Climate Depot’s Marc Morano comments: “President Trump delivered to the UN a speech that will go down in history as the most powerful, honest, and accurate climate speech ever given by a world leader. Trump’s speech –delivered face-to-face to a stunned UN General Assembly — was awesome — historically awesome! Trump eloquently mocked UN climate tipping points and the climate catastrophes that never happened.

Trump hit every central tenet of the climate movement, from failed doomsday predictions, to the ‘green scam’ to the ‘hoax’ of ‘carbon footprints,’ to past warnings about global cooling, to how ‘the radicalized environmentalists’ want to ‘kill all the cows,’ to how Net Zero ‘redistributes manufacturing’ to China.

Trump reached the pinnacle of his speech by summing up climate change as ‘the greatest con job ever perpetuated on the world.’ Historians will look back at Trump’s climate masterstroke as heralding the long-overdue end of the UN/Gore climate narrative. It was not long ago that most GOP politicians were terrified to challenge ‘climate change’, but now we finally have a U.S. president who is leading the world in beating back the unscientific climate nonsense.”

The full 57 minute speech is here. The 18 minute part dealing with climate and energy can also be found here.

Key Trump quotes to UN: 

“The greatest con job ever perpetuated on the world.”

“If you don’t get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail.”

“The carbon footprint is a hoax made up by people with evil intentions and they are heading down a path of total destruction.”

“In the US we still have radicalized environmentalists … they want to kill all the cows.”

“All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong. They were made by stupid people that have cost their country’s fortunes and given those same countries no chance for success. If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail, and I’m really good at predicting things, you know.

“They actually said during the campaign they had a hat, the best selling hat. ‘Trump was right about everything.’ And I don’t say that in a braggadocious way, but it’s true. I’ve been right about everything. And I’m telling you that if you don’t get away from the green energy scam. Your country is going to fail.”

“The primary effect of these brutal green energy policies has not been to help the environment. But to redistribute manufacturing and industrial activity from developed countries that follow the insane rules that are put down to polluting countries that break the rules and are making a fortune.

European electricity bills are now four to five times more expensive than those in China.

And two to three times higher than the U.S.

All in the name of pretending to stop the global warming hoax.”

The Case for Abolishing the EU Emissions Trading System

For two decades, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has been at the heart of the European Union's climate policy. Yet Samuel Furfari, former senior official at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Energy and emeritus professor of energy geopolitics, argues that the system rests on shaky legal foundations, undermines Europe's competitiveness and has evolved into an expensive political instrument. His conclusion is clear: the EU Emissions Trading System should be abolished.

The Pseudoscience behind Extreme Weather Attribution

Extreme weather attribution studies claim to determine how much human-caused climate change influences individual events such as hurricanes, floods and heatwaves. In this article, Ralph B. Alexander examines the scientific methods behind these studies and questions whether their conclusions are supported by reliable evidence.

Great Barrier Reef escapes UNESCO ‘In Danger’ listing again

UNESCO has once again decided not to place the Great Barrier Reef on its "In Danger" World Heritage List. Yet much of the international coverage continues to focus on climate warnings rather than on the broader picture of coral recovery. In this opinion article, Australian commentator Jo Nova argues that political narratives increasingly overshadow the underlying monitoring data. Drawing on Peter Ridd's analysis of Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) data, she contends that the Great Barrier Reef remains in far better condition than is commonly portrayed.
