Leftists Melt Down after Climate Change Removed from America’s List of Policy Priorities
As “climate change” is removed from the national threat assessment, a Bloomberg opinion piece provides a great list of all the winning Team Trump has had over the past 52 days.
In a move that makes anyone familiar with the real real climate science, climate change has been left out of the US intelligence community’s annual assessment of threats to this country.
It’s the first time this has happened in over a decade.
Maine’s supposedly independent Sen. Angus King grilled Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in a recent US Senate earing over the readjustment in security priorities with all the pomp and arrogance of New England pseudo-nobility.
Every single one of these reports that we have had has mentioned global climate change as a significant national security threat except this one. Has something happened? Has global climate change been solved? Why is that not in this report, and who made the decision that it should not be in the report, when it’s been in every one of the 11 prior reports?”
Gabbard response was to slap-back, indicating there were other more urgent priorities for her agency to address.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday that for the intelligence community to be aware of the environment that they’re operating on “is a given” and that the report was “focused very directly on the threats that we deem most critical to the United States and our national security.”
“What I focused this annual threat assessment on, and the [intelligence community] focused this threat assessment on, are the most extreme and critical direct threats to our national security,” she explained, responding to pressing questions from Democratic Maine Sen. Angus King.
Gabbard said she did not recall instructing the intelligence community to avoid mentioning climate change in the 31-page report.
Gabbard was outstanding in expressing the proper national security priorities, which do not include worry about a few extra molecules of a life-essential gas. The Earth’s climate in in a constant state of change, and I will also note that we are at a temperature low point when you consider the last 485 million years of planetary history.
Therefore, I am much more worried about terrorists, cyber-threats, unrestrained illegal immigration, and Chinese military capabilities than I am about a potential degree change in a global temperature measurement that is essentially meaningless.
It turns out the only thing in danger of melting down in the current environment are leftists. Perhaps the most spectacularly histrionic response came via a Bloomberg opinion piece, which summarized 52 glorious days of President Donald Trump’s orders redirecting where this nation’s resources, monies, and energies should be spent.
Every agency with any connection to the climate (meaning basically all of them) has been involved, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Defense Department. International cooperation by NASA scientists, UN diplomats and more has been forbidden, and Trump appointees are meddling in state and local efforts to manage their own environments.
Elon Musk’s crew, intent on dismantling the apparatus of government, has frozen research and funding and put vital expertise on the street.
Trump claims his climate demolition will benefit the country. He and his mouthpieces have argued that ignoring climate will lower energy costs for consumers, help the economy and secure “energy dominance” for the US.
The authors decry the effort as demolishing years of great work in days. My reply:
YEARS OF “CLIMATE CULTISM” DEMOLISHED IN DAYS. Yes!!!! I voted for this. https://t.co/Ta45MPhdRl

Truly, 2025 was a “joy” election.
Best news I’ve heard all day. https://t.co/7natshhk1B

Hot Air’s Beege Welborne has a great assessment of the 52-days of policy success Trump 2.0 has had, as meticulously charted out in a manner that backfires on what the authors (Mark Gongloff and Elaine He) intended to achieve.
They literally have created a chart that tells you what number day of Trump’s administration he did what to what, which took away what, and affecting what, with multiple entries for some days.
Here are a couple of lines:
16 NOAA Nominee to lead the agency was Trump’s “Sharpiegate” enabler Catastrophes 17 State Rescinded $4 billion in pledges to the UN Green Climate Fund International cooperation 52 days of this.
I’ve written a ton about the climate industry churning through tax dollars over the past few years, no more so than the rush to get as much out the door as possible in the remaining months before Trump came in.
That these hardcore advocates are melting down only two months into this administration is telling both how effective the Trump efforts have been and how deep the rot went.
I must admit, I am shocked so much has been accomplished in 52 days. I can’t wait to see where we are at 100!

If all those “years of climate action” are so easily undone, then it couldn’t have been that effective could it? Just a thought.
It was very effective – at padding bank accounts.
Especially Algore’s.

