The Climate Hoax Is Being Canceled with the EPA Terminating the “Endangerment Finding”
The Supreme Court case Massachusetts v. EPA in 2007 authorized the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases if the agency made the determination that global warming harms human health. In an appearance on the Ruthless Podcast this week, Zeldin said reversing the Endangerment Finding would be the “most significant deregulatory action in U.S. history.”In other words, our rulers in robes at the Supreme Court decreed in 2007 that if the EPA were to determine that global warming, caused by “greenhouse gases,” endangers health, then the governing mechanisms of the United States that are found in the Constitution could be suspended. Thereafter, the EPA could assume command-and-control regulatory powers over every aspect of economic activity, so long as those activities involved “greenhouse gases.” Coincidentally, when you breathe, you are exhaling CO2, a “greenhouse gas.” Conveniently enough, once Barack Obama became President in 2009, his EPA promptly ruled that “greenhouse gases in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.” This became known as the “Endangerment Clause.” This clause took specific aim at gasoline powered cars in stating that “greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas pollution that threatens public health and welfare.” The Endangerment Clause was the moment when the climate cult started worshiping electric vehicles, and regulators started working to mandate them. July 29, 2025 was the date that Donald Trump and Lee Zeldin put a stop to the madness. “EPA Releases Proposal to Rescind Obama-Era Endangerment Finding, Regulations that Paved the Way for Electric Vehicle Mandates” [EPA Press Office – 7/29/2025]
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin released the agency’s proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regulations, including the Biden-Harris Administration’s electric vehicle (EV) mandate. If finalized, the proposal would repeal all resulting greenhouse gas emissions regulations for motor vehicles and engines, thereby reinstating consumer choice and giving Americans the ability to purchase a safe and affordable car for their family while decreasing the cost of living on all products that trucks deliver. “With this proposal, the Trump EPA is proposing to end sixteen years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers,” said EPA Administrator Zeldin. “In our work so far, many stakeholders have told me that the Obama and Biden EPAs twisted the law, ignored precedent, and warped science to achieve their preferred ends and stick American families with hundreds of billions of dollars in hidden taxes every single year.”This is a joyous moment. There is more work to do, but Trump and Zeldin have proved that they relish the battle. Rather than come up with my own closing summary, I am simply going to quote Research Fellow Linnea Lueken from that same Heartland press release.
“The obsession over a trace gas is absurd, antiscientific, and has led to pain for Americans in the form of higher energy bills, overregulation of appliances, agriculture, and more. Basically, the Endangerment Finding gave unaccountable government agencies the ability to have a say over whatever they wanted, since every human activity results in the production of carbon dioxide. It never should have happened. The government should never have tried regulating a gas essential for life in the first place.”[buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

Simply reversing the EPA decision only matters while there is Republican administration, a Democrat administration would simply put reauthorize it.
Does the EPA really have the statutory authority to conjure whatever the hell they want essentially bind congress, the executive and the states to their edicts?
I find that implausible that they were given that authority by statute, more like it springs forth from some sort of emanation and penumbra only SCOTUS can see.

"greenhouse gases from new motor vehicles and new motor vehicle engines contribute to the greenhouse gas pollution that threatens public health and welfare.”
The Endangerment Clause was the moment when the climate cult started worshiping electric vehicles,
No mention when an EV lights off and dumps more greenhouse gases during it's burn that all the cars in the city in a day.

It will be the migration of terms--BECAUSE we have a supremacy of judges--who deal in WORDS that would end America, were that possible.
It is the office of the judges that they can reinterpret what was passed under the "will of the people" to deny the will of the people.
But the American style of government is about the Will of the People, NOT the interpretation of judges.
This is why judges need to be slapped back into their place.

Sadly, the real damage has already been done. Norway has already sequestered hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 and injected it into the empty oil wells in the North Sea. The same people who believe "The Butterfly Effect" is real simultaneously lecture that removing hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 from the natural environment is a victory for the environment.
Now let's all watch as trees across the planet die and crop yeilds drop from the lack of CO2, and the greens tell us it is climate change and industrialiation.

