On Thursday, the GOP-led Senate voted to overturn a Biden administration move that powered California&#8217;s green energy agenda for cars and trucks that 11 other states have <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/advanced-clean-cars-program/states-have-adopted-californias-vehicle-regulations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sought</a> to adopt.
Fifty Republicans and one Democrat <a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1191/vote_119_1_00277.htm#position" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banded together</a> to revoke the Clean Air Act waiver the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/12/18/epa-california-electric-vehicles-waiver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">granted</a> in December to the Golden State that allowed it to proceed with a plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered light-duty vehicles by 2035.
Because the Republican-controlled House already <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025114?Date=05%2F01%2F2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> the resolution of disapproval, the measure now heads to President Donald Trump. California has signaled that it is prepared to file a legal challenge.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), who is the chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, spearheaded the effort in the upper chamber to repeal the waiver.
&#8220;The impact of California’s waiver would have been felt across the country, harming multiple sectors of our economy and costing hundreds of thousands of jobs in the process,&#8221; Capito said in a <a href="https://www.capito.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senate-passes-capito-resolution-to-end-californias-ev-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. &#8220;I’m proud to have led this effort to protect American workers and consumers from this radical and drastic policy.&#8221;
President Donald Trump weighed in on the issue during his presidential campaign at a rally in Saginaw, Michigan.
“When I&#8217;m president, no state in America will be permitted to ban gas-powered cars or trucks, and I guarantee it,&#8221; Trump said.
Senate Republicans used the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows bypassing a filibuster to undo regulations, to pass the resolution. Under this process, Lawmakers also voted to strike down waivers related to emissions for heavier-duty vehicles.
The Government Accountability Office (<a href="https://www.gao.gov/products/b-337179" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GAO</a>) and Senate <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5233436-senate-parliamentarian-says-lawmakers-cant-overturn-california-car-rules-but-republicans-may-try-anyway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">parliamentarian</a> advised that the waivers are not rules that qualify for CRA, but The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5312952-thune-creates-procedure-ev-mandate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on how Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) used a series of procedural votes to alleviate concerns by some of his GOP colleagues.
On X, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) accused Republicans of trying to &#8220;appease the fossil fuel industry.&#8221; He also <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1925290705502577129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they were &#8220;hijacking the CRA process in a way that’s never been done before&#8221; and warned: &#8220;What goes around when you’re in the majority comes around when you’re back in the minority.&#8221;
The one Democrat who joined with Republicans and spurned California was Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI).
&#8220;Today, I voted to prevent California and the states that follow its standard from effectively banning gas-powered cars by 2035,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/SenatorSlotkin/status/1925590423944257939" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> in a statement. &#8220;Michigan is the auto capital of the world, and as Michigan&#8217;s U.S. Senator, I have a special responsibility to stand up for the more than one million Michiganders whose livelihoods depend on the U.S. auto industry.&#8221;
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, <a href="https://x.com/AGRobBonta/status/1925624592481026347" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> his state was ready to fight in court.
&#8220;Since the Senate is caving to the Trump Admin’s demands, we will sue to protect California’s longstanding authority to maintain clean vehicle standards,&#8221; Bonta said. &#8220;President Trump may be playing partisan games with lives and good paying jobs on the line — but California won’t back down.&#8221;

