POLITICO calls it! ‘Trump’s latest climate rollback makes it all but official’ – ‘We’ve lost the culture war on climate’ – Obama advisor: ‘The left strategy on climate needs to be rethought’

POLITICO - June 11, 2025: Excerpt: "Trump’s latest climate rollback makes it all but official: The United States is giving up on trying to stop the planet’s warming. ... While the Trump-era GOP’s hardening opposition to climate action has been a major reason for the lack of consensus, one former Democratic adviser said her own party needs to find a message that resonates with broad swaths of the electorate."

“There’s no way around it: The left strategy on climate needs to be rethought,” said Jody Freeman, who served as counselor for energy and climate change in President Barack Obama’s White House. “We’ve lost the culture war on climate, and we have to figure out a way for it to not be a niche leftist movement.”

Climate Depot's  Marc Morano statement: "Politico is finally calling it! The era of climate bullcrap is entering the dustbin of history. Our long national nightmare has ended.

No longer do U.S. citizens have to listen to politicians drone on about banning cars, meat restrictions, bans on home appliances, 'carbon passports' for travel, energy restrictions, clothing made from human hair, eating bugs, lab-grown meat, UN climate pacts, Green New Deals -- all to allegedly alter the Earth's temperature 50 or 100 years from now and save us from an unspecified 'apocolypse.'

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Come on!!!  Democrats are never wrong, at least to the MSM.  They won't change a thing and prove to Politico and the world, they were right to begin with. 10631

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
It has been a long time coming, but breaking the chokehold on the narrative has done wonders for getting people to realize this isn't some looming apocalypse, but rather a moneymaking scheme for some folks who can pimp panic for profit.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Climate change is just one more lunatic hoax with the intent of making money with the scam by the likes of people like Al Gore.  Remember his Cap and Trade legislation he was pushing with Obama, which would have made both of them billionaires?  Thank God that legislation never saw the light of day.  Ever since then, they have been pushing their green energy nonsense, and it is exactly that, nonsense.

Even before Obama AlGore was pushing for the Midwest Carbon Exchange and requiring the purchase of 'carbon credits' for industry to continue. (Before that, it was the Kyoto Accords). This has been going on for a long time. Had the 'carbon credit' trade been required, Soros, Strong, and Gore stood to make trillions. As it turned out, that did not happen, but farmers I know sold their 'carbon credits' to middlemen and pocketed a check for just farming.

I remember Sheryl Crow making a big stink, almost literally, about using a single square of toilet paper to "save the earth". I called it then, this climate stuff will undo the left. Imagine a population with hands covered in shit before work, it'd piss me off for sure.

Climate should never have been a "culture war", but a balanced, rational, scientific discussion.

Money in the middle changed all that.
