From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Charles Rotter<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As COP29 wrapped up in Baku, it left behind a trail of broken promises, hollow platitudes, and a $300 billion-per-year climate finance pledge that\u2019s already being treated like Monopoly money. For the attendees, this summit was supposed to be a turning point\u2014a global kumbaya to double down on the Paris Agreement and guilt developed nations into more climate cash giveaways. Instead, they woke up to a rude reality: President Donald J. Trump is back, and he\u2019s armed with a cabinet determined to shred the green bureaucratic utopia faster than Greta Thunberg can say, \u201cHow dare you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $300 billion package to \u201chelp\u201d developing nations has been hailed as a win\u2014if you define a win as forcing Western taxpayers to underwrite wind farms in nations where electricity is still considered a luxury. Naturally, the recipients aren\u2019t satisfied. They\u2019re already calling it \u201cwoefully insufficient,\u201d which roughly translates to, \u201cNice start\u2014now double it, and maybe we\u2019ll stop complaining.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the real story isn\u2019t the faux climate unity in Baku; it\u2019s the cataclysmic shift coming out of Washington, D.C. With Trump\u2019s return, the U.S. is poised to leave the Paris Agreement (again), freeze out the global climate aristocracy, and make American energy great again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Paris Agreement: RIP (Again)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Paris Agreement has always been an expensive farce, a symbolic gesture masquerading as a global solution. Its main purpose? To transfer wealth from productive nations to the politically corrupt under the guise of \u201cclimate justice.\u201d Of course, China\u2014the world\u2019s largest emitter\u2014sits pretty with vague promises and no actual obligations. Trump\u2019s exit from this scam is as much common sense as it is a necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump and his new team understand what the COP29 crowd can\u2019t admit: The Paris Agreement was designed to shackle the U.S. economy while letting the real polluters off the hook. It\u2019s nothing more than a glorified wealth redistribution scheme, and the American taxpayer is the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Trump\u2019s Cabinet of Climate Wreckers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If COP29 delegates are sipping antacids with their organic, fair-trade coffee this morning, it\u2019s because Trump\u2019s cabinet picks read like a climate alarmist\u2019s worst nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doug Burgum: Secretary of the Interior<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Burgum\u2019s move to Interior promises a full-throttle return to energy dominance. Forget Biden\u2019s endless federal land drilling moratoriums\u2014Burgum is unlocking American resources faster than climate activists can chain themselves to a bulldozer. The Department of the Interior will no longer be a playground for environmental lawyers; it will become what it was always meant to be\u2014a steward of American land for energy, jobs, and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His first move? Opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, where billions of barrels of oil lie under pristine tundra that activists think is too good for human use. Burgum isn\u2019t here to hug trees\u2014he\u2019s here to power the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Zeldin: EPA Administrator<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s pick of Zeldin to head the EPA is genius. A staunch critic of the administrative state, Zeldin knows that the EPA has been hijacked by ideologues who care more about regulating cow flatulence than addressing real environmental issues. Expect Zeldin to gut the EPA\u2019s endless red tape, dismantle Biden\u2019s climate executive orders, and end the absurd \u201cwaters of the United States\u201d rule that treats mud puddles like the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeldin isn\u2019t here to make friends with European technocrats; he\u2019s here to dismantle their favorite tool of economic sabotage. If COP30 delegates want to weep into their carbon-neutral cocktails, so be it. Zeldin has one message for them: \u201cRegulate your own economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Wright: Fossil Fuels\u2019 Fierce Defender<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Chris Wright\u2019s appointment as Secretary of Energy is a seismic shift in U.S. energy policy. An unapologetic champion of oil, gas, and nuclear power, Wright knows that the foundation of modern civilization isn\u2019t powered by wishful thinking. Forget solar panels that sputter at night or wind turbines that freeze in the cold\u2014Wright\u2019s focus is on what works: affordable, reliable energy that powers America\u2019s industries and homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His first order of business will be dismantling the subsidy gravy train for inefficient renewables, forcing wind and solar to compete on merit rather than handouts. Wright has made it clear: energy policy shouldn\u2019t bankrupt Americans to chase unproven green dreams. Instead, he\u2019ll double down on expanding domestic fossil fuel production, slashing regulations, and reviving nuclear energy to ensure a stable grid and energy independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globally, Wright\u2019s leadership signals that the U.S. is back in the energy game. LNG exports will surge, allies will be strengthened, and adversaries reliant on oil and gas leverage will lose their power. As the climate elite lament his appointment, Wright will be too busy making energy affordable, accessible, and undeniably American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramifications: A Climate Cold War<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The global climate aristocracy is in full meltdown mode. Trump\u2019s America First resurgence will embolden other nations to reassess their commitments to the Paris Agreement. Why should Europe foot the bill for global decarbonization if the U.S. isn\u2019t playing along? China and India, of course, will continue building coal plants while pretending to care. The entire climate house of cards is about to collapse under its own contradictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Domestically, Americans will see an energy renaissance. Expect gas prices to plummet as drilling returns to full force. The war on natural gas? Over. The assault on coal? Done. Nuclear power? Back in the game. The result: jobs, growth, and cheaper energy for everyday Americans. Meanwhile, climate elites will find themselves increasingly ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

COP29: A Comedy of Errors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a moment to appreciate the absurdity of COP29 itself. Delegates from 196 nations spent two weeks lecturing the world on carbon footprints while chartering private jets, dining on caviar, and pushing \u201csolutions\u201d that enrich themselves at everyone else\u2019s expense. They even celebrated a global carbon credit market that\u2019s destined to become the Enron of environmentalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then, just as they were finalizing their grandiose agreements, Trump announced his cabinet picks. It\u2019s almost poetic. The timing couldn\u2019t have been better if it were scripted by a Hollywood screenwriter. While COP29 patted itself on the back, Trump\u2019s America signaled that it has no intention of playing along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Word<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The COP29 agreements will go down as another entry in the annals of climate grift history\u2014a collection of empty promises and unenforceable pledges. Trump\u2019s return, coupled with his America First cabinet, ensures that the U.S. will focus on real priorities: energy independence, economic growth, and putting Americans first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the climate elite, COP29 wasn\u2019t just a failure; it was a funeral. The Paris Agreement is dead. The global climate agenda is on life support. And America? It\u2019s roaring back to life. Sorry, Greta. Sorry, Baku. The adults are back in charge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
