Trump Bulldozes Climate Hysteria

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_

President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the climate change industry. Since taking office, the administration has frozen research grants, dismantled federal climate programs, cut off funding to elite universities that research climate issues, and launched legal challenges against state-level climate laws. At the same time, Trump ordered a rollback of federal environmental regulations and influenced billionaire donors like Jeff Bezos to stop funding what the White House now calls “climate alarmism.”

Trump’s goal? End the weaponization of climate science, restore American energy, and stop public institutions from using taxpayer dollars to push an ideologically driven environmental panic.

_THE FACTS_

Upon taking office in January, President Trump re-exited the Paris Agreement and reopened 625 million acres for oil and gas drilling.
Billionaire Jeff Bezos subsequently pulled funding from a key group enforcing Paris Agreement climate targets.
Offshore wind projects are on hold as the White House reconsiders their environmental and economic impacts.
The White House froze nearly $4 million in climate research grants to Princeton, citing its role in promoting “implausible” climate threats and fostering fear.
They also pulled the plug on the US Global Change Research Program, the agency behind the government’s top climate report.
Under Biden, the government outsourced the production of the report to ICF International, an international consulting company, to the tune of $34 million.
An executive order signed by President Trump empowers the Justice Department to challenge state climate laws and carbon tax schemes that “weaken national security and energy dominance.”
The Trump administration is proposing to slash the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) budget by 27 percent, including a 74 percent cut to its Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Office.
The plan would eliminate all funding for climate, ocean, and regional data labs while preserving only tornado and basic weather research.

Climate is always changing. This whole “climate crisis” is just like everything else the left is doing, fear mongering. It’s all used to put money in the dems’ pockets.

The planet has warmed and cooled since it was created. The wuestion isn't "is the planet getting warmer?" It's how to manage the effects in a positive way. I doubt the solution is crushing regulations and massive government control.

Many of these sound policies that reverse climate-change alarmism & weaponization need to be enshrined into law so that they are not reversed when Trump leaves office. Congress needs to be involved to make this happen.

Climate pseudo-science is enriching the few while punishing the masses. If illiberal leftists truly believed their climate assertions, they would be clamoring over each other in pursuit of safe, cheap, effective nuclear power. The fact they are not, tells the world how disingenuous they are. We have listened to decades of fear mongering that just hasn’t met the consequences promised by these hacks. Enough all ready!

While you’re at it, Pres. Trump, perhaps you can get the Weather Channel people to stop proselytizing their climate change religion to those who still watch it. We shifted to “Fox Weather” on TV because we were tired of W.C.’s constant indoctrination.

It has ever been my opinion that our weather is cyclical. Even after the chill of this past winter with temps that did not reach -0 or below in Central NYS, I b.elieve that we are returning to those historic cold winters, with snow reaching the telephone wires, which dominated the winters of the 70's - 90's. I also believe that whatever is happening in our solar system, galazy and universe has a profound effect on our weather. Prove me wrong....

Alabama was in the deep freeze this winter, supposedly because the milder air got pushed up towards Alaska. Weather patterns change. You have to make the best of it.

And Fairbanks, AK (where I lived 2009-2012) -- which used to have more than a dozen days -40F (and more) -- had ZERO days in the -40F range, and less than a dozen in the -30*F range, during 11/2024-02/2025.

I strongly endorse removing funding for programs that don't produce measurable benefits. Regarding cutting NOAA funding, my only concern is how that affects critical research. If the "basic weather research" includes hurricane study, I'm okay with it. But again, if there are measurable benefits from continuing climate and ocean research, possible as it relates to influences on weather, then perhaps some research should continue.

We have to cut all unnecessary spending. Anything that does not directly contribute towards national security and economic superiority needs to go.

It’s all for not, if not enshrined in law!

I was one of 55,000 scientists who signed Fredric Seitz (then head of the American Physical Society) AGAINST the Kyoto Accords in the '90s. Global Warming has been junk-can nonscience and a hoax to grow government from the start. And Obama showed his complete ignorance of science by saying, "the science is settled". The spectroscopic data from Earth orbit showed in the 50's that CO2 was saturating, that it would not affect the heat balance even if it were to become 50 to 100 times the concentration it had then. (Source: The Infrared. Handbook, pub. The Environmental Research Institute of Michigan.) And paleontological data shows that it has been many times the present level in the past. Moreover, NASA observation shows that deserts are greening as CO2 increases. The 200ppm goal might have killed all green plants if the Green New Deal had suceeded. (That would have triggered a new panic for more government to fix it!)

Apart from the chem trails engineered by our own gov't, any changes in temperatures are so minimal, and humans are adaptable enough to 'weather' the changes.