This is highly worth watching
AGW as a theory is thoroughly disproved by its own failure to successfully predict anything.
UN’s IPCC reports have, over the years, made hundreds of predictions. None of them ever panned out. Worse, most of the time the precise opposite happened.
If there was any actual “science” involved here, the obvious thing to do would be to acknowledge that the theory must be false and move on. But, instead, after every failure they double down on it.
This is why they resort to falsifying data and bullying anyone that doesn’t believe in their cult. If the theory were correct, they could simply point to all the successful predictions made that were based on it. But, they have none. So, they bully, shame, and censor instead.
Lousy answer by Gabbard, BTW. She should have told Whitehouse that the real question is why “climate change” had ever been listed as a national security threat in any previous report. “We don’t waste taxpayer money on silly hoaxes.” would have been a good response also. Instead, she played along with his false narrative that “climate change”, caused by humans, was a thing.
Even assuming there is some risk to “climate change” (whatever it means) the cost of trying to fi fossil fuel free is staggering. Look at electricity prices I Germany and UK. They’re high and rising, and those economies are deindustrializing. Should they ever get near Nut-zero, their populations will be back in the 17th century, all this while China and India are going gung-ho with fossil fuels. As human beings we are very smart and we will figure out ways to overcome any possible negative consequences of “climate change” that does not impoverishing ourselves.
“Should they ever get near Nut-zero, their populations will be back in the 17th century”
The sad part is that as more and more Europeans decide to not have children, yet support unlimited immigration of Muslims, they will not see a reduction of population. They will be replaced by an ever increasing immigration of child bearing age women.
Once the balance goes to immigrants, the “priorities” will change. No more concern with “climate change.” Lots more concern placed on political change as the theocracy takes over.
Not that there is much of a difference between the theocracy of climate change (more so a pseudo religion).
If Democrats care so little about Climate Change that they are happy trying to destroy Tesla and Tesla cars, and trading them in for gas guzzlers, my interest in their position has shrunk to just about absolute zero.
I’m looking to purchase a bigger mug to hold all these delicious salty leftist tears.
Post your links for suggestions below.
I purchased a five gallon igloo cooler. I use the liberal tears to water my tomatoes.
I’ve always dreamed of having a salt-water swimming pool…
24,000 gallons of self-chlorinating beauty!
Whirly makes a 100oz insulated mug, I have 2.
Good, we shouldn’t be basing policy on unproven junk science.
40 years and not a single correct prediction, model or guess by the left on CACC.. much less global warming.
Cultists morons.
More of the Democrat money laundering operation dismantled. The green nonsense was never more than a get rich scheme for a few while making the US dependent on China which Biden got paid a lot of money to do. All this while making American’s poorer and our energy grid non reliable.
Best documentary I ever saw on the subject: A climate conversation

There is a lesson here. (Mainly for President Trump. He should repurpose DOGE as a climate change fighting effort by proclaiming every tax dollar saved reduces our carbon footprint and therefore cannot be subject to court orders or lawsuits because the climate is our Number One national emergency).
My argument for the Climate-Nuts is that they’re wasting their time. No action the upper-middle class of America can take will change anything
There are roughly 7 billion people on the planet.
The Americas, Japan, and Europe comprise rough 2 billion.
However Africa has a billion people and India combined with China make up another 3 billion. Let’s say remaining billion are mostly in Eurasia for convenience sake.
Even if the Americas Japan, and Europe became completely “pure” their effort is overwhelmed by the rest of the world’s CO2 emissions, Further it is the very height of arrogance to say that the poor populations of those areas cannot have cars or electricity etc. until solar or wind power can “cleanly” support those things for them.
“The peasants have no more dung over which to cook their food? Let them use solar-powered microwaves!”
When the late Johnny Carson mimicked Carl Sagan, an early proponent of climate change, and emoted “billions and billions” he was obviously talking about the amount of money that could be grifted from the American people and not about the number of stars in a galaxy,
BTW: I liked both Carson and Sagan.
It isn’t going to save the budget but there are a lot of “you better not do x because of climate” we have issued to many countries accompanied by “and don’t worry we will give you token y if you comply”.
Fortunately we do not need to pay foreign countries y if we aren’t doing a threat over x.
Instead of real problems, the left loves to pursue fads. Now that the two of the top fads, climate change and DEI, are expiring, with gender dysphoria also waning, the self-appointed geniuses are going crazy. What fads will be the replacements, all the world wonders?
The Best Climate Change was
Trump getting elected 2x
Is this the death of Chicken Little?
Assuming plants have enough water, CO2 will improve crop yields.
