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!

What there's been is 4.5 billion years of wildly oscillating and often violent geologic evolution and climate disequilibrium owing to manifold natural causes including:

Plate tectonics which have sometimes violently impacted climate systems, especially the assembly and breakup of Pangaea between 300 million and 175 million years ago and the continuous drift of the present day continents thereafter.

Periodic asteroid bombardments.

The 100,000-year cycles of the earth's orbital eccentricity (it gets colder when it's at maximum elongation).

The 41,000-year cycles of the earth tilt on its axis, which oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees and thereby impacts the level of solar intake.

The wobble or precession of the earth's rotation which impacts climate over the course of its 26,000-year cycles.

The recent 150,000-year glaciation and inter-glacial warming cycles.

The 1,500-year sunspot cycles, where earth temperatures fall materially during solar minimums like the Maunder Minimum of 1645-1715, which occurred at the extreme of the LIA when sunspot activity virtually ceased.

The natural climate change now underway is therefore the pro...
