Green International Airport. He then took a car to Somerset, Massachusetts, to deliver a 20-minute speech on what he says is a \u201cclimate emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExtreme weather disrupts supply chains, causing delays and shortages for consumers and businesses,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kqai2X-7bzg\">said<\/a> from the closed-down coal-powered energy plant, Brayton Point. \u201cClimate change is literally an existential threat to our nation and to the world.\u201d A new wind turbine manufacturing plant will soon be built at Brayton Point, which is why the president\u2019s team chose the location for his speech.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also blasted Congress for failing to craft legislation to address climate change adequately. Recently, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-senator-throws-another-wrench-into-bidens-agenda-biden-is-not-pleased\">indicated<\/a> he would not support his party\u2019s climate proposals, which he says would be disastrous for his home state of West Virginia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an emergency. An emergency,\u201d the president continued on Wednesday. \u201cI said last week, and I say it again loud and clear: as president, I\u2019ll use my executive powers to combat climate the climate crisis in the absence of congressional action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DevonHeinen\/status\/1549828753072594944\">announced<\/a> that he would sign several new executive orders directing billions of dollars toward clean energy initiatives. As part of those actions, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will use $2.3 billion toward the Building Resilient Infrastructure Communities program, which will help thousands of communities.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, he also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DevonHeinen\/status\/1549828753072594944\">said<\/a> that the Department of Interior would propose a massive wind farm covering 700,000 acres in the Gulf of Mexico, among other initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of his remarks, Biden praised his climate czar and one of his \u201cdearest friends\u201d John Kerry, for the \u201cgreat job, leading our international Special Presidential Envoy on Climate, traveling the world, and talking with an awful lot of people, and talking them into moving more of they\u2019ve been doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s comments come a day after Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/john-kerrys-family-private-jet-emitted-300-metric-tons-carbon-biden-took-office\">reported<\/a> that Kerry\u2019s private jet has flown nearly 50 trips and expelled 715,886 pounds, or 325 metric tons, of carbon since Biden became president.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Kerry flew to Iceland on a private jet to accept an award for his activism against global warming. He defended his travel at the time by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/john-kerry-private-jet-iceland-climate-award\">saying<\/a> it was the \u201conly choice for somebody like me who is traveling the world to win this battle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In reaction to the latest numbers on the Kerry family\u2019s hot air emissions, Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) tweeted, \u201cSmug, hypocritical, hammering middle-class families, and now this: John Kerry is one of the single biggest polluters &#038; GHG emitters in the world. Once again, I call for him to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Smug, hypocritical, hammering middle-class families, and now this: <\/p>\n<p>John Kerry is one of the single biggest polluters &#038; GHG emitters in the world. <\/p>\n<p>Once again, I call for him to resign.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Qbr1weB9YX\">https:\/\/t.co\/Qbr1weB9YX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sen.
