Climate activists vandalized the iconic Wall Street Bull with green graffiti declaring &#8220;Greed = Death,” but quickly scrubbed it clean before police officers arrived at the scene.
Members of the environmental activist group Extinction Rebellion defaced the bronze statue early Monday during an Earth Day demonstration, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/22/us-news/wall-street-bull-painted-over-by-environmental-activists-who-cleaned-up-when-cops-came/">reported</a>.
The vandals spray-painted their organization&#8217;s symbol alongside the anti-capitalist messaging on the bull while hysterically reciting climate alarmist slogans.
The activists also attempted to create an image of the bull defecating on a cutout of Earth by hanging debris-filled brown stockings near the rear of the statue.

As more cops arrived on the scene, they casually watched as the activists finished cleaning their graffiti off the bull, making no immediate arrests.
The 7,100-pound Wall Street Bull, installed in 1989, has long been a symbol of American financial prosperity and a frequent target for anti-capitalist protesters.
The bull has repeatedly been targeted by left-wing protesters, who see the statue as a symbol of corporate “greed” and the evils of capitalism.
In 2019, a Dallas man <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/2019/09/07/wall-streets-iconic-charging-bull-statue-bashed-by-angry-texas-man/">bashed</a> what appeared to be a heavy silver guitar into the statue while screaming “F**k Trump!,” damaging one of its horns before he was arrested by the NYPD.

Over the past decade, the climate change movement has morphed into a social and political juggernaut that has weakened and exploited America’s institutions. Its success stemmed from two strengths: it fused science with ideology, creating a quasi-religious fervor — think Just Stop Oil or Extinction Rebellion.
The climate movement also won over the legacy media, which thrives on fear, sensationalism, and a bias toward statism. This alliance resonated with those favoring bigger government and tapped into a primal fear of looming catastrophe — a narrative amplified by widespread ignorance of energy and climate systems. For power-hungry politicians, climate catastrophism became their golden ticket to more influence and control.
Backed by legacy media cheerleaders and an academia dominated by Left-leaning statists, the movement snowballed, especially among the young.  Recent debates and polling shifts suggest some improvement in public understanding, but the damage has been substantial. 
The climate change story, however, rests on shaky scientific and moral ground. The climate has always fluctuated — warming and cooling in cycles — and always will. CO₂, while a greenhouse gas, is a minor player compared to water vapor and solar activity — not the villain it’s painted to be. History shows species thrive in warmer periods and struggle in colder ones.
As Bjorn Lomborg points out, over the past century, climate-related deaths have <a href="https://x.com/BjornLomborg/status/1885310861264199688" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plummeted by 99%,</a> with cold still claiming more lives than heat. The science simply doesn’t support the panic.

Morally, it’s worse. Billions of people <a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/12-06-2024-progress-on-basic-energy-access-reverses-for-first-time-in-a-decade?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lack access to affordable, reliable energy</a> — a right most Americans enjoy as part of the fortunate one billion. Denying them the cheapest energy sources available, all in pursuit of carbon cuts, is the real injustice. The post-election pivot to prioritize energy access and human well-being over obsessive emissions reductions is a welcome return to reason.
This moral blindness is often cloaked in self-righteous virtue. The climate movement preaches sacrifice while demanding subsidies, mandates, and central planning. It calls for collective responsibility while punishing prosperity. It seeks compliance, not progress; narrative control, not truth. In true Orwellian fashion, freedom becomes pollution, and servitude is sold as sustainability.
The damage wrought by this movement was magnified by the erosion of institutional integrity. In the corporate world, where I operate, our duty is clear: maximize value for investors, as Milton Friedman argued. Property rights demand it. Yet leaders have grown lax, allowing political Trojan horses like ESG and DEI to infiltrate and hijack companies — and their shareholder’s property — for ideological ends. Banks and firms fell in line, abandoning their core mission. The pursuit of shareholder value was replaced with pandering to fashionable causes, often disconnected from performance or accountability.
Academia has suffered similar rot, even my alma mater, the University of Texas. Take the lazy use of terms like “green,” “clean,” and “sustainable” to describe solar and wind energy. Dig into the facts: mining rare earths and manufacturing these technologies are dirty processes, often tied to child labor in Africa, and far from sustainable without heavy subsidies. Describing them as ‘green’ or ‘clean’ is more than misleading, it’s a lie. Our institutions should have been bulwarks against this coercion, but they buckled. The guardians of inquiry and meritocracy became mouthpieces for activist orthodoxy.
The 2024 election and its aftermath signal that we’ve weathered the climate movement’s storm. Now what? At Atlas Energy Solutions, our chairman’s “<a href="https://www.atlas.energy/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Chairmans-Letter-on-ESG.pdf">Who We Are</a>” letter laid it out: we stick to the Friedman Doctrine, building a fortress against political fads and focusing solely on value creation. We’ve aimed to lead by example, and it’s heartening to see others doing the same.
Business and politics don’t mix — nor should academia and politics. Universities owe students free inquiry and critical thinking, not indoctrination. It’s time to purge ideological agendas and revive institutional excellence.
Capitalism — real capitalism — requires moral clarity. It is not a tool of oppression, but a system that rewards value creation and voluntary exchange. The climate agenda, as it stands, undermines both. To restore institutional discipline, we must reaffirm what made this country exceptional: a commitment to liberty, property rights, free markets, and the truth. That’s the only path forward. That’s how we liberate American energy — and the human potential it powers.

