Donald Trump isn’t pulling any punches when it comes to the climate hysteria sweeping global politics. For decades, environmental alarmists have been peddling their doomsday predictions, warning of apocalyptic outcomes that, unsurprisingly, never come to fruition. While the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has its flaws, a closer look at its reports reveals a more restrained tone than the panic-inducing headlines suggest. The real culprits behind the fear-mongering? Politicians, activists, and the opportunists profiting off the frenzy, all of whom have mastered the art of scaring the public into submission.
Trump, however, refuses to play along with the charade. If the dire predictions of climate catastrophists were true, we’d already be living in a barren, waterless wasteland. The Arctic would be devoid of ice, polar bears extinct, and the Midwest a desert. Yet none of this has happened. Meanwhile, figures like Paul Ehrlich, who’ve been wrong so many times they should be punchlines, are still given platforms to spout their discredited theories. The grift continues because, for the climate industry, fear equals funding—and it’s proven to be a very lucrative business model.
The real problem isn’t the genuinely concerned environmentalists but the climate scammers who are weaponizing these fears for control and cash. From academics pocketing millions in grants to activists and multinational corporations cashing in on government subsidies, the climate-industrial complex is thriving. Billionaires like Bill Gates invest in absurd schemes to combat cow flatulence or replace real meat with lab-grown alternatives, while entire nations demand reparations from the West for so-called “climate harms.” The Maldives, for example, were supposed to have disappeared underwater decades ago but instead are flourishing as a tourist hotspot. They’ve even built a new airport while suing Western nations for climate payouts. Hypocrisy doesn’t get much richer—or more ironic.
The global elite has turned climate change into its own cash cow, jetting off in private planes to conferences where they discuss how to siphon more tax dollars and exert greater control over national economies. Meanwhile, their misguided policies are wreaking havoc on ordinary people. Germany’s energy prices have soared to the point of deindustrialization, and Norway, frustrated with Europe’s dysfunctional energy policies, is considering cutting itself off from the European grid. These self-inflicted crises disproportionately harm the most vulnerable while giving elites more power to dictate how the rest of us live—all in the name of “saving the planet.”
Trump didn’t dismantle the climate agenda during his first term, but he also didn’t let it dictate his policies. Now, as he prepares for a return to the White House, he’s making it clear that America’s economic revival will be powered by an unleashed energy sector. His strategy to combat inflation hinges on energy abundance, which will drive down costs across the board. While climate crusaders continue selling their snake oil, Trump is doubling down on the idea that a prosperous, energy-independent America is the best antidote to their overreach. The message is clear: the climate scam ends where common sense begins.