New York Governor Kathy Hochul&#8217;s <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/weekly-new-york-new-jersey-energy/2025/01/06/congestion-pricing-arrives-00196531">first-in-the-nation</a> “congestion pricing” system charges residents and out-of-state commuters in Midtown Manhattan a whopping $9 toll, officially ticking off everyone left in the state (and even New Jersey!) who wasn&#8217;t already wildly displeased with Hochul. 
Congestion pricing kicks in anywhere south of 60th Street during “<a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/congestion-pricing-toll-begins-nyc-drivers-entering-center-manhattan/15757042/">peak hours</a>,” which are pretty much all day long. On weekdays, “peak hours” are considered 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on weekends 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. And there&#8217;s still a toll for off-hours, though it’s reduced. 
Not to mention, the $9 tax is just the starting off point: by 2028, the toll jumps to $12, and by 2031, drivers are looking at a $15 charge. For those who regularly drive in the area, the toll could shake out to thousands of dollars a year. Some New Jersey commuters will be paying around $5,700 in tolls with the added &#8220;congestion pricing,&#8221; a FOX 5 analysis <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbG8GhRgViA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calculated</a>. 
Hochul argues that congestion pricing is needed to reduce carbon emissions and traffic, and to fund New York’s troubled public transportation — specifically the <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/mta-is-far-more-broke-than-previously-expected-state-comptroller-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">broke</a> MTA, which is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-09/nyc-s-mta-needs-25-billion-for-capital-plan-comptroller-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> short a stunning $25 billion. The state wants to bring in $500 million per year during its first three years, and eventually $1 billion dollars when the toll hits $15. 
Interestingly, Hochul was once opposed to the tax. Back in June, she argued that the toll was too burdensome for New Yorkers, especially given rising inflation.
That&#8217;s because, behind the scenes, the governor was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/01/05/hochul-manhattan-toll-plan-trump-00196489">responding</a> to vulnerable New York Democrats who were worried that the unpopular toll would be used against them in upcoming elections. So, Hochul paused it. 
Her change of heart just so happened to come after the November elections.
And when she announced her flip, Hochul gave some of the most unconvincing spin ever witnessed in politics. She argued that she was saving New Yorkers thousands of dollars by imposing the $9 toll. After all, they&#8217;re lucky it&#8217;s not a $15 toll (yet).
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

The spin did not work. Currently, it&#8217;s some climate activists, the MTA, and Hochul, versus just about everybody else. 
New Jersey’s Democrat Governor Phil Murphy, for example, gave Hochul a <a href="https://www.nj.gov/governor/news/news/562024/approved/20241114c.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tongue-lashing</a> for the move, which he likened to a bailout for the MTA. He&#8217;s even sued to try to stop the toll program from going into effect. 
“I am firmly opposed to any attempt to force through a congestion pricing proposal in the final months of the Biden Administration. All of us need to listen to the message that voters across America sent last Tuesday, which is that the vast majority of Americans are experiencing severe economic strains and still feeling the effects of inflation,&#8221; Murphy blasted, referring to the November election. &#8220;There could not be a worse time to impose a new $9 toll on individuals who are traveling into downtown Manhattan for work, school, or leisure.&#8221;
“New Jersey has never been meaningfully consulted on the design of this plan, either in its initial iteration or the version that was announced today,&#8221; the Democrat continued. &#8220;Perhaps that is because this effort has always simply been a way to take money from the pockets of New Jersey residents to bail out the MTA from a mountain of debt.&#8221;
“I urge Governor Hochul to reconsider the plan, and I urge all elected officials in the region — including those set to take office in January — to speak out against this proposal,&#8221; Murphy said in November. &#8220;Meanwhile, my administration will continue the fight to block this plan in court.”
Separately, the United Federation of Teachers, typically a strong Democrat ally, has also filed suit. The <a href="https://www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/articles/2024/anthony-h-palumbo/new-york-state-senators-union-leaders-farmers-rally-oppose">New York Farmers Bureau</a> has spoken out against the toll, and Manhattan residents have filed a class action lawsuit. 
Additionally, Congressional Republicans have found some Democrat support for an effort to try to stop the toll program. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
.<a href="https://twitter.com/GovKathyHochul?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GovKathyHochul</a>’s congestion pricing scheme is nothing more than a massive new tax on working families.
She thinks YOU should bail out the MTA for their crappy budgeting.
Visit <a href="https://t.co/BsnvjNW7kn">https://t.co/BsnvjNW7kn</a> and let Hochul know you&#8217;re against her congestion pricing cash grab! <a href="https://t.co/nxTJtyHls4">pic.twitter.com/nxTJtyHls4</a>
— Mike Lawler (@lawler4ny) <a href="https://twitter.com/lawler4ny/status/1857780704848818618?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 16, 2024</a></blockquote>
And President-elect Donald Trump vowed this past summer to rescind the federal approval for the &#8220;congestion pricing&#8221; program. 
Firefighters are against the toll, too, despite Hochul and the MTA specifically <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hrw2sSaUJA">arguing</a> that it will cut down on traffic and therefore reduce emergency response times. Firefighter unions say the tax will unfairly cost firefighters, as well as all other residents, and actually slow response times. The president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association, Andrew Ansbro, publicly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hrw2sSaUJA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> Hochul for not even considering an exemption for firefighters. 
“All we were asking for was an exemption for our members bringing their vehicles into the zone,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Those vehicles are regularly used to transport firefighters to and from their detail to another firehouse when there’s a shortage in one spot, and they need them somewhere else. We were denied at every turn.”
Union leaders say firefighters frequently use their personal vehicles for transporting their heavy equipment, too. They say that if they’re forced to buy additional fire trucks to avoid those personal costs, it will cost taxpayers millions of dollars. 
Despite all this, Hochul has not budged on the issue, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams likewise has not offered them support. His office said in a statement that they &#8220;don’t expect&#8221; the tax to impact emergency responses.  
Suffice it to say, New Yorkers and New Jersey residents are not happy with Hochul. And it doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re a Republican or a Democrat, a firefighter or a teacher or a farmer, non-union or union, or a hyper-liberal Manhattanite.