The White House moved to put an end to a costly federal initiative that has been the vehicle behind decades of government policies driven by climate alarmism, The Daily Wire confirmed on Wednesday.
Administration sources told the The Daily Wire that changes have been put in motion to eliminate the U.S. Global Change Research Program, which was created by Congress in 1990 and has been funneled billions of dollars to research climate change. It is responsible for producing a National Climate Assessment, which is considered the &#8220;crown jewel&#8221; of climate research and is used by agencies across government to justify costly programs intended to alleviate climate change.
On Wednesday, two days after The Daily Wire published an investigation into how the U.S. Global Change Research Program spends its government funds, the spending has officially been cancelled. Specifically pinpointed was millions of dollars awarded through NASA for a consulting firm called ICF, which coordinated the creation of the National Climate Assessment for the government.
According to Politico, which <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/09/trump-moves-to-hobble-major-climate-study-00280405">first reported</a> the elimination, getting rid of ICF&#8217;s contract was a fatal blow to the climate initiative. &#8220;Killing that contract has &#8216;forever severed&#8217; climate change work occurring across agencies,&#8221; Politico reported.
READ MORE: <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/meet-the-government-contractor-raking-in-millions-to-spread-climate-doom/">Meet The Government Consultants Raking In Millions To Spread Climate Doom</a>
The administration&#8217;s Office of Management and Budget and Office of Science and Technology Policy coordinated with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, on the decision to eliminate the contract. There is no expectation that there will be another National Climate Assessment, which was expected in 2026.
A source familiar with the decision says ICF, the consulting firm, was allowing its own bias to influence the reports.
&#8220;ICF has produced assessments riddled with worst-case scenarios, obfuscating the assumptions underlying dire predictions about what the planet will be like in 100 years,&#8221; the administration source explained. &#8220;The quality of the information is low, and the Administration is committed to basing decisions on realistic assumptions that comport with legal standards.&#8221;
Climate scientists who previously worked on the National Climate Assessment reports said ICF had outsized influence over its findings. The scientist said ICF runs the show, virtually controlling the entire U.S. Global Change Research Program.
“By providing all staff for the USGCRP, a federal agency, the ICF exerts undue influence over the global change narrative and priorities presented by the federal government,” said the scientist, who requested anonymity to discuss the work. “The ICF, through the USGCRP, exerts an undue influence on the production of the National Climate Assessment every four years. With the exception of its Executive Director and the Director of the National Climate Assessment, the ICF supplies all staff associated with the USGCRP.”
The Daily Wire was able to identify the active contract through NASA that was poised to deliver more than $10 million to ICF to continue its work. The contract was first<a href="https://investor.icf.com/news-releases/news-release-details/nasa-awards-icf-34-million-contract-support-us-global-change"> announced</a> in June 2021, and described as a $34 million, five-year contract to help with the National Climate Assessments. Only $18 million had been paid out, according to the<a href="https://www.usaspending.gov/award/CONT_IDV_80HQTR21D0004_8000"> government spending database.</a> But with another assessment on deck and ICF under contract for another year, the additional $16 million could have been disbursed in the next year.
It was long-suspected that Russell Vought, who leads the Office of Management and Budget for Trump, had the climate programs in his sights. Vought had specifically called out the U.S. Global Change Research Program’s report, arguing that the bureaucrats who write it end up with outsized power over government action. He’s called for an investigation of the political leanings of the contractors that assemble the report.
Neither ICF nor the U.S. Global Change Research Program responded to requests for comment.
Houston Keene, a former journalist who now directs Democracy Restored, a government transparency watchdog that has spotlighted the U.S. Global Change Research Program, said cancelling the contract was a &#8220;step in the right direction.&#8221;
&#8220;This is one step in the right direction toward restoring the integrity in government climate science,&#8221; Keene said. &#8220;Yet given the largesse of the climate lobby and the DOGE revelations, there is likely much more to uncover.&#8221;

