SUMMARY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the outset it is important to understand that carbon dioxide has two relevant properties, as a creator of food and oxygen, and as a greenhouse gas (GHG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As to food and oxygen, carbon dioxide is essential to nearly all life on earth by creating food and oxygen by photosynthesis.  Further, it creates more food as its level in the atmosphere increases.  For example, doubling carbon dioxide from today\u2019s approximately 420 ppm to 840 ppm would increase the amount of food available to people worldwide by roughly 40%, and doing so would have a negligible effect on temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As to carbon dioxide as a GHG, the United States and countries worldwide are vigorously pursuing rules and subsidies under the Net Zero Theory that carbon dioxide and other GHG emissions must be reduced to Net Zero and the use of fossil fuels must be eliminated by 2050 to avoid catastrophic global warming and more extreme weather.\u00a0 A key premise stated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the \u201cevidence is clear that carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) is the main driver of climate change,\u201d where \u201cmain driver means responsible for more than 50% of the change.\u201d[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden Administration adopted over 100 rules and Congress has provided enormous subsidies promoting alternatives to fossil fuel premised on the Net Zero Theory. The EPA Endangerment Finding, for example, asserts \u201celevated concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may reasonably be anticipated to endanger the public health and to endanger the public welfare of current and future generations.\u201d[2]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 9, 2025 President Trump issued a \u201cMemorandum on Directing Repeal of Unlawful Rules\u201d and Fact Sheet stating \u201cagencies shall immediately take steps to effectuate the repeal of any [unlawful] regulation\u201d under Supreme Court precedents, inter alia<\/em>, where \u201cthe scientific and policy premises undergirding it had been shown to be wrong,\u201d or \u201cwhere the costs imposed are not justified by the public benefits.\u201d[3]<\/a>  We understand the Supreme Court has also ruled in the leading case State Farm<\/em>[4]<\/a> that an agency regulation is arbitrary, capricious and thus invalid where, inter alia:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
