From USAToday:
Trump begins with call to kill climate action plan
WASHINGTON —- As President Trump delivered his inaugural address Friday, his new White House team posted a proposal to eliminate President Obama’s environmental regulations.
“For too long, we’ve been held back by burdensome regulations on our energy industry. President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the Climate Action Plan and the Waters of the U.S. rule,” reads the top issue brief on the new president’s White House web site. “
New executive actions are expected later Friday as the nation’s 45th president begins his administration.”
At noon, as Trump took the oath of office, the government switched over the White House web site from Obama’s to Trump’s. (Obama’s is now frozen in time, archived by the National Archives and Records Administration under the Presidential Records Act.)
…
The new president has already taped another White House duty, the Saturday morning radio address to be broadcast tomorrow morning.
After an inaugural address saying that “the forgotten men and women will be forgotten no longer,” Trump had lunch with members of Congress and led the inaugural parade.

Waiting anxiously for Dr. Gavin Schmidt to submit his letter of resignation… 🙂
Remember he actually threatened the then President-elect with something or other dire if he touched GISS.
So what’s he going to do ? Make the climate models run hotter and hotter until Trump caves in?
Or maybe he could just refuse to discuss climate with him, that would be a really hard hitting tactic. Some of these climate scientists can be pretty mean if you don’t agree with them !!
I haven’t been this happy with a new president since – ever. Well, I did like Kennedy, but I was just a kid then.
Yup, I was 4 but I remember how happy my parents were.
…and how crushed they were when he was killed.
The World has dodged a bullett. Today we could have had Hillary Clinton……
There is a God.
+1 Truer works were never spoken.
M Obama was a shed load of tears today. She knows the BHO legacy is going down in flames. BHO, on the other hand, is probably not likely to realize it, yet.
“the BHO legacy”?
Adults are now in control of Washington, DC and will take control of the asylum. The nutters will get the treatment they deserve.
It’s really important you celebrate and have a great time. Go for it, treat yourself to some decent draught bitter, warm and flat. I shall commiserate with my lefty warmest friends 🙂
Gareth, why don’t you simply try waking up. You have a mental condition which is curable but you have to give it a chance.
My lefty warmist friends haven’t spoken to me since the election. And I have scrupulously avoided sending them any digs via e-mail or text.
Then they are not friends. What are you afraid may happen, they already ignore you.
Don’t send digs , just tell them to grow up.
The trouble is that in their perceptions, the facts tend to be digs.
If they are really friends, then treat them just as you did previously, and they will come around.
It is said that we Welsh are inconsolable in defeat and insufferable in victory. I thought I would try bucking the national character.
Just an aside.
There was an American tourist sitting in a bar in Cardiff listening to three ladies near him. He leaned over and said, “I love being in England and hearing the way you ladies speak”. The women looked scornfully at him and yelled ” It’s Wales you idiot, Wales”. The American apologized and said ” Oh I am sorry, I love being in England and hearing the way you whales speak.” It took several weeks before he was able to be released fro the hospital.
Nice one Tom, I must remember that. There is another one going round where two women on a bus in Cardiff dressed in headscarves are chatting to each other. An English tourist leans over and says ‘We speak English in the UK you know” To which they replied ” Ond, Dwy’n siared Cymraeg yn Caerdydd” ( But we speak Welsh in Cardiff) Terrible grammar but I’m sure you get the joke!
Trump, previously Drumpf, I think will be no nonsense about climate. He has a lot of experience, far more court cases than most, and knows or has great advisors that will surely ensure the use of the system to full advantage. I’m prepared to be surprised, very surprised – I think this is the big catalyst for the truth to come out world over and those that have claimed CAGW will be forced to debate the issue, something all of them have (conspiratorially) strenuously avoided. I hope to watch each one destroyed in forced open debate. They are a very dirty blot on the historical spirit of science and learning, and of human moral integrity. They should be stripped of all advantage and dishonourably discharged into the sewers, their works erased from the history of human learning and shown forth as a warning to others that are tempted to deceive & profit from same, to promote themselves and their false reporting in the name of science and academy. I hope Trump prosecutes to the full their blatant deception and various illegal, immoral, self centering profits from same. We know who many of them are. When they realise what Trump is capable of and how the tables have turned today, how they may well be called out into open debate, I expect they’ll be very hard to find.
I find this answer always befuddles advocates of “climate change”.
Did you know that less than 25,000 years ago where the city of Chicago is located today was under almost a mile of solid glacial ice. So, of course I believe in climate change. The climate is always changing. Something changed about 20,000 years ago to unfreeze Chicago. That change is still continued to this very day.
Oh, and that same ice dug the lake bottom.
