It’s hard to overstate just how badly America went to hell in a handbasket during Barack Obama’s presidency. Right out of the gate in 2009, after Obama’s swearing-in ceremony, the entire administration was like, “We’re doing communism now. Elections have consequences!” One of the most destructive policies that Obama was able to pull off happened at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA decided that it had unilateral authority to regulate something called “greenhouse gases.” This was one of the most destructive and expensive policies that Americans have ever had to put up with.
We say “was” in the past tense because President Trump’s EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is about to reverse the entire policy. It’s about time! Since the EPA granted itself god-like powers to rule over our entire energy-based economy, federal and state governments have blown through multiple trillions of dollars to fight a problem that never existed in the first place.
The EPA was sued by environmentalist wacko groups. The lawsuit ended up in front of the Supreme Court. The high court ruled 5-4 that the scientific “experts” who believed in global warming trumped the laws written by the US Congress. The opinion of the “experts,” which was that we were all going to die from global warming unless we ACT IMMEDIATELY, thus became the law of the land.
The EPA issued an “endangerment finding” that so-called “greenhouse gases” must be stopped. No cost would be too high! Western civilization must be completely shut down to save the weather!
Have you ever looked into where the theory of global warming or climate change or whatever they’re calling it these days came from?
Back in the 1960s, there was a Biology professor at Stanford University named Paul Ehrlich. Professor Ehrlich was always coming up with wacky conspiracy theories about how everyone on Earth was going to die very soon in some cataclysmic event and it was all America’s fault. The New York Times loved him.
During an interview in 1969, Ehrlich predicted that everyone would die “in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.” The credulous New York Times failed to notice that the person predicting this weather apocalypse was a biologist.
That was the genesis of the global warming hoax. Obviously, we didn’t all die in a cloud of blue steam before 1989. But bad communist scientific theories never truly die.
Everyone knew that the climate doomers’ predictions were bonkers. For the next 40 years, the only people who believed in the nutty theory of global warming were the Unabomber, Al Gore, and government-employed women who don’t shave their pits. Unfortunately, those women made up the bulk of the appointed positions inside Barack Obama’s administration.
We’ve been living with the consequences of giving those hairy-pitted harridans unlimited power to regulate entire industries for the past 16 years. Everything that defines modern convenience since then has gotten worse and more expensive.
Our gas-powered cars suck. “This three-cylinder may only have 137 horses under the hood, but it’s GREAT for the weather!”
You have to run a load of dishes twice to get the dishes clean. Our hot water heaters don’t provide “hot” water, so clothes never get fully clean and you can’t take a real hot shower. Don’t get me started on the “low water usage” toilets that are mandatory in many states. Have you checked the price of electric lawnmowers in California lately?
Before Obama, things were better. And they’re about to get better again, very soon.
When Lee Zeldin reverses the EPA “endangerment finding” in a few days, we already know what will happen. The climate doomer groups will sue to try to stop him.
The liberals don’t have a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court this time. The current court already ruled 6-3 in the Chevron decision that regulatory agencies are not allowed to exercise more power than Congress or the President. This will be another 6-3 decision, and then it will be impossible for liberals to turn the climate doom switch back on again.
Can you imagine? We’ll have cheap energy again. Americans will be able to afford to run their air conditioner and to heat their homes in the winter. Clean clothes. Hot showers. This is going to be like paradise for the Zoomers who aren’t old enough to remember life as far back as 2008.
The hairy-pitted broads will be upset, but who cares? The Golden Age is here!
