P.S. I forgot to mention the settled science part.
How much worse would life be if we just shitcanned the EPA?
No doubt Congress will then brag about solving the bottlenecks at airports caused by their stupid TSA make work program.
How about he and the Quot - Unquote Climate Change Proselytizers pledge and commit to - SHUT UP!
You want to save the planet?
Regulate the emissions from politicians.
I’m sure the hefty fines the airlines will pay in order to stay in business, known as Federal Government Shake Downs, will keep the planet from warming. The Founders would be so disgusted that we sheep put up with this extortion by unelected hacks. I pray that every agency not in place in 1950 will be abolished by President Trump, because they are killing our country.
When DJT, gets in to be President. 1st thing he needs to do, is get rid of the EPA!
I’m old enough to remember when the sole power of the EPA was to create Woodsy the Owl commercials.
An important target is popular mobility. Controllers are disconcerted by the thought that their subjects can just change location without notice or permission.
Killing commerce is the goal.
Do not trust the EPA.
Period.
The EPA...it needs killin.
People think that electric cars are Zero Emissions, so lets convert airliners into a gliders so they can be Zero Emissions too. Of course, the tow aircraft is going to be burning fuel like crazy, but that’s activism for another day. For now, lets celebrate the Zero Emission airliner. Yay for Progressivism! /s
too funny.
Well, in about 5 months, the EPA can go #### itself and the people working there can look for new REAL jobs.
We are pretty far gone.
In normal times, the federales would have to propose a Constitutional Amendment in order to add to Article I Section 8 of what the people and the states permit it to do.
I don’t know why “they” just don’t do the obvious. Simply ban non-essential travel. (Including ground vehicles.)
Don’t fly to visit the grandchildren — or drive. Stay home.
Go to work in a computer-organized car pool, and only fly for business purposes. “Regulated and Approved” business travel, of course. Perhaps a licensing and logging computerized system, run by a new GovDome agency.
We could call it The Travel Facilitation and Control Agency.
Attempts at unlicensed, unreported, unpermitted travel would be dealt with harshly.
The quaint but unnecessary tradition of “Vacation” would, of course, be banned. Everyone should relax and recreate either at home, or at nearby governmental recreation facilities.
/sarc off (...for the humor challenged.)

The most effective way to reduce emissions would be to require the airplanes to shut off their engines below 10,000 feet.
Ground Air Force One before anything else.
Actually, those old, more polluting airliners are headed for the scrapyard like Mojave Airport, Victorville Airport, and Pinal Airpark near Marana, AZ. Mostly because they’re just old, period. Besides, this law will ensure Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, and Embraer will be building and selling new planes to the airlines (those old planes’ parts can be melted down and used to build new planes).