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Tuesday that climate change was not included in the Intelligence Community&#8217;s national threat assessment this year because she directed America&#8217;s intelligence apparatus to focus on the most serious and immediate threats that the country faces.
Gabbard made the remarks during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing when Sen. Angus King (I-ME) asked why global climate change was no longer deemed a national security threat.
&#8220;Every single one of these reports that we have had has mentioned global climate change as a significant national security threat, except this one,&#8221; King said. &#8220;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&#8217;s been in every one of the 11 prior reports?&#8221;
Gabbard responded: &#8220;I can&#8217;t speak to the decisions made previously, but this annual threat assessment has been focused very directly on the threats that we deem most critical to the United States and our national security.&#8221;
&#8220;Obviously, we&#8217;re aware of occurrences within the environment and how they may impact operations, but we&#8217;re focused on the direct threats to Americans&#8217; safety, well-being, and security,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;What I focused this annual threat assessment on and the IC focused this threat assessment on are the most extreme and critical direct threats to our national security,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;I gave direction to our team at ODNI to focus on the most extreme and critical national security threats that we face.&#8221;

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made it clear on Sunday that as long as he is in charge, the Department of Defense would not be devoting energy and resources to combatting climate change.
Hegseth was responding to a post from CNN National Security reporter Haley Britzky, who had published a piece earlier that day decrying the Trump administration&#8217;s plans to abandon climate-related programs within the Defense Department.
&#8220;NEW: The DOD and DOGE have said they plan to cut climate programs in the Pentagon,&#8221; Britzky posted via X, adding, &#8220;But officials &amp; experts are warning that climate efforts at DOD are directly linked to military readiness, and say cuts could put troops and military operations at risk.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
From Britzky&#8217;s article:
<blockquote>Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other senior Pentagon officials have pointed to climate programs as a prime example of wasteful spending in the military. Hegseth told reporters in Germany in February that the Pentagon is “not in the business of climate change.”Acting Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Salesses also made it clear that funding would be cut in a statement last month, saying the Pentagon will “cease unnecessary spending that set our military back under the previous administration, including through so-called ‘climate change’ and other woke programs.”</blockquote>
Britzky went on to quote Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot as saying that the DOD planned to work closely with DOGE in order to determine which programs were not mission critical, adding, &#8220;Climate zealotry and other woke chimeras of the Left are not part of that core mission.&#8221;
Hegseth <a href="https://x.com/PeteHegseth/status/1898813400949408080" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> to Britzky&#8217;s post, saying, &#8220;John is, of course, correct. The @DeptOfDefense does not do climate change crap. We do training and warfighting.&#8221;
DOD spokesperson and Army Ranger veteran Sean Parnell shared a video a week earlier about the Pentagon&#8217;s plans to work with DOGE to identify wasteful spending, and he specifically mentioned at least one climate-related initiative.
&#8220;How about this one: $1.6 million to the University of Florida to study social and institutional detriments of vulnerability in resilience to climate hazards in African Sahel. You see folks – this stuff is not a core function of our military. This is not what we do, this is a distraction from our core mission,&#8221; he said.

