Pundits and political pros are offering advice across the board. My suggestions center on the \u201cclimate crisis\u201d and the destructive policies it has justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* First and foremost, withdraw the United States from the 2015 Paris climate straitjacket. Its terms and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=fa0af696db3407c7d419116c8&amp;id=18d98de5a7&amp;e=d316278098\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">subsequent agreements<\/a>&nbsp;require that the USA and other industrialized nations switch from fossil fuels to \u201cclean renewable\u201d energy and de-modernize agricultural and other practices, to eliminate \u201cgreenhouse gas\u201d (GHG) emissions. That would bring blackouts, de-industrialization and job losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would also mean now-rich nations must pay developing countries&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=fa0af696db3407c7d419116c8&amp;id=bc7b8c8938&amp;e=d316278098\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$300 billion per year<\/a>&nbsp;for climate damage \u201ccompensation\u201d and renewable energy financing. But China, India and other developing countries need not cut emissions and will continue using coal, oil and natural gas in ever-increasing quantities, to modernize, create vibrant economies and lift more people out of poverty. That would mean even&nbsp;<em>zero<\/em>&nbsp;fossil fuel use by Western nations would not reduce&nbsp;<em>global<\/em>&nbsp;atmospheric GHG levels at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Better yet, send the Paris document to Congress for Article II Senate&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=fa0af696db3407c7d419116c8&amp;id=ca3258c216&amp;e=d316278098\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advice and two-thirds consent<\/a>. President Obama\u2019s sly move of calling this accord a mere \u201cagreement\u201d that required no Senate \u201ctreaty\u201d review cannot be countenanced. Paris was among the most far-reaching, impactful agreements in US history. It affects our energy, economy, jobs, living standards, healthcare, national security and more. It\u2019s a treaty and should be treated as such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Equally important, eliminate the institutionalized junk science, assertions and fearmongering that fossil fuel use has caused an existential climate crisis for people and planet.

Their emissions certainly contribute to the 0.04% CO2 in Earth\u2019s atmosphere, but&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=fa0af696db3407c7d419116c8&amp;id=a3a6dead87&amp;e=d316278098\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this miracle molecule<\/a>&nbsp;enables and spurs plant growth, thereby feeding the animal kingdom and making nearly all life possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EPA\u2019s convoluted finding defied science and reality. It allowed the Obama and Biden Administrations to justify biased climate \u201cresearch,\u201d anti-fossil fuel regulations, sprawling wind and solar installations, and the transformation of America\u2019s entire energy system and economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Endangerment Decision was likely the most \u201cmajor federal action\u201d in US history, yet it has no real statutory basis. It clearly defies the Supreme Court\u2019s decisions in&nbsp;<em>West Virginia v. EPA, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council&nbsp;<\/em>and<em>&nbsp;Loper Bright Enterprises, Inc., v.
