YouTube Description
as posted by the channelConservative Democrat Senators Joe Manchin and Mark Kelly joined their Republican colleagues in blocking President Biden from declaring a national emergency from the effects of climate change. The Biden administration has been under pressure from environmentalists to declare the emergency from his first days in office and although the decision is nonbinding, Manchin and Kelly have shown where their loyalties lie on climate issues. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Two right-wing Democrats, Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Mark Kelly of Arizona, crossed the aisle Wednesday to help Republicans approve a motion aimed at barring President Joe Biden from declaring a climate emergency, a step that green groups have been pressuring him to take since his first day in office.
The nonbinding motion, sponsored by Sen. Shelley Capito (R-W.Va.) and approved by a vote of 49-47, states that Biden "cannot use climate change as the basis to declare a national emergency." House and Senate lawmakers will consider the motion as part of their efforts to finalize legislation packed with subsidies to profitable microchip corporations.
It's unclear whether lawmakers will ultimately include the climate emergency language in the final bill, but environmentalists voiced outrage at the motion's passage as Manchin and Republicans continue to obstruct desperately needed congressional action to slash greenhouse gas emissions and bolster renewable energy production.
A separate motion instructing lawmakers to reject provisions that "prohibit development of an all-of-the-above energy portfolio"—which would include oil and gas production—also sailed through Wednesday by voice vote."