A coalition of 17 red states are challenging <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">California</a> over regulations that ban sale of new diesel trucks by 2036.
The lawsuit, led by Nebraska, argues that California’s <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/advanced-clean-fleets/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advanced Clean Fleets</a> regulations on internal-combustion trucks and mandate for “zero emission vehicles” by 2036 violate federal law and will have a nationwide impact. The suit argues the regulations will disrupt supply chains, raise prices on goods, and slow interstate transportation.
“In a stunning gambit that both violates the constitution and threatens our nation’s economic security, an agency of the State of California has attempted to override federal law and arrogate to itself the power to ban internal-combustion engines in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles,” the <a href="https://ago.nebraska.gov/sites/default/files/doc/ACF%20Complaint.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> says. “This attempted ban contravenes controlling law while defying real-world reality and burdening American families and businesses, already suffering from high inflation, with even more costs.”
The suit was <a href="https://ago.nebraska.gov/news/attorney-general-hilgers-leads-multi-state-coalitions-two-lawsuits-stop-electric-truck-mandates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined</a> by Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming, as well as the Arizona State Legislature and the Nebraska Trucking Association. The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.
Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers announced an additional suit against the Environmental Protection Agency for its regulations on tailpipe emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles. Critics argue that these regulations effectively take aim at traditional trucks in favor of pushing companies to manufacture and sell electric vehicles.

The <a href="https://ago.nebraska.gov/sites/default/files/doc/PFR_File%20Stamped.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suit</a> against the EPA was joined by Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. The suit was filed before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
“California and an unaccountable EPA are trying to transform our national trucking industry and supply chain infrastructure. This effort — coming at a time of heightened inflation and with an already-strained electrical grid — will devastate the trucking and logistics industry, raise prices for customers, and impact untold number of jobs across Nebraska and the country,” Hilgers said in a statement.

President Joe Biden&#8217;s Climate Czar said this week that he believes people would feel better about Russia&#8217;s war in Ukraine if Russia took steps to reduce its emissions.
The remarks from John Kerry, which happened during his final press conference, came as he stepped down from the role after serving throughout Biden&#8217;s first term in office.
&#8220;I believe that Russia has the ability to be able to make enormous changes if it really wanted to,&#8221; Kerry said. &#8220;I mean, if Russia has the ability to wage a war illegally and invade another country, they ought to be able to find the effort to be responsible on the climate issue. Unfortunately, because of the actions that Russia took in an unprovoked, illegal war against another nation, we have not been engaged in discussions with Russia.&#8221;
&#8220;Sadly, and I say sadly because it’s a loss for the world not to be able to have Russia acting constructively on this issue,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;But we need every country, including Russia — Russia is one of the largest emitters in the world — if Russia wanted to show good faith, they could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be and make a greater effort to reduce emissions now. Maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what Russia is choosing to do at this point in time.&#8221;

