CLIMATE: Trump is right

Have you ever heard anyone say that 97 percent of scientists agree that man is the chief cause of global warming and that this warming is going to end in disaster? Actually less than 1 percent happen to agree on the cause of climate change.

Myron Ebell was chosen by Donald Trump last September to head up the transition team dealing with the EPA. Now that Trump is in office, he is proposing a 31 percent reduction in EPA spending and in personnel; not popular with those who work there.

The Paris Agreement was signed by President Obama, but not confirmed by the Senate. It is therefore an unconstitutional agreement. We need to cancel the Paris Agreement.

We must ask our congressmen to end the Endangerment Finding. This came from the Supreme Court case Mass vs. EPA. It “determined” that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, but actually carbon dioxide is required by all life on Earth.

One thing that Trump has promised to do is to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C. For one thing there are just too many lawyers in our government. Ever try to fire a lawyer? Not an easy task.

These are things that Congress must deal with. They are important issues and removing them will remove many regulations that restrict the advancement of this great nation. As someone said: Let us Make America Great Again, Beginning in Idaho. We can do it if we work together.

Many people believe things about science that are obviously not true. You need to take time to seek the truth as it is available to anyone who wants it.