If scotus ruled they can do this, how does the admin undo that ruling?
SCOTUS ruled that - if the EPA said that CO2 was an existential threat - then, and only then, could the EPA control everything. It therefore follows that - if the EPA pulls and Emily Litella - then their power to control everything is removed.
A bigger concern is that the existing SCOTUS ruling provides a mechanism for a future Democrat EPA to restore the ruling and then enact even more draconian restrictions to make up for lost time. The only way to overcome that would be for Congress to get off its collective ass and do their fucking job.
So we're doomed.

None of this is my fault. To stop global freezing to death in the 70's and the ozone layer thinning... I did not use hairspray at all on my hippie hair. I also did not use spray air freshners or deodorants, altho I did and do wear Secret. I was not one of those hippies with arm pit hair or BO. This should have helped, as I did make an effort for the future.
Regarding the EPA and DDT: I was known to frequently ride my bike (on the sidewalk!) weekly in the clouds of poison. It was awesome! My mother's only rule was to stay on the sidewalk. This was as much of a summer event for us as the ice cream truck when we lived in town, altho I don't recall them both at the same time...which would have blown my mind in the joys of summer! I am still here. Sadly, mosquitoes still like me.
One would think an entire generation of us DDT bike riders would drop dead simultaneously, leading to a new mystery virus pandemic. So far, so good!

Second, human derived sources are a rounding error.
Third, Earth is a self contained system and all of the CO2 that could potentially be released to the atmosphere is bound up through the Carbon Cycle.
What gets released is quickly recaptured.
Or alternatively....
Anthropogenic climate change is complete and utter bullsh*t.

44 If anything that emits carbon dioxide is a pollutant and harms human health, and the EPA is empowered to take any action to offset that:
Then all human life is a pollutant, and the EPA is empowered to remove the threat of humans upon human health.
Do you mean that, carbon unit?

They'll reinstitute it, all of it, enhanced, once they regain the levers of power. Because it's all about control over the public. And those policies are a mechanism to force obedience.
Could be, but I'm inclined to think they'll hold off on that for awhile because they're looking at an electoral bloodbath caused by those same policies.

Massachusetts v. EPA was a totally insane -- and 100% nakedly political -- decision by the leftwing scumdumpsters on the Court. It was even worse that it looked. The Court held not only that the EPA can regulate "greenhouse gases," but that it must.
Oh and for those wondering how the (spit) state of Assachusetts had standing to sue the EPA over this? The Court found the state suffered a real harm because -- ready for this? -- global warming contributed to rising sea levels that would cost the state money to abate. Pure political insanity.
The majority of the Court on the decision was a whos-who of slimy dirtbag ratfuck cocksuckers: Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, Souter, and Stevens. May Satan eternally torment their crotches.

I have come to the conclusion that there are no actual, tested and replicable experiments that prove there is a "greenhouse" effect.
It's all fake and gay "computer models." A fugazi. A fake. A wil-o-wisp. It doesn't exist. It isn't real.
The closest any of these kooks ever come to a real-world test is ... Venus.
And they lie their asses off over that, deceiving that the intense heat on that planet is caused by a "greenhouse" effect.
And not the fact that it is much closer to the Sun and the "day" is near a year long--even the Earth, at its current position, would be cooked to a crisp if one side faced the Sun for that long!
An illiterate camel herder in ancient Mesopotamia guessing the thunder is caused by Jinn throwing rocks into the ether is as a legitimate of a hypothesis as the "greenhouse effect."

“Those scheming bastards”
Considering what Exxon, Shell and other companies feared, based upon documentation from the 1970’s, 80’s, early-90’s that is readily available on the interwebs.. they’re probably congratulating themselves that the late-80’s shift to paid denial worked. Cigars for everyone!
In a way, it all likely doesn’t matter all that much.. if China coal imports continue to fall off an absolute cliff at the rates they currently are, the “green new scam” will be pushed as an arms race sooner or later.