New Jersey&#8217;s ban on plastic bags has been not only inconvenient for the public but bad for the environment.
Back in 2020, New Jersey passed a law banning single-use plastic and paper bags in all stores and food service businesses. That law went into effect in May, 2022.
Since the ban took effect, though, it <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-jersey-plastic-bag-ban-report-environment-freedonia-custom-research-18d555d4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">looks like</a> the state&#8217;s consumption of plastic for bags spiked to three times as much, <a href="https://www.freedoniagroup.com/press-releases/freedonia-report-finds-new-jersey-single-use-bag-ban-boosts-alternative-bag-production,-increases-pl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to a report from Freedonia Custom Research that was commissioned by the American Recyclable Plastic Bag Alliance.
The total number of plastic bags did go down, falling by 60%  to 894 million bags, but the problem was the alternatives ended up having a much larger carbon footprint.
Most of New Jersey&#8217;s stores switched to reusable shopping bags, the kind often sold in supermarkets. These bags are made with non-woven polypropylene, which uses more than 15 times more plastic, and they are often not recycled.
As a result, these bags caused greenhouse gas emissions to rise 500% compared to the old bags in 2015, according to the report.
On top of this, people tend not to reuse the new reusable bags as much as intended — on average they are only used about two or three times before being thrown away.
One factor contributing to this is the rise of grocery pickup and delivery services, which usually require new alternative bags for every grocery haul.
Overall, the ban failed to accomplish its goal.
&#8220;The outcome of the ban, revealed by market research, interviews, and comprehensive studies, unveils a complicated landscape as bag purchasing behavior continues to evolve,&#8221; the report says.
Back in November, 2020 when he signed the bag ban bill, Governor Phil Murphy (D) touted the plastic bag ban as a &#8220;solution&#8221; to climate change.
“Plastic bags are one of the most problematic forms of waste, contributing to millions of discarded bags that find their way into our landfills, rivers, and oceans annually,” Murphy, a Democrat, <a href="https://parsippanyfocus.com/2024/01/27/study-exposes-pitfalls-of-new-jerseys-bag-ban-plastic-usage-skyrockets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a signing ceremony for the bill.
“With the historic signing of this bill today, we are directly addressing the issue of plastic pollution, offering solutions that will combat climate change and protect our environment for generations to come,” Murphy said.
New Jersey&#8217;s ban also prohibited Styrofoam products like cups, plates, takeout cartons, and other food containers.
At least 11 other states have bans on plastic grocery bags as well — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

Twenty-one states, led by Kentucky Attorney General <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/daniel-cameron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Cameron</a>, are challenging a new rule from the Biden administration that would mandate that states create emission standards and report back to the federal government on their progress. 
The rule from the Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) would mandate that state departments of transportation come up with goals to reduce CO2 emissions. The Republican attorneys general say that rule is unconstitutional and would harm rural areas where more driving is necessary. 
“President Biden is unconstitutionally ramming his radical climate agenda through administrative agencies that lack Congressional authority to implement such actions,” Cameron <a href="https://www.kentucky.gov/Pages/Activity-stream.aspx?n=AttorneyGeneral&amp;prId=1492" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “We will not stand by while this administration attempts to circumvent the legislative process.”
The rule, which is <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/states-sue-biden-administration-over-highway-emissions-rule?utm_source=daily&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">set</a> to go into effect on January 8, &#8220;requires State departments of transportation (State DOT) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) to establish declining carbon dioxide (CO2) targets for the GHG measure and report on progress toward the achievement of those targets. The rule does not mandate how low targets must be.&#8221;
The FHWA will also be <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/12/07/2023-26019/national-performance-management-measures-assessing-performance-of-the-national-highway-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">empowered</a> to “assess whether State DOTs have made significant progress toward achieving their targets.”
A  joint <a href="https://www.ag.ky.gov/Press%20Release%20Attachments/Complaint%20(as%20filed).pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">complaint</a> was filed on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky by Cameron and the attorneys general of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
&#8220;Congress has not given FHWA or DOT authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions,&#8221; the complaint says. &#8220;Nor can the Agencies compel the States to administer a federal regulatory program or mandate them to further Executive policy wishes absent some other authority to do so — which is lacking as to this rule.”
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
The complaint challenges President Joe Biden, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, the FHWA, and FHWA Administrator Shailen Bhatt. It says that the rule is unconstitutional and violates the principles of federalism. 
Montana AG Austin Knudsen said the rule was another aspect of the Biden administration’s attempt to implement a “radical green agenda.”
&#8220;This rule is another unlawful and overreaching regulation by the Biden Administration to force the President’s radical green agenda onto Americans regardless of the costs,” Montana AG Austin Knudsen said. &#8220;This one-size-fits-all approach might work for the Washington, DC bureaucrats who cooked it up, but it won’t work for Montana.&#8221;

