On December 4, 54 Democrat members of Congress sent President Joe Biden a letter asking him to authorize the expenditure of billions of dollars earmarked for the infamous “Inflation Reduction Act” before leaving office. Such action, they say, would “protect working-class Americans from climate change, pollution, and high energy costs.”
Not a single Republican member of Congress signed the letter, and it is easy to understand why.
Donald Trump was right when he said, years before he first ran for President in 2015, that global warming is a scam. While scientific interest in the phenomenon of climate change is real and ongoing, the emergence of a greedy and overwhelmingly taxpayer-funded global warming industry is the scam. Fake science fuels public concern and special-interest groups conspire with dirty politicians to cash in. It’s utter nonsense, and the American people know it is.
The “Inflation Reduction Act” — the source of the cash that the Democrat politicians are so eager to spend before Trump arrives — is actually the failed “New Green Deal” rejected once by the public and relabeled and narrowly passed by a wholly partisan vote. It lavishes taxpayer money on solar and wind power and electric vehicles, all of which are losing propositions on technological and economic grounds.
Voters turned out for Donald Trump and returned Republican control of the Senate (and maintained it in the House) because they saw the ruinous effects of the climate change scam.
Credible real scientists — not Al Gore and not “Bill Nye the Science Guy” — never fell for the myth that the human impact on climate was any more than trivial, hardly detectable above the background of natural variability. The most comprehensive and authoritative study on the subject released by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) blew up the case for man-made global warming.
In just the past few days, The Heritage Foundation has released three remarkable “special reports” on the science behind the climate change scam. They update the NIPCC reports and come to the same conclusion: There is no “climate crisis,” and no case for spending billions (or even one cent) more on the fool’s errand of trying to change the weather.

Whatever billions of dollars once appropriated for the “Inflation Reduction Act” are yet unspent should be returned to the Treasurer, or better yet, to taxpayers. Climate change is not a crisis, but wasteful spending in the last days of a failed administration could be.
