Institute for Energy Research: ‘From 1970 to 2023, U.S. emissions of six criteria air pollutants declined 78% while GDP grew 321% & energy consumption rose 42%’

From 1970 to 2023, U.S. emissions of six criteria air pollutants declined 78% while GDP grew 321% and energy consumption rose 42%—consistent with the Environmental Kuznets Curve and driven by wealth creation and market incentives rather than central planning. pic.twitter.com/CTXjysyrZi — Institute for Energy Research (@IERenergy) February 3, 2026

UK Guardian: Trump taking ‘drill, baby, drill’ plan to Venezuela ‘terrible’ for climate, experts warn – ‘If oil production goes up, climate change will get worse sooner’

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/06/trump-venezuela-oil-climate-crisis By Dharna Noor and Oliver Milman Excerpt: Donald Trump, by dramatically seizing Nicolás Maduro and claiming dominion over Venezuela’s vast oil reserves, has taken his “drill, baby, drill” mantra global. Achieving the president’s dream of supercharging the country’s oil production would be financially challenging – and if fulfilled, would be “terrible for the climate”, experts say. Trump […]

Europe saves the planet! EU Reaches Deal to Set 90% Emissions Cut Goal for 2040 – ‘Allowing international carbon credits to account for a greater share of emissions reductions’ – ‘Based in science’ & ‘Delivers on the need for climate action’

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-12-09/eu-reaches-tentative-deal-to-set-90-emissions-cut-goal-for-2040 By Ewa Krukowska The European Union clinched a deal to reduce greenhouse gases by 90% through 2040 compared with 1990 levels, a target that seeks to keep the bloc on track to reach net zero by the middle of the century. Representatives of the European Commission, the bloc’s parliament and member states in the EU Council […]

Lomborg on Net Zero failure: ‘Even after trillions spent on EVs, wind, solar, & other subsidies, global fossil fuel emissions continue to rise, driven overwhelmingly by growth in China, India, Africa, & other developing nations’

Western politicians are ignoring a crucial truth about carbon emissions: the West is no longer central to solving climate change. Even after trillions spent on electric cars, wind, solar, and other subsidies, global fossil fuel emissions continue to rise, driven overwhelmingly… pic.twitter.com/JArMlbMTLN — Bjorn Lomborg (@BjornLomborg) November 25, 2025

New Study Suggests Ice Cores Are Wrong….CO2 Levels Were High In Early Holocene – ‘CO2 levels at least equivalent to today’s level of approximately 420 ppm would have been necessary 10,000 years ago’

Holy Mao Zedong! CNN Brown-Noses China as ‘Savior’ of the World from Climate Change – ‘A leader in the global green transition’ – Morano responds: ‘China sent the 2nd largest delegation to the UN climate Summit in Brazil…in order to suck up all of the gullible countries’

Climate Depot founder Marc Morano pointed to a 2012 tweet from Trump in comments to MRC Business, where the then-business mogul stated that “[t]he concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” As Morano summarized in ripping apart McCarthy’s pro-China reporting, “The fact that China wants to be a ‘climate leader’ and sent the second largest delegation to the UN climate Summit in Brazil — proves that Donald Trump’s 2012 tweet was completely accurate!”

Moreover, said Morano, “If the U.S. had not taken a complete U-turn away from the UN’s net-zero policies under Trump, China would have been headed toward global domination of energy, transportation, and mining.” Morano then completely flipped the script on McCarthy:

With Trump’s leadership in rejecting the climate agenda, China loves playing the role of ‘climate hero’ in order to suck up all of the gullible countries that are deluded enough to empower China further.