An agency in the United Nations <a href="https://www.fao.org/about/about-fao/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">designed</a> to lead international efforts to defeat hunger is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-26/eat-less-meat-is-message-for-rich-world-in-food-s-first-net-zero-plan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> expected to call on the West — including the United States — to reduce meat consumption to combat so-called climate change.
The UN&#8217;s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) announced it plans to introduce a first-of-its-kind global food recommendation document at the Climate Change Conference COP28 — a two-week summit beginning on November 30 at the Expo City Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
According to Bloomberg, the plan will call upon the world&#8217;s most developed nations to curb their excessive appetite for meat to reduce greenhouse emissions, issue guidelines for farmers to adapt to &#8220;erratic weather,&#8221; and cut back emissions from food waste, post-harvest loss, or fertilizer use.
&#8220;The failure of leading meat and dairy companies to reduce emissions underlines the urgent need for more policy focus on the food and agriculture sector,&#8221; Jeremy Coller, the chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, an investor network that works with financial institutions to promote climate-friendly agriculture worldwide, said in a recent statement <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/united-nations-set-call-americans-reduce-meat-consumption" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by Fox News.
Coller said food system emissions represent an estimated third of greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of methane, which he asserted deserve &#8220;a place at the top of the table&#8221; with other climate concerns, including energy and transport.
&#8220;Investors hope the first-ever publication of a food and agriculture road map at COP28 this month will catalyze the transition to 1.5 degrees and a more sustainable food system,&#8221; he added.
Although U.S. representatives for the intergovernmental organization have not pledged to join the delegation, the UN agency&#8217;s recommendations are not binding.
According to a March 2021 study published in the Nature Food Journal, about 18 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year — approximately a third of total worldwide emissions — make up the global food system.
Fox News reported that the UN&#8217;s FAO data suggests that livestock accounts for approximately 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

However, according to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12800019/meat-consumption-climate-change-global-emissions.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Daily Mail</a> — the U.S. agriculture industry only accounts for 1.4% of global emissions and 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
UN officials have reportedly advocated for a plant-based diet to reduce an individual&#8217;s annual carbon footprint by up to 2.1 tons, but researchers found that a vegetarian diet or switching to lab-grown meat could prove ineffective in improving global emissions.
The University of California, Davis, published a study <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-12067409/Lab-grown-meat-25-times-WORSE-climate-beef.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by the Daily Mail earlier this year that indicated lab-grown or &#8220;cultured&#8221; meat produced by cultivating animal cells is up to 25 times worse for the climate than natural beef.
&#8220;Currently, animal cell-based meat products are being produced at a small scale and at an economic loss, however companies are intending to industrialize and scale-up production,&#8221; the researchers wrote. &#8220;Results indicate that the environmental impact of near-term animal cell-based meat production is likely to be orders of magnitude higher than median beef production if a highly refined growth medium is utilized.&#8221;
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson (R-PA) told Fox News Digital in a statement that regulating American farmers and ranchers out of business in the U.S would only export production overseas under hostile foreign governments, worsen emissions profiles, and harm food security and affordability rather than effectively addressing global climate change.
&#8220;Simply put, the world needs American farmers and ranchers more than the UN,&#8221; Thompson said, adding that U.S. farmers and ranchers are &#8220;climate heroes&#8221; for reducing emissions while providing Americans with abundant and affordable food, fiber, and fuel.
According to the <a href="https://www.fb.org/news-release/americas-farmers-are-reducing-greenhouse-gas-emissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Farm Bureau Federation</a>, farmers and ranchers are getting almost three times more out of their production than what they put into it compared to 70 years ago. The organization noted that livestock emissions, including pork, milk, and beef production, continue to decrease.

Popular podcast host Joe Rogan delivered an earful to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/judge-hands-win-to-16-young-climate-activists-in-montana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">climate activists</a> on a recent episode of &#8220;The Joe Rogan Experience,&#8221; saying that for all the noise they were making, they weren&#8217;t actually bringing the world any closer to solving anything.
Rogan argued — as a number of critics have – that the United States alone could not possibly bring down <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chinas-carbon-emissions-soar-as-biden-unveils-crackdown-on-american-power-plants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">global emissions</a> as long as countries like China continued to dwarf America&#8217;s output.