The Liberal Party chose banker and climate activist Mark Carney to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s next prime minister during the party’s elections on Sunday night. 
Carney, who has led the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, easily secured the win, taking 86% of the vote during the Liberal Party election. During his victory speech, Carney took shots at President Donald Trump and claimed that America wanted to destroy Canada’s way of life. 
“America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form,” Carney <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/09/canadas-liberals-pick-mark-carney-to-replace-justin-trudeau-00220148">said</a>. “We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.”
Since becoming president, Trump has suggested that Canada could become America&#8217;s 51st state and levied a series of tariffs against the country. 
&#8220;Canada will not bow down to a bully. We won’t stand by as illegal U.S. tariffs hurt our workers and their families. As Canadians, we need to face this challenge as one united team,&#8221; Carney <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/mark-carney-wins-liberal-party-nomination-replace-trudeau-canadas-next-pm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. He added that the Americans would “destroy our way of life” if they succeeded in getting “our water, our land, our country.” 
Carney is expected to call for nationwide elections sometime in the next few weeks, which could shake up the political makeup of Parliament. Alongside Trudeau, the Liberal Party’s popularity has fallen in recent months, and the Conservative Party could be poised to take control, with polls showing the party with a <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/polling-federal-rapid-shift-1.7469312" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slight advantage</a>. 
During his speech on Sunday, Carney slammed rival Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre, who heads the Conservative Party. The banker said that Poilievre was too closely aligned with Trump’s agenda.
“Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer. Pierre Poilievre’s plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered,” he said. “Because a person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him.”
Poilievre, who has rejected calls from Trump to make Canada the 51st state, said that Carney would be a continuation of the unpopular Trudeau.
“Liberals are trying to trick Canadians into electing them for a fourth term by replacing Trudeau with his economic advisor, Mark Carney,” Poilievre <a href="https://x.com/PierrePoilievre/status/1898886332211986502" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> on X on Sunday. “It is the same Liberal team that drove up taxes, housing costs, and food prices, while Carney personally profited from moving billions of dollars and thousands of jobs out of Canada to the United States. We need a new Conservative government that will put Canada First—for a change.”
Carney has a history of pushing climate activism, previously working as the U.N. special envoy for climate action and finance, and <a href="https://www.gfanzero.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launching</a> the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero in April 2021 to push decarbonization and push &#8220;leaders from the financial services sector to support the transition to a net-zero economy.&#8221;

A massive climate change slush fund created by former President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act paid out billions of dollars to groups that had been created just months before receiving the money.
Exclusive <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/03/05/business/john-podesta-375m-epa-slush-fund-gave-billions-to-newly-formed-charities/?utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporting</a> from the New York Post found that billions of dollars went to groups with no footprint, including $7 billion to Climate United Fund, a Bethesda, Maryland, organization that has no federal filings or even a listing on the Internal Revenue Service’s charities database. Further, the organization was incorporated in Delaware on November 30, 2023, just five months before receiving the money in April 2024, the Post reported.
Climate Fund United announced “the historic investment” in a press release and claimed the organization “delivers benefits like cleaner air” and “increased energy security,” but fails to note how it will spend the $7 billion.
A spokesperson for the organization told the Post that the money provided to the Climate United Fund actually sits with a related non-profit called Calvert Impact. The Post found three organizations with that name, all based in Bethesda, meaning it is difficult to track where the money actually went.
Another organization, the Justice Climate Fund, was created in 2023 and received $940 million dollars even though it hasn’t even submitted a tax filing to the IRS. The organization claims it works with “community partners” to “drive transformative investments, focused on reducing pollution,” and more.
The slush fund was overseen by John Podesta, who chaired Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 presidential bid and who fell for <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-phishing-email-that-hacked-the-account-of-john-podesta/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a phishing scam</a> that hacked his Gmail account and led to WikiLeaks releasing his emails. Biden tapped Podesta to oversee the climate slush fund in 2022, soon after the Inflation Reduction Act was passed. Though named for its supposed efforts to reduce inflation, the bill increased government spending – particularly to left-wing organizations purporting to solve climate change.
In 2024, Environmental Protection Agency advisor Brent Efron discussed how the Biden administration shoved $20 billion in climate grants out the door before leaving office.
“Get the money out as fast as possible before they [Trump Administration] come in … it’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” Efron said in footage captured by Project Veritas.
EPA administrator Lee Zeldin has been vocal about the “gold bars,” since being confirmed to his post. He told the Post on Monday that the “Biden EPA ‘gold bar’ scheme was designed to limit government oversight while doling out funds to far-left organizations pushing DEI and Environmental Justice.”
“Of the eight pass-through entities that received funding from the pot of $20 billion in tax dollars, various recipients have shown very little qualification to handle a single dollar, let alone several billions of dollars,” he added. “I have zero tolerance for waste and abuse at the EPA.”
One of the organizations that received money was a group tied to failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stacey-abrams-linked-group-received-2b-from-biden-admin-slush-fund-doge-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">received $2 billion</a> despite having raised almost no funds the first three months it operated. It had only existed for six months when it received money from the Biden administration.

