The Underground Railroad
I'm sure that everyone is familiar with the Underground Railroad that was thrown together in the era of slavery... to help slaves escape to freedom in the North. Of course, it wasn't a real 'railroad' ... it was a metaphor.
The Underwater Railroad
Yesterday, as part of a ridiculous rant about the existential threat of Climate Change, Joe announced that 'we' will "build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean"
I'm not sure what this has to do with Climate Calamity, but it was said in the same breath as "We have plans to build in — in Angola one of the largest solar plants in the world". Now that sounds like a terrific investment for American taxpayers.

Then he goes on to blame the Climate Catastrophe on MAGA Republicans. He completely ignores the fact that his buddies in China were already spewing twice as much CO2 as the United States by 2017.

It does not seem to me that MAGA Republicans are destroying the Earth. Here is a picture of reality from Visual Capitalist.

BUT, please don't take my word for it. Here's the transcript directly from the White House.
