A 2017 report by the United Nations Environment Program found that "if action to combat climate change is limited to just current pledges, the Earth will get at least 3Â degreesC (5.4Â degreesF) warmer by 2100 relative to preindustrial levels. This amount of warming would vastly exceed the Paris Agreement's goal, which is to limit global warming by the end of the century to 2Â degreesC (3.6Â degreesF),"Â reported National Geographic.

"[3Â degreesC increase] would bring mass extinctions and large parts of the planet would be uninhabitable," the UNEP warned in 2019.

If liberals head back to brunch in a month thinking that the Biden Administration will move the needle in the right direction, if they stop being terrified, we are doomed. For as bizarre as it sounds, Donald Trump provided a valuable service when he scared the living daylights out of us.

Consider a more modern analogy than the loaf of bread: if a two-pill dose of antibiotics is required to cure an illness, taking one instead doesn't make you half better. It actually makes you worse because not only do you not get better, you destroy your immune system's ability to fight the disease.

This country is teetering on the verge of collapse. We can't afford to settle for the single-pill solutions of incremental Bidenism.