Rogan spoke with former CIA covert operations officer and current CEO of Portman Square Group Mike Baker, and the conversation turned to climate change and which countries were the most responsible for global emissions.
&#8220;China produces more carbon than all the developed nations combined,&#8221; Baker pointed out, and Rogan agreed.
&#8220;Which is very important to talk about when people are talking about going green,&#8221; Rogan replied. &#8220;Because the amount of impact that would happen – even if the United States went to zero — went to zero carbon output, you&#8217;re not going to put a dent in what&#8217;s happening to the world because most of it is coming from China and India.

&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand where that message is coming from or why there&#8217;s not a nuanced perspective where people are taking into account all these other variables,&#8221; Rogan continued, before proposing an answer to his own question: &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t fit the narrative.&#8221;

Rogan&#8217;s comments come with hours of an ABC News headline about the devastating wildfires in Maui that was reportedly altered to appease climate activists.
The original headline read &#8220;Why climate change can&#8217;t be blamed for Maui wildfires&#8221; — but after the network reportedly received backlash, they changed it to read &#8220;Why climate change can&#8217;t be blamed entirely for Maui wildfires.&#8221;

Senator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-manchin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Manchin</a> (D-WV) fired the latest salvo in his ongoing conflict with the Biden administration over climate policy.
The moderate Democrat lent his support to two Republican proposals intended to overturn key pieces of the Biden climate agenda Wednesday. First, he cast the deciding vote to pass a GOP-backed bill that would overturn EPA regulations on trucks. Then, he co-sponsored a bill that would reinstate tariffs on solar imports. The moves follow previous threats from Manchin to vote to overturn the $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act entirely.
First, the Senate passed a Congressional Review Act joint resolution on Wednesday that would roll back the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-unveils-proposal-for-landmark-nationwide-crackdown-on-gas-cars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA&#8217;s stringent restrictions</a> on nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions from heavy-duty trucks. The vote was 50-49, with Manchin casting the deciding vote.
“The last couple of years have shown that truck drivers keep our country moving,&#8221; Manchin said in a <a href="https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-statement-on-support-for-overturning-regulations-on-trucks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> after the vote. &#8220;However, the Biden Administration wants to burden the trucking industry with oppressive regulations that will increase prices by thousands of dollars and push truck drivers and small trucking companies out of business. When our country faces record-high inflation and vulnerable supply chains, we cannot let the EPA continue to seize unrestrained power and create regulations that devastate our economy. I am proud to support this resolution to stop this government overreach.”
The Biden administration, however, has already signaled that the rollback will not become law. The White House said Wednesday that Biden would <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/3973788-white-house-threatens-veto-of-resolution-to-nix-biden-truck-pollution-regulation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">veto</a> the bill. The restrictions, which would affect trucks beginning in model year 2027, are estimated to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 48% by 2045, <a href="https://rollcall.com/2023/04/26/senate-passes-measure-to-roll-back-truck-emissions-rule/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roll Call</a> reported. They are expected to cost around $3.9 billion in 2027 and $4.7 billion in 2045, the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy-environment/senate-approves-rule-to-cancel-biden-truck-emissions-rule" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Examiner</a> noted.
Manchin also co-sponsored a similar CRA resolution authored by Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), which would re-establish tariffs on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Biden administration paused those tariffs in 2022.
“The United States relies on foreign nations, like China, for far too many of our energy needs, and failing to enforce our existing trade laws undermines the goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act to onshore our energy supply chains, including solar,&#8221; Manchin said in a separate <a href="https://www.manchin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/manchin-co-sponsors-resolution-to-end-solar-tariff-waivers-onshore-energy-supply-chains" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a>. &#8220;I cannot fathom why the Administration and Congress would consider extending that reliance any longer and am proud to join this CRA to rescind the rule.”
A Commerce Department report, via <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-lawmakers-seek-repeal-biden-solar-tariff-waiver-2023-01-26/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reuters</a>, found that American solar companies are dodging import duties on Chinese-manufactured solar panels by moving them through the four Southeast Asian countries.

The moves come two days after Manchin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/manchin-ups-the-ante-in-feud-with-biden-admin-threatens-to-repeal-inflation-reduction-act" target="_blank" rel="noopener">threatened</a> to vote to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act — the Biden administration&#8217;s landmark climate spending bill, which he cast the critical vote for — if they did not stop their aggressive green energy push. “If this administration does not honor what they said they would do and continue to liberalize [green energy investment] — I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening,” the senator told Fox News&#8217;s Sean Hannity in an interview on Monday. “And if they don’t change, then I would vote to repeal my own bill.”