Climate is “nowhere near the world’s biggest problem,” and has some benefits worth considering when evaluating its cost, according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright.
Wright appeared on Fox Business on Wednesday and said that the narrative pushed by leftist environmentalists has significant flaws. Wright, who is a longtime critic of radical environmentalism, said that the backlash against fossil fuels inspired by overwrought claims about climate change is unwarranted.
“Everything in life has tradeoffs, but a warmer planet with CO2 is better for growing plants. The world has been getting greener for decades – 14% more greenery around the planet today than there was 40 years ago,” Wright said, before pointing out that “far more people die of the cold than die of the heat.”
“Everything has a tradeoff, but, yeah, there’s pluses to global warming as well as negatives. But the bottom line is it&#8217;s nowhere near the world’s biggest problem today, not even close,” he added.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Secretary Wright joins FOX Business&#039;s Stuart Varney - February 19th, 2025" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GsijyIafpPA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
President Donald Trump nominated Wright to serve as Secretary of Energy with a background working in the oil and gas and nuclear industries. Wright is in charge of implementing a key plank of Trump’s agenda, a return to American energy dominance through oil and gas production and other energy sources that “can lower the cost of energy, expand job opportunities, and have more stuff made in America,” as Wright said in the interview.
Wright has spoken much more harshly about certain policies crafted on the assumption that climate change is an existential threat. On Monday, the energy secretary spoke via videolink to a conference in London and called the push to get to net zero carbon emissions within the next few decades a “sinister goal.”
&#8220;Net Zero 2050 is a sinister goal. It&#8217;s a terrible goal,&#8221; Wright <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us-energy-secretary-attacks-sinister-net-zero-goals-singling-out-britain-2025-02-17/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;The aggressive pursuit of it – and you&#8217;re sitting in a country that has aggressively pursued this goal – has not delivered any benefits, but it&#8217;s delivered tremendous costs.”

Trump Energy Chief: Climate Change ‘Nowhere Near The World’s Biggest Problem’

