The Nov. 5 election of President Donald Trump has already sent shockwaves through the climate change fanatic community, with hockey stick grapher Michael Mann calling the U.S. a “failed Democratic Party” after the election results were known. nation,” he declared. The list of actions climate change realists have put together for President Trump to take during his next presidential term is sure to further confuse the climate change hysteria.
A coalition of climate realists and energy independence groups has proposed 10 actions that President Trump should take when he takes office in January. The organizations presenting the agenda are Heartland Institute, E&E Law Institute, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), Truth in Energy and Climate, and the American Energy Association.

First on their list is the rejection of the Paris Agreement by declaring it a treaty.
Findings from the Paris Climate Convention and the extinction crisis. Determines that the Paris Climate Agreement is an appropriate treaty (rather than just an “executive agreement”) requiring Senate approval. Send the treaty to the Senate for advice. This would legally exempt the United States from any obligations under the treaty until it is formally ratified by the Senate. Reversing the Obama/Biden EPA determination that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are a threat to public health and welfare (“endangered certification”).
Any treaty must be approved by a two-thirds majority in the Senate, which currently has a Republican majority. President Trump has already indicated his intention to exclude the country from the deal, as he did during his first term. The group wants to declare the agreement a treaty, making it more difficult for future administrations to use it in policy making.
The next proposal would “repeal all of the Biden administration's anti-coal regulatory measures, promote coal as the preferred method of electricity generation (and) initiate a review of related air quality regulations issued by the EPA.”
Climate change realists also want an end to the war that climate change fanatics have waged against the oil, gas, and coal industries.
Reinstates active federal oil and gas leases on federal lands and offshore, including the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska (NPRA) and Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Lifting a moratorium on offshore drilling in areas that were prohibited by previous presidents. Reversing Biden's moratorium on federal leases for coal mining. Streamline the permitting process for energy production. Ends Biden's moratorium on LNG export terminals.
The group also urges the president to nominate the following people to his cabinet:
Aggressive permitting of new oil and gas pipelines, LNG terminals, and other infrastructure needed for oil, gas, and coal production…Streamlining the permitting process (and) ending all existing federal scientific advisory committees and reconstitute only those committees that are legally necessary. Appoint qualified energy advocates to your board of directors.
They also call for an end to the Biden-era deep state regulatory structures. “End Regulatory Agencies’ Use of Linear Nonthreshold Models (LNT) for Radiation and Chemical Risk Assessments. Reinstate EPA Rules Against the Use of “Secret Science.” Requires laws to prevent federal courts from deferring to regulatory authorities on scientific issues. ”
end the usurpation
Many of the climate realists' proposals involve rolling back the administrative state's unconstitutional assumption of responsibilities that rightfully belong to Congress. For decades, Alphabet agencies have usurped Congress' power in making federal regulations. If the new Trump administration can stem this trend, it will have achieved a major success.
