Zeldin keynoting a conference held by a fossil fuel-funded disinformation factory and celebrating the gutting of the endangerment finding is a betrayal of the EPA's core mission. Dismissing climate science as elite groupthink doesn't make extreme heat, wildfires and stronger hurricanes disappear. Handing polluters a free pass isn't bold leadership, it's regulatory abdication dressed up as populism.
Zeldin's speech was an overdue rejection of climate alarmism that has weaponized science to justify billions in wasteful grants and economy-crushing regulations. Rescinding the endangerment finding restored lawful limits on executive power and ended the era of unelected bureaucrats dictating energy policy through fear. Real environmental stewardship means realism, not panic theater that kneecaps American industry.
