NY Times Is Upset Trump Will Have Enormous Power Over Climate (scam) Action

I’ve been told that elections have consequences

Trump Will Have Enormous Power Over Climate Action. Here’s Why.

Why? Because he’s president is my guess

Walking away from treaties. Redrawing the boundaries of national monuments. Repealing pollution regulations.

As Coral Davenport and Lisa Friedman reported, when Donald Trump returns to the White House next month, he is expected to unleash a series of executive actions and other moves that will radically overhaul America’s approach to energy, the environment and climate.

Shockingly, people knew this when they voted for him. A lot of people voted for him to do exactly this. Why can’t Warmists practice what they preach and leave the rest of us alone.

Some of the moves have been well telegraphed. Trump intends to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord, as he did during his first term. He is also likely to open up lands in the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments to drilling and mining. And he is planning to repeal parts of the Inflation Reduction Act that benefit electric vehicles.

I can see Trump leaving the tax rebates alone, but, taking a chainsaw to the EV mandate. He’s said it many times: if you want one, get one. Government should not force you to get one.

Trump is able to make all of these changes because, in a government designed to have checks and balances, modern-day presidents have an unusual amount of autonomy to shape climate and energy policy.

Suddenly the NY Times is not happy with the Unilateral President. They were constantly blowing a gasket over this when Bush43 was president, but, had no problem when Obama and Biden were in office. Perhaps Biden shouldn’t have gone so far in his use of executive power that allows Trump to roll it back.

During Trump’s first term, he used executive actions to undo much of President Barack Obama’s climate work. President Biden then followed suit, using executive actions to reinstate some Obama policies.

This tit-for-tat exchange has left the United States with a scattershot approach to climate policy during a decade when the effects of global warming have become increasingly clear.

Hopefully Trump will buckle down and forget about all the stuff he did in his first term and just focus on getting things done, like crushing the climate cult in the federal government.
