Biden Backs Anti-Fracking UN Agenda While Harris Promises Not to Ban Fracking

The White House's approval of the far-left UN agenda could cause more problems for Vice President Kamala Harris

The Biden-Harris Administration signed on to a radical United Nations agenda calling for zero-carbon emissions and an end to fossil fuels.

The move is seemingly at odds with Vice President Kamala Harris’s more recent attempts to moderate her prior positions on climate regulations as the Democratic presidential nominee, such as her previous support for a total ban on natural gas fracking.

The U.N. Pact for the Future doubles down on the most far-reaching climate policies pushed by the Biden-Harris Administration, calling for drastic changes that would impact the lives of every person in the U.S. and across the world.

“Accelerating efforts towards the phase-down of unabated coal power; accelerating efforts globally towards net zero emission energy systems, utilizing zero- and low-carbon fuels well before or by around mid-century; transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy systems, in a just, orderly and equitable manner, accelerating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net zero by 2050,” says the U.N. document.

The newly adopted agenda would require an eventual ban on fracking and all other methods of extracting fossil fuels.

Vice President Harris promised to ban fracking while on the campaign trail during the 2020 election.

Fracking, a method of extracting natural gas, has been controversial among environmental activists but remains popular among working-class Americans. It is largely responsible for growing domestic energy production.

Harris has since walked back her outward support for a fracking ban, reassuring voters — especially Pennsylvanians employed in the natural gas industry — that she would allow fracking to continue.

The administration’s support for the U.N.’s radical new agenda appears to be yet another instance where it’s unclear exactly which policies a future President Harris would back.

Fracking is far from the only thing that would be banned by the new agenda.

The Pact for the Future calls for an end to all carbon emissions by 2050, including a ban on gas-powered cars and an end to coal power.

The agenda envisions a world where people across the globe are forced to drive expensive and less reliable electric vehicles or take public transportation.

Under the U.N.’s plan for the future, current energy production methods would be replaced with intermittent and inefficient “renewable” energy sources, such as solar and wind power.

The agenda promises to push the entire country towards the controversial renewable energy policies and electric vehicle mandates, similar to those championed in Maine by environmental groups and the administration of Gov. Janet Mills (D).

Farmers are also under threat from the agenda’s climate goals.

Nations supporting the Pact for the Future agreed to language calling for a dramatic reduction in methane emissions by 2030, a potentially catastrophic policy for farmers and the global food supply.

The methane limits are aimed at reducing the volume of bovine flatulence and burping, which activists have long claimed contribute disproportionately to climate change. Environmental activists have been spreading fear about methane emissions for years, suggesting that the methane produced by cows farting could accelerate the Earth’s march toward a doomsday scenario.

The Irish government, for example, has used the fear of methane emissions to push forward with a plan to force the nation’s dairy farmers to slaughter 200,000 cattle to lower emissions.

The policy promises to devastate the country’s farmers.

The mention of methane in the Pact suggests that far more nations across the globe could demand the mass slaughter of livestock within the next six years in the name of reducing emissions by 2030.

Climate change is just one part of the U.N.’s new Biden-approved agenda.

The U.N. also takes aim at online “misinformation,” claiming that it is “harmful to societies and individuals and negatively affects the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms.”

It calls on tech companies to implement safeguards to stop “hate speech” from artificial intelligence and demands that social media outlets provide information to governments to help address misinformation and hate speech.

    Obviously Harris is lying when she claims she supports fracking. What is troubling is how she gets away with the lies.
