Trump’s cancellation of the so-called “endangerment finding” with respect to CO2 made by the Obama White House back in 2009 is so profoundly important as to make up for a legion of Trump’s spending, borrowing, easy money, and tariffing sins. Among countless others.
The entire notion that fossil-fuel-based industrial civilization threatens to boil the planet alive is sheer crackpottery. Actually, as we reprise below, the geologic and climatic history of the planet so clearly refutes the Climate Crisis nonsense as to point to an even more malefic force at work than just an egregious policy mistake.
In fact, the entire Climate Crisis Hoax was a deliberately Manufactured Lie, which emanated from the permanent political class and career nomenklatura domiciled in Washington, the UN, London, and Brussels. Their purpose was transparent: Namely, the propagation of an entire gestalt centered on an existential threat to the very life of the planet, thereby implicating sweeping emergency expansion of state power to override and supplant the very rudiments and rhythms of our fossil-fuel-based industrial society and the free market-rooted lifestyles and prosperity it enables.
Stated more bluntly, the Climate Change Hoax was the most blatant grab for state power in human history to date (possibly exceeded only by the Covid-era attempt to control the microbial kingdom). And, now, perhaps with no more intentionality than that of the proverbial blind squirrel which stumbles upon an acorn, Trump has struck decisively at the entire prosperity-endangering predicate of this great lie. Not only will the cantilevered green energy regulatory and subsidy structure predicated on the Obama endangerment finding now rapidly fall by the wayside, but the whole absurd religion of mankind’s alleged sinful stewardship of the planet will be up for honest refutation for the first time in three decades.
Perhaps it will take a year or two, or even a decade or more, but the phony “science” and risible economics on which the climate scam was based will now unravel into a heap of discredited propaganda and modern-day witchcraftery. With some luck and leadership from now emboldened dissenters in government, industry, science, and the public conversation alike, we may even benefit from a “never again” syndrome in our national politics capable of keeping the statists at bay for at least a few decades longer.
Perforce, therefore, the foundation myths of the Climate Crisis scam needs to be eviscerated limb-for-limb in order to document that the entire story was and is bogus. The truth is, the equipoise of the planet is not remotely in danger from burning fossil fuels or other human endeavors that make modern life more pleasant and tolerable.
In the first place, there never has been planetary equipoise!.......
.....The only problem is that Mann’s graph was as phony as the Piltdown Man itself—the latter famously being confected in England in 1912 and conveniently “discovered” by an amateur anthropologist who claimed it was the missing link in human evolution. At length, it was shown that the fossil was a forgery; it consisted of a modern human cranium and an orangutan jaw with filed-down teeth.
In this case, professor Mann and his accomplices at the IPCC doctored the evidence, used misleading data from Southwestern US tree rings in lieu of abundant alternative data showing the contrary, and jiggered their computer models to generate pre-specified results.
That is, the models were goal-seeked by Mann and his associates to prove the man-made warming thesis. In essence, it was accomplished by simply pasting modern temperature records showing steady increases on top of a pre-industrial baseline that never happened.
The phony pre-industrial baseline is depicted by the yellow area in the graph for the period 1400-1900. The hockey stick-like eruption of the yellow space after 1900, of course, allegedly depicts the man-made temperature rise since the onset of the hydrocarbon age.
By contrast, the corrected version is in the blue area. In this version—which comports with the history of climate oscillations cited above—there is no hockey stick because the shaft never happened; it was invented by computer model manipulations, not extracted from the abundant scientific data on which the Mann study was allegedly based.
So the question is answered. The mid-19th century is exactly the wrong baseline from which to measure global temperature change during modern times.
The blue area of the chart, in fact, is the smoking gun which obliterates the whole predicate on which the Climate Crisis Hoax is being foisted upon the everyday people of the world.
So, yes, a blind squirrel sometimes makes a life-saving find, and Donald Trump has just made one that will help sustain industrial civilization itself for a long time to come.