Note well there are no studies required when thousands of good careers are ruined, pipeline workers, coal miners. “Learn to code” they say. “Snail Darters”

Then why has atmospheric CO2 by 50% in the last 200 years? That is not to say it's causing global warming.
Posted by: Archimedes at August 01, 2025 11:13 AM (Riz8t)
Who knows how fast these things go? If you have water with two parts per billion of something and one part per billion gets added, it's a 50% increase. Would anyone notice or care?
Also they fudge temperatures and release viruses, how do we know they're not fudging the atmosphere estimations?

The first reproducibly accurate measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) began in 1958 at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii, where continuous monitoring has been conducted since then.
Fine, let's exclude all measurements before 1958, the year you cite. In 1958, Mauna Loa measured atmospheric CO2 at 315 ppm. It's now about 420 ppm. We do our side no favors by simply ignoring things we don't like.

But it’s not simply a trace gas. It’s absolutely necessary for photosynthesis and it seems we’re living in a time of CO2 shortages. The “Greens” with their CO2 obsession are trying to kill life itself.
In a greenhouse, if CO2 is raised to 800 ppm, plant production doubles. That’s over twice the level that is allegedly setting the earth on fire and killing us.
And what do plants do with CO2? They sequester it. What we really need is more CO2 so plants can sequester it.

Again, the earth is a closed system, the vast overwhelming majority of CO2 is bound up, it is an atmospheric trace gas, the reason why they use PPM instead of pct is because 400ppm is scarier than saying 0.03989xxx.

Except that there is no demonstrated real world correlation (see below) between CO2 levels and temperature at all - best guess from deep time models is that it is a lagging indicator, not a leading one, stemming from the interactions with the sea. So that would mean that CO2 is continuing to rise slightly as the Earth continues to move out of the Little Ice Age of about 1600 - 1800; and it also means that this number is trivial and has no predictive value whatsoever.
* when I say there is no demonstrated real world correlation, I mean that all the "studies" claiming that there is are computer projections. There are no actual temperature data studies that show such a thing.

Between 1827 and 1829, Nicolas de Saussure conducted no less than 225 attempts to measure atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations in the vicinity of Geneva. As these results are the most precise measurements undertaken so far, its results shall be listed in the following
In the village of Chambésy [north of Geneva]…on a dry, spacious meadow with loam soil some 16m above Lake Geneva [i.e., about 388m above sea level], the average carbon dioxide levels of the air deriving from 104 measurements taken 4 feet above the ground and at all day- and night-times = 4.15 [units per unit of] vol. per 10,000 [units per unit of] vol. air. Max. = 5.74, min. = 3.15. Separation of daytime from nighttime measurements revealed that carbon dioxide levels are lower during the day than at night. Daytime mean = 3.38, max. = 5.4, min. 3.15; nighttime mean = 4.32, max. = 5.74, min. = 3.21. Furthermore, around noon, [carbon dioxide] concentration was observed to be lower when the wind was not blowing strongly, as opposed to stronger winds; in the case of the former, the average [carbon dioxide concentration] was = 3.76, in the case of the latter, the average was = 3.98.

The world has gone quite haywire due to letting "experts" tell us what to do all the time.
Once upon a time, the french had this idea that you could chop off some heads, and the world would be a better place. It didn't quite work out that way, but I think they had the right idea in mind, just the wrong execution of it.

Ice suspended in water is frozen water. Should it melt there will be no change in sea level. You'd have to melt a shit ton of ice on land to increase sea level. So far, ice on Antarctica hasn't melted. Get this, Antarctica ice is growing not melting.
Posted by: pudinhead
Not only that, but if somehow the antarctic ice cap were to melt, the hundreds of billions of tons of ice being removed from the continent would cause the landmass to rise, offsetting the increase in oceanic water.

Hmm. That is a good point. Ice is less dense than water, in that it displaces less than its own volume since it floats. I wonder, does the part that rises out of the water offset the increased volume?

I was pondering that.
But, on the other hand, take an iceberg. As they say 90% of that is underwater. As it probably doesn't expand by 10%, probably having the whole thing melted at sea-level will expand the volume of water a bit.