Worldwide <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/climate-change" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carbon</a> emissions reached their highest levels in world history last year as much of the planet doubled down on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fossil-fuels" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fossil fuels</a> even as Western nations pushed a transition toward renewable <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/energy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">energy</a>.
Emissions of carbon dioxide rose 0.9% in 2022 after increasing at a record 6% in 2021, according to an <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/co2-emissions-in-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from the International Energy Agency. Coal emissions rose 1.6% as the worldwide energy shortage induced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine caused nations in Asia and Europe to pivot from natural gas to coal power, while oil emissions rose 2.5% as the aviation industry continued to recover following governmental lockdown mandates.
International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/global-co2-emissions-rose-less-than-initially-feared-in-2022-as-clean-energy-growth-offset-much-of-the-impact-of-greater-coal-and-oil-use" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> that the rise in carbon dioxide emissions occurred despite the worldwide increase in green energy usage. He noted that “fossil fuel companies are making record revenues and need to take their share of responsibility” by aligning themselves with “meaningful emissions reductions.”
The Asia Pacific with the exception of China increased emissions by 229 megatons between 2021 and 2022, far exceeding the 100 megaton increase in North America and canceling out the 138 megaton reduction in Europe. “Over half of the region’s increase in emissions came from coal-fired power generation,” the analysis said.
The decreased emissions in Europe came as a result of disrupted oil and natural gas supplies from Russia, which resulted in a tenfold increase in energy prices compared to normal levels, and a mild winter during which citizens used less power for heating than usual. Countries such as France and Spain have asked or <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/french-president-calls-for-10-cut-in-energy-use-will-ration-power-as-a-last-resort" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mandated</a> residents to reduce energy consumption. The emissions growth in the United States and Asia came amid extreme temperatures in the former and “rapid economic and energy demand growth” in the latter.
China, which only recently eliminated its aggressive nationwide lockdown mandates, saw a 23 megaton reduction in emissions last year. The nation was responsible for 26.1% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions as of 2018, according to <a href="https://www.c2es.org/content/international-emissions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the International Energy Agency, surpassing the 13.4% of worldwide emissions produced by the United States and the 7.6% of worldwide emissions produced by members of the European Union.
Chinese authorities nevertheless <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/china-is-full-steam-ahead-with-new-coal-plants-as-the-west-goes-green" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> 106 gigawatts of new coal power projects in 2022, more than quadrupling the 23 gigawatts approved in 2021 and sextupling the increases planned by the rest of the world combined, according to an <a href="https://energyandcleanair.org/publication/china-permits-two-new-coal-power-plants-per-week-in-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air.
Skeptics of governments which encourage the renewable energy transition have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wall-street-journal-blasts-joe-biden-john-kerry-for-pushing-self-destructive-green-energy-policies-while-china-burns-more-coal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">observed</a> that higher emissions from China, as well as India and developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, are outpacing emissions declines in the West. Western nations have nevertheless advanced landmark climate bills in recent years to decrease their carbon emissions.

The European Union approved €1.8 trillion, the equivalent of roughly $1.9 trillion, with the European Green Deal three years ago in order to make member states climate neutral by 2050. Some $369 billion in climate initiatives was likewise approved in the Inflation Reduction Act last year; President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/08/07/statement-by-president-biden-on-senate-passage-of-the-inflation-reduction-act/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the legislation would make “the largest investment ever in combating the existential crisis of climate change” and create jobs through the manufacturing of “solar panels, wind turbines, and electric vehicles.”

