Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday that President Joe Biden’s “obsession to decarbonize” the United States plays into the hands of adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), making them richer and more powerful while imposing costs on Americans and making them less safe.

In an op-ed published on Dec. 5 in the Washington Examiner, Pompeo argued that the Biden administration’s focus on fighting climate change is misguided and will hurt U.S. families while empowering the country’s adversaries.
