A really heartending article in Bloomberg this afternoon caught my attention.
My goodness – a cri de coeur of such plaintive appeal and bereavement that I had to think twice about sharing it with you, tender-hearted friends, knowing what it might do to your gentle selves.
But here’s the headline anyway, as I know you’re made of sterner stuff than your average bear and can handle the cruelties of the world.
Years of Climate Action Demolished in Days: A Timeline
Sad, no?
Trump’s been in a mood, and the Green weenies are feeling assaulted by the speed at which 47 moved when he hit the Oval Office.
We’ve long known President Donald Trump is a climate-change denier. And we knew that, during last year’s campaign, Trump promised to make the dreams of fossil-fuel tycoons reality if they bankrolled his candidacy. But nothing could have prepared us for the breadth or intensity of the assault on climate action that Trump has unleashed during his first months back in office.
Gosh, are they ticked about every last agency being de-climatized. Or mostly the climate funding being stripped out.
…Every agency with any connection to the climate (meaning basically all of them) has been involved, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Defense Department. International cooperation by NASA scientists, UN diplomats and more has been forbidden, and Trump appointees are meddling in state and local efforts to manage their own environments. Elon Musk’s crew, intent on dismantling the apparatus of government, has frozen research and funding and put vital expertise on the street.
Mostly, they’re mad about the climate change funding being stripped out.
I can’t screencap all their nifty, sad charts, but you can get an idea of how much time and effort they put into this woeful article bemoaning the wreckage of the Green grift in the wake of the Trump ascendance.
The Trump administration is undoing years of climate action in a matter of days.

It’s as hysterical a piece of work as I’ve ever seen, but it really does come in handy for confirming that President Trump has been keeping his promises as far as the climate change industry goes.
They literally have created a chart that tells you what number day of Trump’s administration he did what to what, which took away what, and affecting what, with multiple entries for some days.
Here are a couple of lines:
16 NOAA Nominee to lead the agency was Trump’s “Sharpiegate” enabler Catastrophes 17 State Rescinded $4 billion in pledges to the UN Green Climate Fund International cooperation
52 days of this.
I’ve written a ton about the climate industry churning through tax dollars over the past few years, no more so than the rush to get as much out the door as possible in the remaining months before Trump came in.
That these hardcore advocates are melting down only two months into this administration is telling both how effective the Trump efforts have been and how deep the rot went.
In my VIP post this afternoon, I used a clip of Maine’s Senator Angus King giving Tulsi Gabbard the business because she’d dropped ‘climate change’ from the list of critical national security threats. He read her the riot act. She patiently explained how she thought there were more immediate things she and her department should be concerned with and spending American tax dollars to ward against first.
A day or so ago, we had another vivid reminder of just how lucky we were that November 5 turned out the way it did, courtesy of a painful conversation between two former progressive congress members.
Sacked squadders Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman were reminiscing about their efforts to save Mother Earth and how frustrating it had been to watch the price tag for Biden’s initial Build Back Better Act get whittled down to a fraction of what they had initially wanted. They had big plans. Big, BIG plans.
Ex-Squad Reps. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman claimed that Democrats had originally wanted to pass $10 trillion in spending as part of former President Joe Biden’s doomed Build Back Better (BBB) Act.
“We were at ten [trillion] and then it went down to six and down to three and down to 1.7, I believe,” Bush said on the “Bowman and Bush” podcast on Mar. 14.
The two were reflecting on the collapse of Biden’s ambitious Build Back Better Act, which called for hundreds of billions of dollars of investments in “social infrastructure” programs such as universal childcare, an expansion of the child tax credit, climate change initiatives, and low-cost housing.
“We wanted to make sure that the climate investment was there because many of the groups were saying this isn’t enough on climate… so I was getting attacked for not asking for more,” Bush said.
TEN TRILLION DOLLARS
Former Squad member, Rep Cori Bush, tells other former Rep. Jamaal Bowman that Dems were planning on a $10 trillion bill to “fight climate change.”

HOLY SMOKES
They’re lunatics who have no concept of what a number is and where the money has to come from to become the number they pull out of their hats.
There is more WAAH in the offing for the sad sacks of Bloomberg.
OH NOES
NIH Ends Future Funding to Study the Health Effects of Climate Change
It’s unclear whether the guidance will impact active grants, but it appears to halt opportunities for future studies. One climate health expert said the directive would have a “devastating” impact on much-needed research.
The guidance, which was distributed to several staffers last week, comes on the back of multiple new directives to cut off NIH funding to grants that are focused on subjects that are viewed as conflicting with the Trump administration’s priorities, such as gender identity, LGBTQ+ issues, vaccine hesitancy, and diversity, equity and inclusion.
While it’s unclear whether the climate guidance will impact active grants and lead to funding terminations, the directive appears to halt opportunities for future funding of studies or academic programs focused on the health effects of climate change.
“This is an administration where industry voices rule and prevail,” said Dr. Lisa Patel, executive director of The Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, a coalition of medical professionals that raises awareness about the health effects of climate change. “This is an agenda item for the fossil fuel industry, and this administration is doing what the fossil fuel industry wants.”
She called the new guidance “catastrophic” and said it would have a “devastating” impact on much-needed research.
I have no doubt they will not be including what actually does kill people, which is what the NIH is rumored to be in business to look into.
Great. When you look at what kills Americans… It’s not climate. Priorities people!!!

Fifty-some-odd days into this term, there is chaos in the climate ranks and already untold billions, if not trillions, in actual and near-miss savings.
And they’ve barely begun turning over the rocks.
Climate change is an apocalyptic threat, they said. It wasn’t — obviously. And now that Trump has exposed the “Inflation Reduction Act” as a grift, and Greta has moved on to Palestine, climate change is fading from view like overpopulation and other past environmental scares. pic.twitter.com/EozzI29EQf
