It is great news as calling CO2 a critical molecule for the Photosynthesis process a pollutant is leftist invention based on bullshit.

Skeptics Win, Endangerment Finding Axed – Truth Finally Prevails in The Climate Wars

Today is a monumental win for climate skeptics

Today’s decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to remove the Carbon Dioxide Endangerment Finding represents a pivotal shift in America’s approach to climate policy—one rooted in evidence, not ideology. For years, this “finding” has served as the legal justification for an array of costly, far-reaching regulations targeting everything from our nation’s power plants to the cars we drive and the energy bills we pay. Its removal is a direct response to mounting evidence that the basis for this rule was always more about speculative modeling and political maneuvering than sound science.

Background​

On July 29, 2025, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a report entitled A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate, evaluating existing peer-reviewed literature and government data on climate impacts of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions and providing a critical assessment of the conventional narrative on climate change.

Among the key findings, the report concludes that carbon dioxide (CO2) -induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation strategies could be more harmful than beneficial. Additionally, the report finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays.

The report was developed by the 2025 Climate Working Group, a group of five independent scientists assembled by Energy Secretary Chris Wright with diverse expertise in physical science, economics, climate science and academic research.

Summary​

This report:

• Reviews scientific certainties and uncertainties in how anthropogenic emissions of CO2 and other GHGs have affected, or will affect, the Nation’s climate, extreme weather events, and metrics of societal well-being.
• 
  
• Assesses the near-term impacts of elevated concentrations of CO2, including enhanced plant growth and reduced ocean alkalinity.
• 
  
• Evaluates data and projections regarding long-term impacts of elevated concentrations of CO2, including estimates of future warming.
• 
  
• Finds that claims of increased frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts are not supported by U.S. historical data.
• 
  
• Asserts that CO2-induced warming appears to be less damaging economically than commonly believed, and that aggressive mitigation policies could prove more detrimental than beneficial.
• 
  
• Finds that U.S. policy actions are expected to have undetectably small direct impacts on the global climate and any effects will emerge only with long delays.

Not just US policies.....ALL polices from the west won't affect anthropogenec Goebbels warming (as though it existed at all), because China and India continue pumping the (alleged) GHGs into the atmosphere at an increasing pace.

The Glow-Ball commie Warmies lost the war when Climategate caused the Warmies to Burn Out!

So when can I expect a Land Rover IJ-70 that Americans can't get to be available?

 

[luiza]

But you miss the point that the damage has now been done among the Stupid and Gullible .

These believers are Normies and Deniers and it is a hundred times harder to awaken people from Mind Control than it is to entrain them initially .

They will never understand that the bulk of Climate Change is caused by Sun and Galaxy Centre activity .

Most will even deny the existence of Chem Trails as an Idiot's way of denying the terrible influences the Sun's force field has over us .

Trump EPA seeks to repeal finding that carbon dioxide emissions threaten public health

The Trump administration is seeking to repeal a landmark finding that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public health, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.

“This has been referred to as basically driving a dagger into the heart of the climate change religion,” EPA administrator Lee Zeldin told the conservative “Ruthless Podcast.” “Repealing it will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America,” Zeldin said

The EPA under the Obama administration issued an endangerment finding in 2009 that carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases “threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations.”

The finding is the basis for Clean Air Act regulations aimed at combating climate change by limiting vehicle and power plant emissions.

My first reaction was no way this succeeds. But who or what will stop it? Not Congress. Not the courts. Not scientific evidence. This is far worse than anything I have contemplated. The most reckless thing that could be dreamed up for the future of the coming generations.

Krakatoa released 25 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

It was 1883. It had nothing to do with my Suburban.

If lefties are so concerned about CO2, why do they clear out trees for solar panel farms? Why do they ignore forest maintenance and allow wildfires?

Manmade Global Warming is a grift. Give the Dems all your money and they will stop the earth from changing.

Krakatoa released 25 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

We now release 37 billion tons of Co2 into the atmosphere -- every year.

If lefties are so concerned about CO2, why do they clear out trees for solar panel farms?

Probably because they're somewhat ignorant about the cost/benefit of renewables, but that doesn't invalidate their concerns about emissions.

Why do they ignore forest maintenance and allow wildfires?

Yeah, let's all rake the forest floors, shall we? LMAO

 

[Old Rocks]

The effects that GHG's have on the atmosphere was proven scientifically in 1858, both in the US by Foote and in England by Tyndall. All the flap-yap here by denialists does not affect the fact that we are creating a real bad situation for ourselves by continuing to emit GHG's one bit. But the dummkopf's will continue to lie and mislead on this topic as they cannot disentangle their insane politics from their lack of perception of science.

There's just no way to know for sure how their minds work.

Here's one possibility, I guess. Maybe they're trying to speed things up:

About four-in-ten U.S. adults believe humanity is ‘living in the end times’

 

[SeaMajor7]

Science + Politics =

CO2 is vital for life, and is NOT a driver of climate, it's an IDICATOR of climatic conditions.
WATER VAPOR is the #1 GREENHOUSE GAS.
Normal critical thinking people are SICK of this Marxist pseudoscience from the demented LEFT that is only used for POWER AND CONTROL.
ENOUGH ALREADY, GTFOH!!!!

CO2 is plant food you ******* disingenuous POS.
