Live at 1 p.m. Eastern: Making Climate Policy Sane Again – The Climate Realism Show #142

The Climate Realism Show – LIVE every Friday at 1 p.m. ET

President Trump wasted no time after his inauguration on Monday reversing all of his predecessor’s executive orders that made climate alarmism and “green” energy the focus of American government. He didn’t just reverse bad policies, and pull us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, he went farther than he did in his first term to ramp up American energy production and rein in an Environmental Protection Agency that regulated far beyond its mandate. Among at least 47 climate- and energy-related EOs signed in the first 24 hours of his swearing-in was one tackling what has long served as the keystone of limitless environmental regulation: the “endangerment finding” for carbon dioxide emissions. May we finally see the end of the EPA’s abuse of its regulatory power?

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely are joined by special guest Myron Ebell, who was on President Trump’s EPA Transition Team for his first term, to break down what these reversals of radical climate and energy policy will mean for America and the world. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week.

Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET (noon CT) and jump in the chat to offer your comments and questions for us.

Since nobody can affect the climate, whatever deluded ‘researchers’ or activists may scream, the only sensible policy is the one of better mitigation.

Did Trump also defund UNFCCC ?

Use Google or Bing and search: UNFCCC budget. There is a table that list the countries, their contributions (aka “donations”) and arears. I just checked the IPCC. The USA made no donations to the IPCC. You should also check UN COP. For COP28, the countries pledged 57 billion dollars.

After you do all of this, come back and post the results. The big question: How much of the funds do the poor people actually get, after the bureaucrats and oligarchs take their administrative and consulting fees?

Found this

Trump quits Paris agreement and pauses foreign climate finance

The executive order also added that the US would “immediately cease or revoke any purported financial commitment made by the United States under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).”

Unbelievably, the UNFCCC has a “donate now” button!

In reference to the use of computer models for the EPA CO2 endangerment finding. Dr. Susan Crockford has an article at Biology Bites about climate models being accepted for Endangered Species assessments of threatened for polar bears, ringed seals, bearded seals, wolverine and emperor penguin.

Be still, my heart! Here’s hoping that real progress will be made curtailing federal support for Unreliables; especially offshore wind! Considering the problems that various agencies have been experiencing getting bids, one might begin to hope that that whole ridiculous farce is flailing!
Now do onshore wind!! Millions of bugs, bats, and birds will thank you!!