Legacy media wants you to believe that the Right is in hysterics over some rumor that the Biden administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-misguided-agenda-natural-gas-group-shreds-biden-administration-for-weighing-gas-stove-ban" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wants to ban gas stoves</a>. In fact, some are even alleging that conservatives started another fight in the culture war needlessly.
Yet the idea that the federal government wants to ban gas stoves didn&#8217;t <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/out-of-left-field-uscs-school-of-social-work-bans-the-word-field-because-its-racist-apparently" target="_blank" rel="noopener">come out of left field</a>, and it didn&#8217;t start this week.
In December, Richard Trumka Jr., the Senate-confirmed commissioner of the United States Consumer Protection and Safety Commission (CPSC), expressed his desire to eliminate the products from the market while telling like-minded individuals that the federal government could regulate the products so quickly with &#8220;enough public pressure.&#8221;
During a webinar titled &#8220;Pollution-free cooking for the holidays,&#8221; Trumka told the non-profit consumer advocacy group U.S. Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG) how the Biden administration is tackling the supposed dangers of gas stoves indoors.
Trumka, speaking with a group he said he calls on &#8220;without fail&#8221; for guidance on certain topics, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kir_VBo6XEA&amp;embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.dailywire.com%2F&amp;source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, &#8220;I think we need to be talking about regulating gas stoves — whether that&#8217;s drastically improving emissions or banning gas stoves entirely.&#8221;
https://twitter.com/TimMeadsUSA/status/1613548054690291712?s=20&#038;t=KEkLll5MEQhJ07I0tRVtQA
Trumka encouraged all participants &#8220;to keep that possibility of a ban in mind&#8221; while adding that regulatory authority is &#8220;a powerful tool in our toolbox and it&#8217;s a real possibility.&#8221;
To make that dream become a reality, Trumka informed USPIRG that the CPSC would be opening a public commenting period in March. Regularly, when a federal agency is considering a new regulatory rule, they invite the public — whether it be consumers, advocacy groups, or somebody else — to submit feedback and ideas that may help guide the rule-making decision before beginning the rule-finalizing process.
&#8220;Now, this public request for information is the first step in what could be a long journey towards regulating gas stoves, but I&#8217;m here to tell you that with enough public pressure, it doesn&#8217;t have to be,&#8221; Trumka <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kir_VBo6XEA&amp;embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.dailywire.com%2F&amp;source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proclaimed</a>. &#8220;We could get a regulation on the books before this time next year.&#8221;
The son of the deceased union boss Richard Trumka Sr. admitted that it was a daunting task, given the slowness of the federal government, but pledged to barrel over any speed bumps with the help of anti-gas stove Americans.
&#8220;It&#8217;s absolutely possible,&#8221; he said of imposing new regulations within 12 months. &#8220;Just because the federal government isn&#8217;t known for moving quickly — doesn&#8217;t mean that it can&#8217;t happen. And my number one goal as a commissioner is to push our agency farther and faster than it has ever moved.&#8221;
Trumka, Jr. isn&#8217;t treating this as a personal pet project either.
In December, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Congressman Donald Beyer (D-VA) sent a joint letter &#8220;calling on the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to take swift action to protect Americans from gas stove pollution,&#8221; as summarized by USPIRG.
While the letter stopped short of suggesting the U.S. ban gas stoves, it did recommend at least considering heavy regulation of the products.
It should be noted that controversy gained steam this week when Trumka stated in a recent interview that &#8220;any option is on the table&#8221; regarding the indoor cooking appliance. But, as the video from late last year shows, that was not some off-the-cuff remark for Trumka. It is a serious potential policy &#8220;solution&#8221; for him.
So rather than looking at the fact that it was the Biden administration and elected Democrats who started this assault on gas stoves, media outlets are claiming that there is no reason for concern.
Leftists point to the fact CPSC Chair Alex Hoehn-Saric said, &#8220;I am not looking to ban gas stoves and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so&#8221; as evidence that this couldn&#8217;t become a reality.
Yet just because Hoehn-Saric feels that way doesn&#8217;t mean that others with authority, such as Trumka, aren&#8217;t seriously considering it.
It seems the Biden administration can technically say there&#8217;s &#8220;no proceeding&#8221; to ban gas stoves because the public comment period hasn&#8217;t started yet.  Again, that period is set to start in March, and then the official rule-making process begins.
Regardless, outlets such as Axios are <a href="https://www.axios.com/2023/01/12/gas-stoves-conservative-backlash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a>, &#8220;Despite official insistence that fears of a ban are unfounded, conservatives are suddenly championing gas stoves in a new culture war.&#8221;
Yet those fears aren&#8217;t unfounded, and it wasn&#8217;t conservatives who shot the opening salvo in this latest debate. It was folks like Trumka who voiced his desire to hear from advocates who want to ban gas stoves or heavily regulate otherwise so that the feds can get to it as quickly as possible.
PS: Isn&#8217;t it bad journalism for Axios to simply take &#8220;official insistence&#8221; at face value? That&#8217;s assuming they want to partake in journalism at all and not run cover for the Democrats.
