Kill it – Where is Watt?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2009 hazard discovery found that carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) are allegedly harmful pollutants, have been the cornerstone of wrong climate regulation and a barrier to economic growth and deprivation to make a living. All the results of rulemaking put ideology ahead of science.

The EPA has the right to impose comprehensive restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions from various human activities, and the EPA is free to impose unreasonable requirements on power generation, transportation, manufacturing and agriculture only to enumerate more outstanding goals. Under the leadership of Obama and Biden administrations₂ Emissions are the focus, especially fossil fuels, especially coal, are hammered by this regulatory Cudgel.

Over the past decade, regulations have led to the closure of more than 40% of coal-fired power plants in the country, one of the most economical and reliable generators for electricity. Unemployment has hit thousands of factory workers, coal miners and supportive employees, and electricity prices and the risk of power outages are increasing.

Hazard Discovery is a Response to the Supreme Court's 2007 ruling Massachusetts v. EPAruled that if the EPA endangers the public, the EPA has the right to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. Based on flawed analysis, the Obama administration’s EPA concluded that there was such a threat, laying the foundation for some of the agency’s most conclusive regulations.

Nationwide, clean energy programs, affordable clean energy rules and strict vehicle emission standards are all due to hazard discovery.

Countries pointed out that the regulation was intended to justify their climate initiatives. California, for example, has defended its exemption with stricter vehicle emission standards, while Northeastern states rely on it to maintain the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) of Cap and Trade Programs.

Under President Biden, the EPA doubled down, imposing stricter regulations on power plants and cars last year with the goal of achieving “net zero emissions” by 2050. It is worth noting that critics say that feasible technologies that meet power plant emission restrictions do not exist.

But the EPA ignores the feasibility of the technical “solution”. Hazard discovery ignores the complexity of climate dynamics – from solar cycles to clouds to ocean currents – computer models that rely on poor science, including empirical data, have proven to be wrong. Even the quality of global temperature records is too poor to support this rule. Although proponents of the rule often mention, no link between warming and increased weather has been found. In fact, the weather keeps getting worse as time goes by.

Of all the absurdity of rules, none of them are greater than CO's statement₂ It is a catastrophic pollutant that overheats the earth. More than a century of recognized science has identified the warming potential of CO₂ It decreases with the increase of atmospheric concentration. This phenomenon of reducing returns means even double the amount of CO₂ From current levels, there will only be a moderate effect on temperature.

“Models to predict doom from CO₂ Warming has always been overestimated, but the EPA continues to rely on them to justify its regulations.

EPA also cannot solve the benefits of Co₂. NASA affirms that higher natural gas improves plant growth and agricultural productivity through the fertilization of CO₂, a factor in the greening of the earth over the past few decades. This greatly improves global food security.

EPA refreshes the huge contribution of hydrocarbons to allow humanity to increase tenfold over the past 250 years through industrialization and modern agriculture. Coal, as well as oil and gas, is crucial to the economic development of poor countries and the support of people.

President Trump's EPA administrator Lee Zeldin was given a 30-day recommendation to suggest the hazard findings of the “legality and persistent applicability” of the rules, and the clock is ticking.

Given the scientific shortcomings of the EPA’s “greenhouse” rules, the time for abolition is over. The EPA should admit that the two pounds of Co₂ that everyone exhales every day is not a threat to the public and should not be treated like this.

This will suppress the pseudoscience of fearers and laws from the United Nations and anti-human activists, and allow for a return to common sense and scientific integrity that is compatible with a free society.