Department of Energy

With the signing of six executive orders on the first day of his second term, President Donald Trump has ushered in a new era of climate realism and energy security.
In electing President Trump, the American people have rejected the Left’s virtue-signaling climate policies that crush consumers, stifle innovation, and forfeit energy independence and abundant natural resources. So long, increased energy prices, overbearing regulations, and reliance on hostile foreign countries.
The president’s emphasis on undoing these destructive energy and climate policies signifies a long overdue shift from climate alarmism to commonsense policy. Gone are the days of moralistic global climate alliances and vacuous Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) programs that function as thinly veiled fronts for woke corporate capitalism.
The <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-energy-emergency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Declaring a National Energy Emergency</a> executive order allows the administration to expand the nation’s plentiful energy infrastructure and develop a “reliable, diversified, and affordable supply of energy” to bolster national and economic security.
Dependence on other nations for energy allows them to weaponize our reliance for coercive purposes and wreak havoc on our markets. Germany provides an example of what to avoid. Dependence on Russian natural gas resulted in electricity surging more than 600 percent in the months following the invasion of Ukraine. Although prices have now returned to pre-invasion levels, “green” energy policies such as <a href="https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-g-n/germany#:~:text=The%20country's%20final%20three%20reactors,power%20of%20veto%20to%20both" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decommissioning</a> its last remaining nuclear power plants in 2023 are largely responsible for electricity prices being more than 3x the cost in 2019. Energy independence prevents this threat while unleashing supply diversity and competition, leading to greater affordability, accessibility, and innovation while stimulating job growth and exports to trade partners.
A second order, “<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/unleashing-american-energy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unleashing American Energy</a>” outlines a comprehensive energy strategy to promote energy production on Federal lands and waters, increase mineral processing, examine current energy regulations to ensure proper legal grounding, eliminate the “electric vehicle mandate” and restrictions on household appliances which burdened consumers, raised prices, and prohibited free market competition, and ensure public access to and scientific analysis of executive agency energy decisions.
His other orders include freeing <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/unleashing-alaskas-extraordinary-resource-potential/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alaska’s natural resources</a> from oppressive restrictions and encouraging exploration of the state’s Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) potential, restricting inefficient and expensive <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/temporary-withdrawal-of-all-areas-on-the-outer-continental-shelf-from-offshore-wind-leasing-and-review-of-the-federal-governments-leasing-and-permitting-practices-for-wind-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wind power projects</a>, <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/delivering-emergency-price-relief-for-american-families-and-defeating-the-cost-of-living-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cutting “coercive” federal climate policies</a> and oppressive regulations that only burden consumers through increased cost of transportation, housing, food, and fuel, and <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/putting-america-first-in-international-environmental-agreements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formally withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Agreement</a>, an international alliance that disproportionately affected the United States and steered “American taxpayer dollars to countries that do not require, or merit, financial assistance.”
These orders do not represent the rash, inflammatory actions of a climate denier, but the calculated, prudent strategies of a strong, sensible leader. Together, the president’s energy policies show a clear commitment to putting American taxpayers’ financial and physical security first while projecting a strong, independent national image on the world stage.
And most taxpayers agree that it’s time for change on climate policy. Climate change is a <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/02/06/economy-remains-the-publics-top-policy-priority-covid-19-concerns-decline-again/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">low priority</a> for the American people, but energy affordability and stability is an absolute necessity. In 2023, 75% of Americans surveyed said strengthening the economy was the most important policy objective to them and 52% said improving the energy system was their top priority. This also compares to how almost two-thirds of Americans said dealing with climate change is not important to them.
Even America’s largest banking establishments, at times strong proponents of climate wokeism, began <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/jpmorgan-says-leave-net-zero-banking-alliance-2025-01-07/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulling away from climate alliances</a> in the weeks leading up to President Trump’s inauguration. While they have much more to do along these lines, such actions are indicative of the shifting arc.
These trends reflect what many scientists have been arguing for years despite resistance from the Left. Most climate fearmongering has never materialized. Indeed, catastrophic predictions from the past 50 years have not been fulfilled, as the <a href="https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-of-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wrong Again Report</a> by Myron Ebell and Steve Milloy demonstrates. Climate alarmists consistently continue to be wrong and have truly never been able to make any scientific connections between what they are asking America and the world to do. To put it bluntly, as 2022 Nobel Physics laureate <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/11/16/john-clauser-nobel-climate-denial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Clauser declared,</a> climate change is not and has never been an existential threat.
President Trump’s climate policy agenda recognizes this reality and promises to enact commonsense change grounded in science, realism, and prudence, putting American consumers first and challenging the misguided ideological conformity prevalent among climate-forward countries. His executive orders are sending a strong message to American companies engaging in climate moralism and ESG practices: disrupting the American economy for virtue-signaling programs is unnecessary, unacceptable, and immoral.
But there is still much to be done to overcome the drastic effects the previous administration’s climate extremism had on the economy and the American consumer. Congress will have to work alongside the president to swiftly pass legislation that adequately protects American citizens and promotes U.S. energy stability and prosperity.
The president is right – America is in the middle of an energy crisis caused by an epidemic of climate moralism and extremism. Yet thanks to this new crusade of commonsense policy, American energy has the chance to reach its full potential – making it secure, independent, and prosperous once again.

