EPA boss Lee Zeldin’s push to rescind the White House’s 2009 finding on greenhouse gases marks another great milestone on President Trump’s climate course correction.
But it’s long past time for the entire West to admit it: The whole anti-carbon crusade declared in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement has proved a disaster — wrecking economies and worsening lives without making a real difference on climate change.
Here at home, the 2009 (Obama-era) “finding” declared that greenhouse gases endanger public health, and so provided a legal pretext for destructive “climate agenda” mandates on everything from power plants to cars to gas stoves.
Rescinding that finding will start to roll back those diktats, boosting the economy and restoring Americans’ freedom to choose the products — and lifestyles — they want.
Zeldin’s move follows President Trump’s Day 1 withdrawal from the Paris Accord (again).
And on Monday, Trump said he’d undo the Biden cancellation of the the Keystone XL pipeline, vowing an easy approval process.
Sanity has clearly returned to DC.
Think about it: Despite trillions spent in the name of curbing greenhouse-gas output, global emissions have increased by about 6% since the deal was inked.
Blame China and India for much of that. From 2015 to 2023, India’s per-capita greenhouse-gas emissions jumped 20%; China’s, by about 15% (133% since 2000).
Beijing is still building coal-fired power plants (the worst source for carbon emissions) with abandon: In 2024, per Bloomberg, it began the construction of coal generators with more capacity than in any other of the prior 10 years.

Are we really now under 6 years left ?
I’m scared
Still hate that term “The West”. Invented by leftists from a cold war perspective.
And as far as the left goes, they never admit anything. The Paris Accords were deliberate, not a “mistake” made in any kind of good faith.
BTTT
Europe is very different from America.
However, Canada is quite similar to Europe.
What I was saying is how the left had the homogenization of all of what they call “The West” in mind. (Under socialism, of course. A bit too like unto Orwell’s Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia.)
If you don’t believe it just ask disgraceful j f’n kerry.
So far, only America is breaking the mold.
The Paris Accord , The Moron or is it the Crook Accord
These idiots really thought they could replace all ICE vehicles with EVs ,LOL
Energy runs industry.
Whatever energy we don’t produce, China puts up a coal fired plant, and steals our industry, cash and future.
Stupid.
I notice that the NY Post is still referring to “greenhouse gases” and implying that carbon emissions are bad.
Those of us with more than 2 functioning brain cells saw the whole climate thing/green new deal as a scam from the get go. Now those who for whatever reason decided to follow that disastrous Paris path WILL NEVER ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG. They have too much ego and reputation tied up in it. The only way to kill it is bring in someone like Trump who was never part of it to start with.
The Paris Accord is a globalist, socialist tool to tie the world, and especially America, to their destructive agenda.
What is the origin event for the “only 5.91 years left”?
The entire planet will be destroyed. We’re doomed.

Thanks. I thought it was AOC but was unsure.
Specifically, wild fires and increased volcanic activities......
