The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to repeal the Obama-era “scientific” finding that classified carbon dioxide as a threat to public health and welfare, and empowered the federal government to unilaterally, and virtually without limit, regulate the economy.

In the end, the endless string of chilling forecasts failed to terrorize people out of modernity.