A growing number of corporations are exiting a left-wing “climate cartel” amid pressure from congressional Republicans, The Daily Wire learned on Friday.
The committee has been investigating organizations like the Net Zero Asset Managers (NZAM) initiative and Climate Action 100+ which it says have worked together with corporations to push leftist ESG goals and decarbonization of the American economy. Earlier this month, NZAM paused its work after a flurry of high-profile companies, like BlackRock, left the company.
The exodus from NZAM also includes companies like AllianceBernstein, Northern Trust Asset Management, HASI, Muzinich and Co., Breckinridge Capital Advisors, Stonepeak, V-Square Quantitative Management, and SKY Harbor Capital Management, the committee told The Daily Wire.
Many of the companies, including Northern Trust Asset Management and SKY Harbor Capital Management, left after being contacted by the committee.
“More than 70 companies have left woke ESG organizations like NZAM and Climate Action 100+ since the Committee’s investigation started,” Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) told The Daily Wire. “This a huge win for freedom and American prosperity. All U.S. financial institutions should follow suit and abandon the climate cartel.”
At one point, NZAM, which says its goal is to push net zero greenhouse gas emission by 2050 or sooner, boasted its members controlled over $57 trillion in assets. The company has now suspended all activities following the departures.
BlackRock, which controls over $11 trillion in assets, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blackrock-exits-climate-activist-group-after-pressure-from-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left NZAM</a> on January 9, one day before a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-jim-jordan-demands-60-companies-provide-answers-on-climate-activism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deadline</a> given by the company by the Judiciary Committee to respond to questions about whether its investment policies were impacted by its involvement with climate groups.
<a href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?_gl=1*1lail3r*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3MzIyMDEyNDkuQ2owS0NRaUEwZnU1QmhEUUFSSXNBTVhVQk9JSkM0VnNsMFVreURxYXUxVWVEVWdOdjZkNzR2Y1pEeEZQeHVBcGl2R3BLaTdBMjVzT1p5TWFBdG1nRUFMd193Y0I.*_gcl_au*NDUxNDQ0NzYwLjE3MzY3ODI2NDY.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczNjk1NzYwMy4zNDAuMS4xNzM2OTU3NzE2LjYwLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">CELEBRATE #47 WITH 47% OFF DAILYWIRE+ MEMBERSHIPS + A FREE $20 GIFT</a>
In a letter explaining its withdrawal, BlackRock executives admitted that the company&#8217;s involvement with NZAM “caused confusion regarding BlackRock’s practices and subjected us to legal inquiries from various public officials.”
“Our participation in NZAM didn’t impact the way we managed client portfolios,” the company said. “Therefore, our departure doesn’t change the way we develop products and solutions for clients or how we manage their portfolios.”
The Judiciary Committee has been investigating the cooperation between climate groups and corporations for the last two years and released a <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-judiciary.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/2024-06-11%20Climate%20Control%20-%20Exposing%20the%20Decarbonization%20Collusion%20in%20Environmental%2C%20Social%2C%20and%20Governance%20(ESG)%20Investing.pdf">report</a> called “Climate Control: Exposing The Decarbonization Collusion in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Investing,” in June.
Companies like BlackRock have also been under pressure at the state level. In November, 11 Republican attorneys general, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-ags-sue-blackrock-say-it-has-conspired-against-coal-production" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a lawsuit</a> in November against BlackRock over its involvement with groups like NZAM.

Watchdog group Consumers&#8217; Research warned butter giant <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/land-olakes-drops-its-racist-native-american-packaging-after-nearly-100-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Land O’Lakes</a> on Friday that its climate-focused initiatives could expose it to lawsuits that may raise costs for customers, according to a letter first shared with The Daily Wire. 
In a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/01/Land-O-Lakes-Industry-Warning-Letter.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> to Land O’Lakes CEO Beth Ford, Consumers&#8217; Research Executive Director Will Hild said that the agricultural company should stop pushing net-zero initiatives and focus on satisfying customers. Hild said the climate targets could create legal risks, pointing to a <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2024/attorney-general-james-sues-worlds-largest-beef-producer-misrepresenting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuit</a> filed against meat processor JBS by New York Attorney General Letitia James over its climate promises. 
&#8220;Consumers’ Research is concerned that it is only a matter of time before national grocers, food producers, and food retailers, including Land O&#8217; Lakes, Inc., are subjected to state actions targeting their unrealistic net-zero commitments, as has happened with JBS,&#8221; Hild wrote.
Hild’s letter pointed to multiple Land O&#8217;Lakes climate goals, which closely mirror net-zero targets set by JBS. These goals, featured in its <a href="https://careers.landolakesinc.com/us/en/blogarticle/2021-esg-report-commitment-to-social-responsibility" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021 ESG report</a> and 2023 <a href="https://api.landolakesinc.com/getmedia/8eea43e3-8d04-49ef-bf06-33204ed772d3/1224-lol-cir-digital.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Community Impact report</a>, include reducing direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030, and net-zero in 2050.
&#8220;As this comparison makes plain, Land O&#8217; Lakes’ statements on emissions reduction goals expose the company to the same type of litigation JBS currently faces,&#8221; Hild wrote.
James has alleged that JBS’s net-zero target is “greenwashing” that “exploits the pocketbooks of everyday Americans and the promise of a healthy planet for future generations” by misleading customers. 
&#8220;The JBS lawsuit by General James has made plain that there is risk lurking in the ESG and sustainability commitments of countless grocers and food retailers. There is no better time than now for Land O&#8217; Lakes to course correct, remove this ESG risk, and pivot back to a pro-consumer approach to its business,&#8221; Hild wrote.
The letter went out the same time as Consumers&#8217; Research sent out a “woke alert” detailing how Land O’Lakes has embraced a variety of other DEI and ESG policies. 
For example, the company detailed in its 2021 ESG report that it had mandated “unconscious bias training for all people leaders,” noted that the company has an annual DEI-themed summit, and boasted that it scored 100% when ranked by the leftist Human Rights Campaign. 
Its 2023 community impact report also included a bar measuring how many non-white males it had working for the company.