Sadly, the real damage has already been done. Norway has already sequestered hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 and injected it into the empty oil wells in the North Sea. The same people who believe "The Butterfly Effect" is real simultaneously lecture that removing hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 from the natural environment is a victory for the environment.
Now let's all watch as trees across the planet die and crop yeilds drop from the lack of CO2, and the greens tell us it is climate change and industrialiation.

During the Jurassic Period, it is estimated that CO2 levels were about 2000 ppm, average temperatures were about 9 degrees warmer than now, there were no ice caps, and the Earth's biosphere (sum total of all life on the planet) was at least twice the total mass than it is today.
The more CO2, and the higher the temperature (although I said above, I believe it is a lagging indicator) the better Life itself does.

Come back in a couple of hours and see whether the water level has changed.

EPA plans to ignore science, stop regulating greenhouse gases. "Largest deregulatory action" in the history of US would be one of the unhealthiest.
The EPA, like vaccines, appears to be a victim of its own success. It was formed in an era where our rivers were routinely catching on fire. Flammable water is a lot easier to point at as a problem than 1.5 degrees of temperature change over 80 years which is also catastrophic but not as acutely so.
People just find new singular issues to not vote for Dems. Right now, it’s Israel/Palestine. So they just let the GOP do worse, because the Dem choice isn’t perfect.
The GOP is a majority of old men, old men that know their days are limited. They don't care what happens tomorrow just as long as they benefit today.
Stop trying to ascribe logic and reason to Maga arguments. There is none. They are *literally* the party of emotion over reason. Feelings over fact. Insanity instead of logic. Hurting themselves is worth it if it "owns the libs".
A lot of them are fossil fuel fetishists. They think digging up and burning fossil fuels is manly.

It's a bulls*** question. I never said anything about a natural rate. All I said was that it has demonstrably risen from the baseline.
Posted by: Archimedes at August 01, 2025 11:37 AM
But it's a nugatory point. Rising temperatures are not driven by tiny increases in a trace gas.
And even if it could, it is near historic lows on a geologic scale.

As much as I love this - the problem is that there's literally nothing to be done about them putting it back in place when they're eventually re-elected. Which is why - unless we get 60 votes in the Senate with some balls to actually take decisive action on energy security - they'll just reverse this finding the next time a Democrat administration takes over.

The resource conflicts are already starting in some regions. Really depends on how quickly we can pivot on energy policy and adaptation measures. Gonna be a defining issue for the next few decades.

You could get some affect on sea level if ice that is on land in, say Antarctica, shelved into the sea. Even if the Iceberg is the size of Rhode Island and were a kilometer thick, that’s still not much spread over the whole of the oceans. The oceans cover roughly 7/10 of the planet.

The only time the climate on the earth will stop changing is on or about the heat death of the universe in a couple of quadrillion years.
Ackshully... assuming that the stellar astrophysicists understand things correctly, Earth's climate will stop changing in about 5B years as the Sun starts to die and expands to engulf the Earth's orbit.

You’d think at some point, after decades of doom predictions not coming true these idiots would figure out it’s a scam.
It's why they like to use teenagers, who aren't aware that there have been predictions of ecological doom for more than half a century.
I have a science fiction novel, "The Sheep Look Up", which details the ecological collapse of the United States.
It was written in 1973.

During the last hour that the Committee spent screaming at each other in the upper floor of the Hotel de Ville about who's fault it was and how to recover their power, Robespierre had half his jaw shot off, either from a botched suicide or being shot by one of the other members, perhaps Saint-Just. When they were captured, Robespierre was left on a table over night with his face wrapped in a bandanna on the theory that they were going to execute him in the morning why bother? He moaned all the way to the guillotine and the only reaction he had prior to his execution was when the bandanna which had stuck to the wound through clotted blood was stripped from his face.

I guess Powell is truly screwed now. There is essentially no inflation. PPI was down last month. Job revisions (interesting how May's first adjustments were up, and now they are down) show small positive growth only. Better than Biden, but not by much. He did a cut to try and help Biden/Harris before the election.
The Fed is going to be too late again because they refuse to follow economics instead of political allegiances.

