What do Lee Zeldin’s EPA rollbacks mean for Americans?
Lee Zeldin announced the Environmental Protection agency would roll back regulations aimed fighting climate change and pollution.
Regarding the article “Scientists: DOE climate change report lacks merit,” the headline reads that scientists conclude that the Department of Energy report lacks merit (Sept. 3).
The DOE study was written by five people with PhDs who have spent their lifetime working on climate issues. The article makes it very clear that the DOE report is not scientifically based and strongly implies that the DOE PhDs are not scientists. This is not the case.
The issue of whether climate change is a major problem is highly controversial. Currently there are over 2,000 scientists who support the Climate Intelligence (Clintel) Foundation’s assessment that “there is no climate change emergency.”
It is true that all five of the DOE scientists unanimously disagree with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change view. To my knowledge, it is also true that in four years the Biden administration, which hired dozens of climate activists, never once engaged any scientist who had a contrary idea.
Unfortunately, politics in the United States does not currently feature engaging opposing opinions on this subject.