Second order of Business:
Trump Administration Suspends Insurance Cut for Risky Mortgages
Move effectively ends attempt by Obama administration to lower costs for certain mortgage borrowers
Less than an hour after Donald Trump became U.S. president, the new administration said it was suspending a recent move to lower charges for borrowers on a risky mortgage backed by the government.
“I have a pen and a phone” works both ways. What can be done with a pen and a phone can be undone just as easily.
I have a pen and a phone but I’m out of ink and don’t have any credits left. Awww. Game over.
Now that TrumpcExecutive Orders replace Obama EOs I hope he seeks legislative concurrance so teh next Democrap Administration are not able to merely reinstitute Obozo’s assinine works. Make legisilatively clear the EPA is not chartered to regulate all waters,incuding puddles and plough furrows; or regulate CO2
Like several of your correspondents from the Uk I despair at the now bare-faced lies that constitute the BBCs coverage of climate and environmental matters. The real issue is when our dopey members of Parliament will wake up and start asking some serious questions about the flagrant disregard the BBC, a publicly funded organisation, shows for its charter which stipulates that it should be fair and balanced in its reporting. Instead we are treated to near hysterical abuse of anyone who has a reasoned contrary view to climate reporting on the vanishingly few occasions when a skeptic is allowed anywhere near discussion of such issues on programming. This contempt for truth and fairness is now just plain scandalous . I don’t see any immediate prospect of change either. We actually had a news report yesterday praising China for investing billions on building solar farms – no mention of coal fired power stations. They actually do treat the British people as if they are stupid.
Well, yes, they ARE stupid. The BBC, that is.
And Grauniad, etc. ad nauseam.
But Trump will wake up a lot of the US and within a few months, people will be TALKING. And those lamestream news sources will smarten up, on climate, at least.
The BBC is reporting the facts and the position of science..
I’m afraid it is the skeptic minority view which is out of kilter with observed reality.
Its all very well coming to one of the reservations where skeptic buffalo abound -out there on the plains of reason they are a vanished species.
Unreported here China this week cancelled 104 coal power stations after cancelling 30 last autumn, china last year installed 34 GW of soalr panels – nearly the total installed in Germany.
Talking about the observed reality, this winter has been cold in Europe, including the normally warm Mediterranean holiday destinations, like Majorca

Even the faithful over here wonder about their heavy energy bills. And for what exactly? To turn the climate adjustment knob colder?
Griff,
Please state the evidence which you imagine supports the repeatedly falsified conjecture of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Alarmism. You could win a Nobel Prize for doing what IPCC, Mann, Jones and the other unindicted coconspirators have so miserably failed to accomplish.
You can’t, since there isn’t any. With Trump in power, the CACA jig is up. You need a new justification for mass murder and impoverishment in the service of global domination.
Griff,
China already has an overcapacity of coal power, given its shrinking economy, yet continues to build new ones.
http://energydesk.greenpeace.org/2016/07/13/china-keeps-building-coal-plants-despite-new-overcapacity-policy/
NO
That is not true. The BBC has stated it will only report stories that support their opinion. Now some of those may be factual. But then the factual ones they do not report show that your statement is clearly false.
Can you get anything correct?
Finally, the beginning of the death of the insane climate cult!
Let’s give some credit to one of the individuals that has been on the frontline of this battle for years, our host Anthony Watts. Thank you sir, from a follower since the old site. Nice job. No doubt WUWT is getting an Inauguration Day bounce in traffic…300,000,000 is in sight.
I’ll second that!
Indeed. WUWT is a fountain of truth in a desert of lies.
Thanks Anthony and the folks at WUWT for all you do.
Good on you President Trump! 🙂
Of course the useful idiots are protesting.
Yes, with over 95 arrests so far. I hope the courts make the protesters lives miserable for a year or two.
The sure-fire way for the courts to make the protesters lives miserable is for the Judge to order them “jailed”, in lieu of a $5,000 cash-only Bond, until their “case” comes to Trial by Jury.
With a genuine DOJ, rioting will be treated as the serious crime it is and not play acting. Facing felony riot charges with lawyer costs of 100k and up, in order to to prevent convictions and 200k fines and multiyear jail sentences, Felony Riot is no longer a lark that Daddy will casually pay fines for disorderly conduct misdemeanors.
Shopkeepers will not be the only ones suffering for their juvenile antics. .
Maybe off topic, but what the…?
The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun
The effort to impeach President Donald John Trump is already underway.
At the moment the new commander in chief was sworn in, a campaign to build public support for his impeachment went live at ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org, spearheaded by two liberal advocacy groups aiming to lay the groundwork for his eventual ejection from the White House.
