#1 EPA had no business making its CO2 Endangerment Finding. Congress was the appropriate forum to discuss and legislate such matters, but it has been AWOL for many years now. Not so much "junk science" as failure of the legislature to act.

#2 Trump is 'remaking' America in a way George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden didn't.

#3 One guy can do only so much against that many corrupt clowns. Getting the CO2 thing reversed would be very helpful. The only true reform would be to weld the doors shut.

While we can likely agree that the EPA has accomplished or addressed many needed, legitimate issues.

It, like any Federal Agency, has been seriously used and abused by too many for political & personal $$$$ agendas.

E.g. Al Gore, cities with pre-80's dump sites all collecting
$$Millions and doing little, or nothing but putting a % of the $$$ in some pockets, all quickly comes to mind.

BTW: Remember when all the scenic coastal properties were being sold off below market price, because the land was going to be underwater in 10 years? Interesting to note who(m) were purchasing the properties and later flipping them. (Just just a state's GIS/property Tax Database)

#6 According to Wikipedia:
"By mole fraction (i.e., by quantity of molecules), dry air contains 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other trace gases"

#7 Seeking, environmentalists usually cite the proportion of CO2 as "400 parts per million", rather than 0.04%, because many people are innumerate. The 400 sounds scarier than the percent.

#8 Their End Game:

Humans are the Carbon they wanted to remove, control, and regulate.
