This is a historic week—historically catastrophic for climate alarmists who have bullied their way through every institution in the United States and around the world. Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency formally announced, at long last, that it will repeal the so-called “Endangerment Finding” for carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The EPA has determined that GHGs are not pollution and that their emissions from human activity do not pose a threat to human health.
On the same day, Trump’s Department of Energy released a “critical review of impacts of GHG emissions on the U.S. climate.” This marks the first time ever that a climate report from the federal government can withstand scientific scrutiny, as it is based on actual science and data rather than politics or any particular agenda.
The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will be joined by Dr. Judith Curry, president of Climate Forecast Applications Network (CFAN). Dr. Curry is one of America’s most prominent climate scientists and a co-author of the Department of Energy’s critical review. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week from around the world. Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, and X, and we will answer your questions in the live chat.

Once published in the Federal Register, a 45-day comment period will begin. You can be assured that every Climate Change organization will make negative comments. Ideally, realists will make favorable comments.
And the inclusion of various atmospheric gases as pollutants to be regulated (CO2, CH4, etc) was put into the IRA, so that part will have to be repealed.
It is by no means over, but this may be the beginning of the end.

From the home page, scroll down to the panel “Regular Filling Agencies”, then click on
“Environmental Protection Agency”.
I still say it is naive to think that after all this time, the Climate Liars are going to be interested in an honest debate about climate. They have too much at stake, including their careers and their egos. Science? Don’t make me laugh.
Judith mentions the “social cost of carbon”
Even if there is any real “social cost of carbon” (not based on fantasy)…
… the SOCIAL BENEFIT is many many magnitudes bigger. !
Energy transition.. wind and solar a tiny vanishingly small part.. niche only
And they are very far from being CLEAN… probably the most environmentally damaging forms of energy there is.
re Hunga Tonga.
Interesting watching the Antarctic sea ice recovering year by year from the obvious ocean warming event.
