U.S. set for 'battle royale' as Trump admin takes aim at carbon dioxide regulations
President Trump's efforts to rollback restrictive carbon dioxide regulations in the United States are set to kick off a “battle royale” between the administration and climate fanatics, says International Climate Science Coalition executive director Tom Harris.
In late July, President Donald Trump's administration, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said it plans to rescind a 2009 declaration that branded carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases a threat to public health.
The “endangerment finding” is the key piece of legislation that underpins a number of climate regulations and could lead to the unravelling of the most stringent of so-called green energy policies.
On last week's episode of The Gunn Show, executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition Tom Harris joined Sheila Gunn Reid, where he said this action is likely to kick off a legal “battle royale” between the Trump administration and radical environmentalists.
Without this legislation, “We don't see an increase in tornados, hurricanes, floods, droughts,” Tom said. Nevertheless, “we're going to see a battle royale basically erupting in the U.S. over this issue,” he added.
While the EPA is currently taking public feedback on the matter, a release of its final regulation is anticipated by the end of 2025 — “and then the lawsuits begin,” explained Tom.
Given either side will appeal the eventual ruling, the issue will almost certainly find itself in the Supreme Court, Tom said.
“Understand how significant it is,” he continued. “The endangerment finding is responsible for a trillion dollars of regulations, and $54 billion a year is what they'll save.”

Recently, on a certain website I visit, someone complained that a pair of satellites used for monitoring CO2 are about to be shut down. His contention was that it was done deliberately to hide just how bad we’re strangling on all that carbon dioxide.
I suggested that, perhaps, those satellites were being taken out of action because they demonstrated that CO2 isn’t a factor in “climate change” and were, therefore, a drain on government resources.
Well, waddya know: a few people went berserk, calling me a “denier” (even though I never expressed my view on the matter) and that there was “overwhelming” evidence for that “climate change” was happening because of all the scientific papers were written about it. (Never mind that much of that “research” may well have been financed by parties that have a stake in maintaining this belief and that one has to play nice with them in order to get funding.)
My response to all that on-line hooting and hollering was to do nothing but ignore them. Arguing wouldn’t have solved anything and it wouldn’t have helped my reputation. -
