Because there’s no better way to make environmentalism the official religion of the U.S. government.

President Joe Biden on Wednesday will launch the “American Climate Corps,” according to the White House, which described it as “a workforce training and service initiative” for more than 20,000 Americans “that will ensure more young people have access to the skills-based training necessary for good-paying careers in the clean energy and climate resilience economy.”

Biden had endorsed a similar idea of a “Civilian Climate Corps” while running for president in the 2021 election. But the initiative was ultimately left out of the pared down version of Biden’s “Build Back Better” bill that became the Inflation Reduction Act.

Dozens of climate activists and Democratic lawmakers have repeatedly called on Biden to create a federally funded jobs program that would carry out climate and conservation projects. They have implored him to use his executive powers as president to establish the initiative on his own, which is what he’s doing now.

What better way to put 20,000 Americans on the federal payroll? No doubt, this is exactly what the country needs. Never mind about the high inflation, sagging economy, and rising crime rates. His Fraudulency’s national climate adviser made the point of the new bureaucracy clear if training climate cultists but only if you read between the lines (emphasis mine).

Americans will be able to sign up online for the American Climate Corps, which the White House said will train young people in clean energy, conservation and climate resilience related skills. There will be a focus on climate justice, too, with an emphasis on helping underserved communities, according to the White House.

Last year, a proposal similar to Biden’s American Climate Corp. couldn’t get passed in Congress, so His Fraudulency decided to create it by declaration (so much for the Constitution). The only consolation is that the agency will only hire 20,000 people as opposed to the original proposal had the number at 200,000. None the less, this will only result in people doing minimal work while drawing huge salaries.
