On Tuesday, President Joe Biden unveiled the first-ever federal rule aimed at safeguarding workers from extreme heat. This comes in the wake of a scorching summer that some so-called “scientists” predict will be one of the hottest on record.
The new regulations, set to affect an estimated 35 million workers, won’t be finalized until at least 2026. Biden is clearly using this rule as a tool to push his climate and pro-labor agenda, desperately trying to appease the dwindling number of supporters he has left.
“Extreme weather events drive home a point I’ve been saying for so long: Ignoring climate change is deadly, dangerous, and irresponsible,” Biden said at the District of Columbia’s Emergency Operations Center, standing in front of a map showing heat levels across the United States.
This proposal represents a significant moment for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The organization has been widely criticized for its failure to introduce heat safety regulations over the past few decades. According to federal estimates, high temperatures have resulted in the deaths of approximately 815 workers and serious injuries to around 70,000 more between 1992 and 2017.
In his power-grabbing announcement, Biden insultingly referred to Americans who disagree with him as “really, really, stupid.”

Some are arguing that climate change is intensifying extreme heat, pointing to shattered temperature records this summer in New England. This has reportedly led to an increase in emergency room visits and even claimed the life of a construction worker in Rhode Island last week.
However, the future of this regulation is far from certain. Trump has promised to reverse parts of Biden’s climate change agenda, questioning the scientific consensus that burning fossil fuels is causing global temperatures to rise. This could leave the fate of the heat rules in the hands of voters in the upcoming November election.
Biden’s event took a strange turn during a meet and greet.
It was…quite bizarre.

He seems desperate for black votes.
The new regulations have sparked backlash from RNC officials, who have criticized the administration.
“If Joe Biden cared about the environment, he would stop jetting his wife across the country and wasting money on his failing campaign that has him losing in his own internal polls,” said Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley.