The organizers behind the campaign, Free Speech for People and RootsAction, are hinging their case on Trump’s insistence on maintaining ownership of his luxury hotel and golf course business while in office. Ethics experts have warned that his financial holdings could potentially lead to constitutional violations and undermine public faith in his decision-making.
Their effort is early, strategists admit. But they insist it is not premature — even if it triggers an angry backlash from those who will argue that they are not giving the new president a chance.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/01/20/the-campaign-to-impeach-president-trump-has-begun/
They are like the Nazgûl and will never stop but the pure evil is at least now on full display and cannot be hidden. It will, I expect, blow up in their faces like everything else they’ve thrown at him and wind up in Worldwide revulsion of Democrat slimeballs.
Yeah, the Nazgul in the LOTR picketed Bilbo’s house and spat on Frodo and demanded the Ring back or they would riot and loot Hobbiton.
I don’t recall that Washington sold Mt. Vernon plantation, or that Jefferson sold Monticello. Both working plantations remained their property, and were operated as going concerns.
And besides… it would take a majority in the House to impeach, and 2/3 of the Senate. That has only happened in 1 situation in US history, Andrew Johnson.
That has never happened. The senate vote failed by 1 vote with Johnson.
Bill Clinton was also impeached.
Yes, Marv, but not convicted by the Senate. That is why I referred to them and the 2/3.
To impeach is to charge. Both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached (charged) but neither was convicted.
People don’t know that Washington was the Colonies’ primary Brewer/Distiller, in effect Mt Vernon was the Budwieser and Jack Daniels of his day. . He also sold the quarried sandstone for the Capitol, in lieu of the marble that the architect originally specified.
These fools display their idiocy every day.
I’m glad that Trump is fighting the psychological attempt to discredit the basis of democracy, voting and elections. No longer accept the results and work harder in the next election, these Marxist twits implicitly say, ” Disregard the election if you don’t like the result” and call out the mob then brag, “my mob is bigger then your mob”.
Why hasn’t Hillary Clinton been charged over her traitorous slack handling of State secrets?
Andrew Johnson was not convicted either. It fell one vote short in the Senate.
For coal burning make sure Mercury is rermoved as Trump said “Clean air” . Maybe we should test Natural Gas ,Propane ,Gasoline , Diesel and publish ALL tests.
Mercury?
Are you bleating chemophobic ideology or do you have personal professional experience with its chemical forms, methods of ingestion, harmful dose limits, treatment and so on?
As a young graduate Chemist with my own lab, I did early, modest but groundbreaking work on mercury in human hair. Even so, I don’t now blog like you did because I have nothing recent, novel, scientifically important to contribute.
We like science herre more than belief.
Geoff
Mercury build up in your body and accumulates over your lifetime and is not detectible except in your corpse . By being my own lab rat and approach it as being a electrical control and wiring problem (my employment from 1974 until 2009 and DIY er til present) Simply put; methyl mercury stored in your fat cells or created in your saliva from mercury vapour in your mouth by mercury resistant bacteria strip the selenium out of your selenium dependent nerve filaments breaking one or many connections.
Loosing these connections can logically be connected to almost all conditions being treated but never cured or prevented by modern aliphatic medicine (BP ,diabetes ,stroke ,autism ,Parkinson’s ,Alzheimer’s ,MS .ALS etc. ,etc. ,ad ifinitum pharma profits)
Only a excess store of Selenium available to replace these disconnects fast can give you some form of immunity. In my case I was able to restore full muscle control of both arms and both legs in less than one minute because I had been taking 200mcg selenium yeast for a number of years.
Also have instrument mechanic last job large gas turbines one compresser one generator
testing for residual radiation on turbine parts and mercury in exausts.

No, no, no, no…it is really much simpler than that:

Terry,
OK my first choice was apt.
Also fid research on selenium substituting for sulphur in amino acids in natural legumes eaten by sheep. But only classic conclusions publicised.
I have see that . check out Health Canada part of http://www.ccme.ca SELENIUM paper sect 5.3 page 44 and also search” Mercury poisoning high blood pressure” and ” Mercury poisoning low blood pressure” also” Mercury poisoning persistent high BPM”
This should give you some idea some idea how pernicious Mercury poisoning is.
Also check our mercola.com and naturalnews.com
I also have some diary of someone who has recovered MS ( have same symptoms as Mercury poisoning ,
low magnesium , low selenium , and low everything use of Roundup removes from our food.)
Good riddance to elitist Obama clearly one of the worst Presidents in history.
His idiotic climate alarmist campaign based on lies, deception, distortion and ignorance along with his clueless Democratic Party have done huge damage to Americans and our economy.
It will be a pleasure to support President Trump in undoing the climate alarmist bs that has been shoved down America’s throat the last 8 long years by the Obama Administration and the completely dishonest main stream media.
