You are absolutely right. President Trump has said: "Burn even more fossil fuels" to solve the problem.

President Lincoln might have said: "Democracy 'Yes'; Monarchs 'No'." Monarch is defined as a sole and absolute ruler of a state or nation.

Headline: In Game-Changing Climate Rollback, E.P.A. Aims to Kill a Bedrock Scientific Finding

The proposal is President Trump’s most consequential step yet to derail federal climate efforts and appears to represent a shift toward outright denial of the scientific consensus.

Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said on Tuesday the Trump administration would revoke the scientific determination that underpins the government’s legal authority to combat climate change.

Speaking at a truck dealership in Indianapolis, Mr. Zeldin said the E.P.A. planned to rescind the 2009 declaration, known as the endangerment finding, which concluded that planet-warming greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health. The Obama and Biden administrations used that determination to set strict limits on greenhouse gas emissions from cars, power plants and other industrial sources of pollution.
