DESCRIPTION:Presentation by a writer with the Environmental Working Group of revcom.us 
 followed by discussion on “Biden's Imperialist Climate Bill: The Devil 
 Lies in the Big Picture”\n\nSome environmentalists herald Biden's 
 Inflation Reduction Act, which contains $369 billion of climate spending 
 measures over the next 10 years, as a "watershed moment, a critical turning 
 point that has changed history" that will bring about a clean energy 
 future. Others in the environmental community say that “while the bill is 
 far from perfect, it is at least a start” that could propel the 
 development of solar, wind, and geothermal renewable energy.\n\nWhat's 
 really going on?\n\n"When the Biden climate bill is analyzed and measured 
 against\n1) the enormity of the problem of global warming caused by the use 
 of fossil fuels;\n\n2) the outsize role that the U.S. has historically 
 played, and continues to play, in heating up the planet;\n\n3) the scale 
 and speed of measures needed to actually cope with this accelerating 
 crisis; and\n\n4) what is not only necessary but actually possible on the 
 basis of a revolution, and a radically new socialist state power and mode 
 of production, as concretized in the Constitution for the New Socialist 
 Republic in North America, authored by Bob Avakian—it becomes clear that 
 this legislation falls massively and obscenely short of what is needed. 
 Worse, this climate bill actually prolongs the dependency of the U.S. 
 economy on fossil fuels.\n\nIn plain words, this bill is part of the 
 problem of global warming, not the solution."\n\nFrom the article "Worse 
 than Fine-Print Trickery...Biden's Imperialist Climate Bill: The Devil Lies 
 in the Big Picture" by Raymond Lotta with the Environmental Working Group 
 of revcom.us.  September 5, 2022\n