"In a greenhouse, if CO2 is raised to 800 ppm, plant production doubles. That’s over twice the level that is allegedly setting the earth on fire and killing us."
Some go a little higher, but above that the cost of producing the CO2 outweighs the benefits. Not sure how high would actually be "damaging", but I think it is like 10X higher, maybe more.

The Sheep Look Up summary;
The novel takes place in a very near future United States, not dated explicitly but clearly as near as the late 1970s.[note 1] Human activities have resulted in wholesale destruction of the environment.
Water pollution is so severe that "don't drink" notices are frequently issued, water taps in public toilets are coin-operated and household water filters are popular. Air pollution has reached the point that people in urban areas cannot go outside without "filtermasks". Such fumes left behind by aircraft cause air sickness in planes trailing behind. California is blanketed by a thick layer of smog that prevents the sun from shining through. Acid rain forces people to cover themselves in plastic so that their clothes are not ruined. The sea has become so polluted and the beaches so strewn with garbage that Americans now vacation in the mountains. Environmentally-minded people drive electric or "steam cars" with clean exhaust, but these in turn become target of their haters.

Arbitrarily? I think not. I picked 1800 because that was before the Industrial Revolution. I cited the numbers most commonly used (roughly 280 ppm) because they're based on mass spec analysis of ice cores and other sources. I was then told that such numbers are unreliable, and that only numbers derived since 1958 can be used, so I then used those numbers, and they were much lower than the numbers we see today.

Sadly, the real damage has already been done. Norway has already sequestered hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 and injected it into the empty oil wells in the North Sea. The same people who believe "The Butterfly Effect" is real simultaneously lecture that removing hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 from the natural environment is a victory for the environment.
Now let's all watch as trees across the planet die and crop yeilds drop from the lack of CO2, and the greens tell us it is climate change and industrialiation.
Posted by: Darth Chipmunk at August 01, 2025 11:10 AM (m0WlR)
The earth itself sequesters carbon the time. Coal and limestone are sequestered carbon. CO2 can be used as a miscible flood to help extract the last bit of oil from a reservoir. And that oil, when burned, replaces the CO2 used to extract it.

My understanding of the current hypothesis is that fungi had not evolved yet so there was nothing to decompose all that plant matter.
No fungus but plenty of higher level plant/animal life? How do they square that?

In a way it did. During the last hour that the Committee spent screaming at each other in the upper floor of the Hotel de Ville about who's fault it was and how to recover their power, Robespierre had half his jaw shot off, either from a botched suicide or being shot by one of the other members, perhaps Saint-Just. When they were captured, Robespierre was left on a table over night with his face wrapped in a bandanna on the theory that they were going to execute him in the morning why bother? He moaned all the way to the guillotine and the only reaction he had prior to his execution was when the bandanna which had stuck to the wound through clotted blood was stripped from his face.

"Actually, water takes up more volume as ice."
Depends on the temperature.
The true miracle of water (that was one of the things that started me to belive in a Grand Desiner) is that waters maximum density is highest at 3 deg. C. Unlike other liquids it starts to expand as if approaches the freezing point.
This is why ice float on rivers and lakes allowing fish and other aquatic life to survive during the winter.

Apparently what the junta in Ukraine wants now, is to convince leaders of the West to give them more weapons. So they gotta do what they can to suggest they're not being destroyed on the battlefield.
Yes, they can still kill Russians. War is bloody.
What's going to happen though, is the spigot stays turned off, they stop having any capacity to fight back, and Russia goes in and slaughters Zelensky and anyone loyal to him.
There isn't going to be a negotiated settlement.

