CO2 Coalition Comment #2 and Trump at the UN

CO₂ Coalition's 2nd Comment on Endangerment Finding

On September 22, the CO₂ Coalition filed its second comment in support of the proposed repeal of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2009 Endangerment Finding that identified carbon dioxide as a pollutant. For 25 years, this ruling allowed overzealous regulators to impose freedom-restricting limits on everything from dishwashers to ceiling fans to vehicles and served to increase electricity costs by encouraging closures of economical coal-fired power plants.

The cover letter to EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin read in part:

In our scientific opinion, the scientific underpinnings of the Endangerment Finding are fatally flawed science, for two key reasons.

· It fails to consider contradictory science.

· It is not based on science; it is based on unscientific evidence.

Thus, there is no scientific basis for the Endangerment Finding that greenhouse gases will endanger the public health and welfare. Furthermore, it endangers the public health and welfare itself.

Accordingly, it should be repealed ASAP.

The Coalition’s comment is based on a paper by Drs. Richard Lindzen and William Happer, professor emeriti at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton University, respectively.

Trump Pulls No Punches in UN Climate Address

Speaking at the United Nations last week, President Donald Trump blistered the leaders of the western world for buying into "the greatest con job ever perpetuated on the world."

Our friends at the Heartland Institute provided this clip of the highlights of his talk.

Notable quotes from the president’s speech are listed below:

If you don't get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail.
In the U.S., we still have radicalized environmentalists ... they want to kill all the cows.
The ‘carbon footprint’ is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions, and they’re heading down a path of total destruction.
You need strong borders and traditional energy sources if you are going to be great again.
