"Little history lesson, Richard Nixon, a Republican, okay, he started the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970. Trump has always said it's a hoax, the whole thing, but climate change, he said Scientists, he says, are stupid people. He says, the idea that greenhouse gases cause climate change, there's no basis in fact. He thinks it's just some bullshit that people made up out of nothing to get rich. You know, like crypto. (LAUGHTER)"
"And, yes, his EPA director, Lee Zeldin, said this is the single, this is a quote, single largest deregulatory action in American history.. Probably true. Also the biggest d*ick move in American. History. Guys, this is not made up. You know, this science. Doug Burgum, he's the interior secretary. Listen to this, the way they all line up behind this nonsense. He said, CO2, carbon, was never a pollutant. He said when we breathe, we emit CO2."
The Trump administration moved to gut the EPA's authority to regulate carbon, framing the rollback as the largest deregulatory action in U.S. history. Administration officials publicly questioned established greenhouse gas science and claimed CO2 is not a pollutant, citing human exhalation. Those positions characterize regulatory stripping as ideologically driven and dismissive of climate science. Public reaction included sharp criticism and ridicule of officials' rationales. The combination of major deregulation and the denial of scientific consensus raises concerns about long-term climate policy, environmental protection, and governmental responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions.