“Nigel chaired the roundtable and, during his introductory speech, happened to comment on the fact that our countries are founded on Judeo-Christian values,” said one source, adding: “Rep. Raskin started by disagreeing that the US had been founded on Judeo-Christian values at all, and then commenced a shouting tirade about Donald Trump’s alleged lack of regard for free speech, which bore absolutely no relation to anything the speakers had said.”“Nigel repeatedly tried to tell him that we weren’t there to talk about Donald Trump, we were there to talk about ‘the impact of this on the freedom of the ordinary man and woman’. To this, Rep. Raskin just continued his tirade while shouting ‘you trying to shut me down shows how much respect you have for freedom of speech’, while Rep. Swalwell (whose only notable contribution to the event thus far had been loudly speaking to Rep. Raskin while one of the UK speakers had been giving their speech) egged him on and laughed.”

The angular momentum of the water in Lake Missoula, and in most reservoir is greater than that of an equal amount of water in the ocean, because higher. When the lake drained out to the ocean, some of that angular momentum would be transferred to a tiny change in the earth's rotation. Possibly measurable, but not significant to life on Earth.

So Epstein was at Mar A lago hobnobbing with the rich.
But was he really there because some of those rich peoples kids had jobs there for pocket money?
Who did Epstein blame for calling the FDLE (Floridas FBI) on what was happening at his house?
Trump

Why? We’re already dedicating our limited and extremely backlogged thermal turbine manufacturing to gas plants..
Even if, for whatever reason, we wanted to push deep coal.. there is no production capacity, unless we wanted to pivot from gas ones..

Not only that, but if somehow the antarctic ice cap were to melt, the hundreds of billions of tons of ice being removed from the continent would cause the landmass to rise, offsetting the increase in oceanic water.
Posted by: Thomans Paine at August 01, 2025 11:32 AM (Vfq+S)
Ditto for Greenland. Of course neither landmass would bob up like a cork once the ice was removed. It would take a few million years to equilibrate, but equilibrate, it would.

Really guys, stop reacting emotionally and just read what was written.
Posted by: Archimedes at August 01, 2025 12:02 PM
It might help if you took your own advice.
The impetus to reply to every message you think has read you incorrectly is, in fact, an emotional response. We can read what you wrote and when you repeat yourself tirelessly it becomes tiresome.

The Endangerment Clause was the moment when the climate cult started worshiping electric vehicles, and regulators started working to mandate them. July 29, 2025 was the date that Donald Trump and Lee Zeldin put a stop to the madness.
“EPA Releases Proposal to Rescind Obama-Era Endangerment Finding, Regulations that Paved the Way for Electric Vehicle Mandates” [EPA Press Office – 7/29/2025]
So the "Endangerment Clause" is rescinded by the Trump EPA in 2025.
Good.
However, with that SCOTUS ruling still in effect, is there anything to stop a future leftist President from simply ordering his EPA to put the Clause back in place?

Supreme Court case was wrongly decided on whether CO2 is a pollutant. Majority reasoning is that anything that goes into the air is a pollutant.

Interesting regarding Massachusetts v. EPA (2007). Via Grok:
Massachusetts v. EPA (2007) was a 5-4 decision where the Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act and that it must do so unless it provides a reasonable explanation for not acting. The majority opinion, written by Justice Stevens, held that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide fit the Act’s definition of "air pollutants" and that Massachusetts had standing to sue due to harms like rising sea levels from climate change. The dissent, led by Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Scalia, argued the state lacked standing and that the EPA’s discretion was broader.
Your take reflects a view that the decision was politically driven, which aligns with criticisms from some conservative scholars and justices who saw it as judicial overreach. The majority’s mandate for EPA action was contentious, as it effectively pushed the agency to regulate despite its initial reluctance, citing uncertainty about climate science and policy priorities. The dissenters argued this usurped executive discretion and stretched standing doctrine.

Didn’t Al Gore’s movie say Florida would be under water by 2020?
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at August 01, 2025 11:14 AM
Grok:
Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth (2006) warned about climate change impacts, including sea level rise, but did not explicitly claim Florida would be underwater by 2020. The film projected significant sea level rise over decades if greenhouse gas emissions continued unchecked, citing estimates from climate models. For example, it referenced potential rises of 20 feet or more in the long term if major ice sheets like Greenland or Antarctica melted substantially. However, no specific timeline like "Florida underwater by 2020" was stated.
