The administration argues that climate regulations are economically burdensome, stifling industries while having minimal impact on global temperatures. Officials claim this deregulation will reduce energy costs and promote domestic energy production, including coal.
The administration dismisses CO2 as an existential threat, calling climate change a natural cycle influenced by solar, oceanic and geological factors—not human activity. Trump has mocked climate activists, particularly during extreme cold weather events.
The move is framed as a rejection of globalist climate policies pushed by the UN and World Economic Forum, which the administration sees as tools for centralized control over energy, food and transportation systems. Supporters argue CO2 is essential for plant growth and warn against "net zero" mandates as a path to economic destabilization and surveillance.
The EPA's proposal eliminates automaker emissions tracking and paves the way for further deregulation. Critics warn of ecological harm, but supporters hail it as a victory against bureaucratic overreach and a return to energy independence.
In a sweeping reversal of Obama-era climate policies, the Trump administration announced plans to strip greenhouse gases from the list of federally regulated pollutants, dismantling the legal foundation for nearly two decades of environmental regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Administrator Lee Zeldin, will formally revoke the 2009 "endangerment finding"—a landmark ruling that classified carbon dioxide and other emissions as threats to public health.
The move, hailed by the administration as "the largest act of deregulation in U.S. history," aligns with President Donald Trump's long-standing skepticism of climate alarmism and his push for energy independence. Critics warn of ecological consequences, but supporters argue the policy shift liberates industries from burdensome red tape and rejects what they call "dubious science" fueling globalists climate agenda...<<<Read More>>>...
