ClimateTV – LIVE at 1PM ET – Climate Policy at the GOP Convention: What a Second Trump Term Could Look Like

As the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee comes to a close, we look at the climate and energy platform of the party. Do they differ from Trump’s first-term agenda? What is the stance of VP candidate J.D. Vance on the topic considering Trump has tapped Vance to carry his MAGA agenda forward? To talk about all this – plus the Crazy Climate News of the Week – we have as our guest Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com who was a member of the EPA Transition Team for the first Trump presidency.

What of that agenda was implemented? What wasn’t and why? And if Trump is elected again, will he take a more-aggressive approach? And does the reversal of the Chevron Doctrine that gave agencies like the EPA enormous unchecked power factor in here at all?

At 1 p.m. ET, tune in LIVE for the stream with The Heartland Institute’s Jim Lakely, Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, and Linnea Lueken. Join the chat and we’ll try to answer your questions on the air.

If he’s as successful with it as with his promise to revive coal, he might end up killing off the US coal industry for good. 😛

Like his idol putin he will involuntary speed up the energy transition.

Also I meant killing off US oil industry for good in my post above. After it reaching record output under Biden.

Why is it this communist useful idiot is allowed to post graphics to WUWT while others are not?

Reply to  karlomonte

I suspect it has more to do with understanding the “formatting” rather than anything on WUWT “allowing” it.
“Pre” used to work for me to put up a table but it doesn’t work for me anymore. This site has gone through a number of changes. (Along with the changes to Google, Microsoft and Apple.)

For me, the button is off to the far right of the “format bar” after I hit reply.
Perhaps send a message under “About” then “contact” describing the problem and your “system”?

That record output could have been even larger- and should have been- to drive prices down- which would help bring down inflation.

Great – hope he does it. Some people might LIKE to get an EV, but NOBODY wants to be forced to do so. And those of us who don’t like them don’t want to pay a subsidy for those who do want them. Trump knows this.

In 2016 there were stories leaking out of the Brandon SS detail that the dementia was “getting very bad”. Today this zombie puppet can’t even follow the cue card directions carefully provided to him by the puppeteers: “YOU walk to podium.” Half the time he reads the cues out loud.

Meanwhile, out in the fringe area of the GOP convention where folks have not gotten the message “there are only two kinds of conservatives, skeptics of CAGW and those who’d become skeptics after intense reading of sites like WUWT,” we have this report today from National Propaganda Radio:

Climate hasn’t been core to the GOP. These conservatives are trying to change that

For those who may have missed it about that ignoramus group’s founder, the Heartland Institute’s James Taylor delivered quite a beatdown to that guy at AmericanThinker on May 16th: “Beware of Climate Activists Cosplaying as ‘Conservatives’

Existential threat. Existential threat. Existential threat. Literal, not figurative. Existential threat. It is such a difficult world for people who want words to have meanings. Existential threat.

Existential threat.
Existential threat.
Existential threat.
Existential threat.

Each time words get used incorrectly a little part of their original meaning dies.
Existential threat.

I’m going to go for an existential threat around the block.
Amazon is having a big sale on existential threats.
My dog existential threated on the carpet.

as for the idea of a mass extinction- I don’t agree- they say it’s one of the existential threats- because they fail to grasp how vigorous nature is- I was a forester for 50 years- nature will overwhelm you if you let it- if we humans all vanished, nature would over over our urban areas in a few short years- just stop mowing your law for a few years and you’ll have a young forest

When I was in High School (Jesuit. One of the best in county.), my (junior year )Theology Class was on “Existentialism”.
Our unpopular teacher had the unfortunate coincidence of his last name being the same as the name the brand name on the urinal the valves. They were called “Flush Boys”.
That became his nick name.
I don’t know which came first.
In out basket ball game for a free throw, everyone would raise a fist and say “flush” if it was made. “Swish” at other schools.
This was in the late ’60s to early ’70s.
(I wonder if my HS almamater still says, “Flush”?)

Small correction.
We say “flush”. We said “SWOOOOSH”.

I’m finding it so entertaining listening to Trump cultists telling us it was divine intervention that saved the Donald last Saturday. I looked it up and Hitler had 6 attempts on his life. So does God love Hitler six times more than he loves Donald. If so, what a loser…..

Poor simpleton, can’t accept the fact that his comrade missed…

… mostly due to the fact that Trump happened to turn his head at that second.

Divine intervention.. pure luck.. ??

Tries to link Trump to Hitler is a really pathetic and slimy way..

… when the real Hitler-type activity is from Biden and the democrats.

What a disgusting marxist LOSER the simpleton is showing itself to be.