I really hope that we have change in the climate debate – where science rules over narratives/agendas.
I am so jealous of you Americans, any room over there for a Trump loving Aussie .
Come on up. But you will have to do it “legally” now. 🙂
Good that the climate debate is opening up again. But generally Trump is a narracistic nut and all this right wing USA fist punching from old white men just looks a bit moronic.
Obama held ten inaugural balls, Bill Clinton: fourteen. Trump is attending three. You do the math. Who’s the narcissist?
Obama was/is a “party-animal” that manifested itself during his “all-expenses-paid-for” free-ride college years and were refined during his eight (8) years as the “Golfing and Vacationing POTUS” who most probably only showed up in the Oval Office to sign and date (eg: Affordable Care Act) any and all documents presented to him by his “handlers” without reading or caring one twit what the content/context of said documents stated.
The sounds of a sore loser.
” fist punching from old white men .. ” as part of the political process, Trump won. It’s odd that there was a poster showing the outline of Trump on a shooting target, brought to you by the people who are claiming they are against hate. Is it about hate or somebody that’s white ? Sounds racist. Is your next agenda to deprive white guys of a certain age from voting ? That’s what’s being implied. You didn’t get your way, so it’s an excuse for looting ? Thats why we have a democracy, to have a peaceful transfer of power. Is that what you mean yeah yeah? To do away with this so every time there is a change in power there is a bloodbath? A real bloodbath. You know everybody down to 3rd cousins getting killed, kids,women, and others remotely connected.
The other day, Obama gave a farewell speech in which referred to himself no less than 75 separate times.
Today, President Donald J. Trump gave an inaugural speech in which he referred to himself ZERO times!
Now, Mr. Yeah, which man is it who is the narcissist?
As for being a nut, one of these men recently set free convicted drug dealers, terrorists bent on the destruction of America, and the most traitorous and damaging spy in a generation, among thousands of other criminals and malcontents.
That same man declared a load of made up horseshit political propaganda to be our nation’s most pressing and dangerous national security concern.
Trump, on the other hand, has promised to hand power back to the people, and has mostly created jobs, businesses and useful structures with his life.
I know which one sounds nutty to me.
If the intent and sincerity of his words is lost on you, that that is on you pal.
Menicholas says: “intent and sincerity of his words”
..
You have to be kidding
..
Trump said Feburary 2015: “I would release tax returns”
..

…
LMAO @ur momisugly “intent and sincerity”
We?
My wait will be short, as in nonexistent, because I do not care about his tax returns.
I expect you, however, may have a very long wait indeed.
Concern Troll is Concerned!
Seriously, give it up.
So how did all your previous predictions about Trump turn out, Richard Baguely?
I’m confused. I don’t remember Trump ever promising to give his tax returns over to a bunch of whiny “Democrat” losers. There is certainly no law saying he has to. In fact if somebody else were to breach his privacy by leaking them, there would be hell to pay. Unless, obviously, they were a “Democrat”.
So askith: Richard Baguley January 20, 2017 at 7:24 pm
Richard B, ….. all of Donald Trump’s tax returns are lying on a shelf ….. underneath Obama’s original Birth Certificate …… which you are free to look at whenever you so desire
As I remember from the Donald’s press conference his attorneys laid out very clearly that the President is exempt from the conflict of interest parts of the US Code. He and the VP can keep their business holdings and run them while in office.
That’s my understanding, too.
“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
Consent of Congress
Sorry, Baguley, the Constitution explicitly allows Congress to make the rules as to what is acceptable.
Are you claiming that Trump has foreign investments that somehow breach the Emoluments provisions? I have never seen this before. All American presidents since 1900 have been quite wealthy. It’s one of the premier, if unwritten, requirements to become president. Most would have had foreign investments, yet nobody claimed that they breached the constitution.
In fact, the text I read was: “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State”. Perhaps you can describe, exactly, what present, emolument, office or title you are claiming Trump has received. Secondly, which King, Prince, or foreign State did he receive it from.
On the face of it, this claim is an extremely long stretch and has absolutely no hope of succeeding.
You just keep flailing from one irrelevant point to another, sorry I missed it in real time, would have been fun smackin’ you around. As to tax returns, the ones in question are still under audit by state of New York and IRS.Perhaps you could get on the phone and tell them to hurry the f**k cuz you are impatient with them. Be sure to give your full name and address when you call, and let us know how that works out for you.
That does not appear to have anything to do with the topic of conflict of interest. Perhaps you do not understand the clause?
Great, great day for America!

…and I still have to remove the D J T keys from the computer keyboards.
I was watching CNN earlier and they were all transfixed by a photograph of Obama walking out the door as he left the White House for the last time, and were moaning about him leaving. It’s over.
I told you all not to worry!