The report said that the company wants to &#8220;expand supplier equity&#8221; and has instituted a &#8220;Supplier Diversity Program.&#8221; This program is for the company to focus on working with businesses owned by women, minorities, people who identify as gay or transgender, and disabled people.

In addition to its net-zero goals, Land O&#8217;Lakes also pushes several climate focused initiatives.
For example, the community impact report said that the company was “committed to helping our member-owners reduce the environmental impact of farming, especially the impacts of on-farm greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions” through its Dairy 2025 initiative. As part of this project, the company hires consultants to measure the farmers&#8217; “milk emission factor.”
In 2020, the Minnesota-based Land O&#8217;Lakes dropped the American Indian woman who had adorned its packaging for nearly 100 years after some people complained the logo was racist.

A coalition of energy experts on Thursday urged the incoming Trump administration to take dramatic action to ditch regulations imposed by the Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/environmental-protection-agency-epa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Environmental Protection Agency</a> and unleash American energy, according to a memo exclusively shared with The Daily Wire. 
Led by the American Energy Institute, a group of energy experts sent a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/01/Top-10-EPA-Fact-Sheet_v2.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">memo</a> to Trump EPA nominee and former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin ahead of his Senate hearing, outlining 10 steps they think he can take to roll back EPA abuse. The memo was also sent to Trump&#8217;s transition team and co-signed by the Energy &amp; Environment Legal Institute, Truth in Energy and Climate, and the American Lands Council. 
“For over five decades, the EPA has amassed a troubling record of overregulation, political abuse, and mission drift, often stifling innovation, burdening the economy, and undermining public trust,” American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac told The Daily Wire. “This plan lays the groundwork for realigning the agency’s focus to maintaining a safe environment while bolstering America’s energy and industrial production, reducing consumer costs, and promoting government accountability.”
The recommendations include freezing all EPA activities pending further review, prohibiting EPA staff from communicating with outside groups about agency activities, terminating all external science advisors, revising air quality and emissions standards, ending President Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandate, ending policies based on climate alarmism, reforming EPA risk assessment procedures, eliminating the Office of Environmental Justice, and settling litigation. 
Many of the memo’s recommendations entail rolling back policies the Biden administration has implemented over the last four years. For example, the memo says that the Trump administration should “reduce pointlessly burdensome air quality” regulations imposed by Biden. 
&#8220;Reforming the EPA&#8217;s process toward risk assessment would help it to focus on real-world scenarios,&#8221; the memo says.
&#8220;Require data used as a basis for regulating be made publicly available during rulemaking,&#8221; the experts recommended. &#8220;Require cost-benefit analyses based on actual and demonstrable vs. imaginary costs and benefits.&#8221;

“The EPA needs more draining than just about any other part of the Swamp,” Myron Ebell, chair of the American Lands Council and former leader of Trump’s EPA transition told The Daily Wire. “Biden&#8217;s greenhouse gas regulations on power plants are raising electric rates and making the grid less reliable, so Trump&#8217;s EPA must start undoing them immediately.”
Another former Trump EPA transition team member who signed onto the memo was Steve Milloy, now a senior fellow at the Energy &amp; Environment Legal Institute. He predicted that the agency would be one of the most resistant to the president’s agenda. 
“EPA has a 54-year history of junk science-fueled, job killing environmental overregulation. It is chock-full of anti-Trump ‘resistance’ and will be the toughest agency for President Trump to rein in,” he said. 
Zeldin’s hearing before the Senate Committee on Public Works and the Environment is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. EST.
