EPA Chief Lee Zeldin to Rescind ‘Holy Grail of the Climate Change Religion’ That Led to $1 Trillion in Regulations

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin on Tuesday released the agency’s proposal to rescind what he has described as the “holy grail of the climate change religion,” which has led to over a trillion dollars in regulatory impact.

Zeldin made the announcement to repeal the Obama-era Endangerment Finding at an auto dealer in Indiana alongside U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Gov. Mike Braun (R-IN), Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita, and American Trucking Association President and CEO Chris Spear.

The EPA has said the Endangerment Finding has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regulations, including the Biden-Harris administration’s electric vehicle mandate. Scrapping the so-called Endangerment Finding would repeal all of the greenhouse emissions regulations for motor vehicles and engines and give Americans consumer choice.

The Endangerment Finding created the legal basis for the agency to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, believing that the emissions serve as an alleged threat to public health and welfare.

Zeldin explained in a Breitbart Fight Club Roundtable that the Endangerment Finding never made a “straight-line conclusion” that carbon dioxide from motor vehicle engines caused “endangerment.” He described this finding as the “holy grail of the climate change religion.”

Trump’s EPA Continues Biden Admin Appeal of Historic Fluoride Ruling

While claiming to support the MAHA movement, the EPA under Trump has now taken steps to undo last year’s historic ruling which found that fluoride poses a risk to the neurodevelopment of children.

On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency officially appealed a federal court ruling which ordered the agency to take action against the risks posed by fluoridation chemicals.

The EPA staked their appeal on three main arguments, including a belief that the plaintiffs’ lack standing, the judge improperly considered new evidence, and the district court went beyond its authority in its management of the case.

The EPA’s appeal is the latest development in a nearly decade-long legal saga between the EPA, and parents of children impacted by water fluoridation, as well as the Fluoride Action Network (FAN). The lawsuit began following the EPA’s 2016 decision to deny the plaintiff’s petition under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). In September 2024, Judge Edward Chen found that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligram per liter “poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children”.

Chen said the risk is sufficient to require the EPA to enact a regulatory response. However, he said that TSCA only granted him the authority to direct the EPA to take action against the risk, but not to prescribe the specifics of its response, which could range from a national warning to an outright ban.

In the final days of the Biden administration the EPA filed their appeal, and now, under leadership appointed by President Donald Trump, the EPA has decided to continue fighting the judge’s ruling.

EPA confirms existence of GEOENGINEERING programs, validating long-held public concerns

  • The U.S. EPA officially confirmed the existence of government-backed geoengineering programs, reversing years of denial. Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a transparency initiative detailing solar radiation modification (SRM) and its risks.
  • SRM involves injecting reflective particles (e.g., sulfur dioxide) to cool the planet, but the EPA warns it may harm the ozone layer, disrupt weather, damage crops and cause acid rain. Neurological risks, like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are also linked to nano-aluminum particles from atmospheric spraying.
  • The EPA admitted tracking private actors engaged in geoengineering, suggesting undisclosed corporate or international programs. Weather modification techniques like cloud seeding (using silver iodide) were also confirmed.
  • The disclosure sparked debate, with some lawmakers pushing for bans while critics dismissed extreme weather links. Skeptics argue the move distracts from broader climate policy failures, blurring lines between fact and conspiracy theories.
  • The admission raises concerns about undisclosed programs and long-term consequences. While the EPA denies large-scale SRM operations, public distrust persists, leaving citizens to navigate potential health and environmental risks. The era of denial has ended, but the full impact remains uncertain.

In a dramatic shift, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially acknowledged the existence of government-backed geoengineering programs – a revelation that confirms what skeptics and concerned citizens have alleged for decades.

On Thursday, July 16, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the agency’s new transparency initiative. The agency published detailed resources on geoengineering and contrails while admitting the potential dangers of such programs. The EPA’s admission marks a stunning reversal from years of official denial and ridicule directed at those who questioned the unnatural patterns in the skies above them.

For years, Americans who pointed to persistent white trails crisscrossing the atmosphere were dismissed as conspiracy theorists. Now, the EPA has conceded that geoengineering – specifically solar radiation modification (SRM) – is not only real, but poses serious environmental and health risks.

Trump EPA To Remove “Greenhouse Gases” From List Of Dangerous Pollutants

The Trump administration is acting to overturn a key 2009 Environmental Protection Agency finding used to justify most federal government regulations regarding climate change.

The EPA has crafted a proposal that would undo the government’s “endangerment finding”, a determination that pollutants from burning fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding has long served as the foundation for a host of policies and rules to address climate change. The EPA’s proposal to revoke the finding is currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

In 2007, the Supreme Court found in Massachusetts v. EPA that the agency is required to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. Then, in 2009 during the Obama administration, the EPA declared greenhouse gases in the atmosphere were a hazard to people. 

“This long-overdue finding cements 2009’s place in history as the year when the United States Government began seriously addressing the challenge of greenhouse gas pollution and seizing the opportunity of clean-energy reform,” then-EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said in announcing the decision.

EPA Defends Plan to Gut Key Office Studying Health Risks of Pesticides and Other Toxins

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will move forward with plans to gut the agency’s office that studies how air pollution, drinking water contamination and toxic chemicals, including glyphosate, affect human health, the agency announced Friday.

As part of its “reduction in force,” which reportedly will cut $748.8 million from the agency’s budget, the EPA is eliminating the Office of Research and Development (ORD).

ORD is strictly a scientific research organization. It has no regulatory responsibilities, which means it isn’t subject to industry influence in the same way as other sectors of the EPA.

As a result, ORD often reaches different conclusions than other EPA research groups, according to Bill Freese, science director at the Center for Food Safety.

The office’s findings underlie many of the policies and regulations issued by the agency. Its research is often used to justify stricter rules, prompting opposition from pesticide and chemical manufacturers and other industries — and even from other sections within the agency that are allegedly captured by the chemical industry.

For example, ORD identified glyphosate as a carcinogen when the EPA’s pesticide wing argued it was safe.

Trump’s DOJ Says EPA Will Appeal Landmark Fluoride Ruling – Working For Corporations Instead Of The People?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) plans to appeal a decision last year by a federal court ordering the agency to address the risks of water fluoridation, according to Michael Connett, lead attorney for plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

“Rather than use the court’s decision as an opportunity to finally end water fluoridation (as most of Europe has already done), the EPA will spend its time legally challenging the court’s order,” Connett wrote in a post on X.

The American Chemistry Council, a trade organization representing the chemical industry, and the American Fluoridation Society, a fluoridation advocacy organization that touts its work undermining local efforts to oppose water fluoridation, filed motions seeking to submit amicus briefs supporting the EPA appeal, he said.

Connett told The Defender that the American Dental Association also plans to file a brief.

The EPA said it will file the appeal on July 18, after which the case will go to a three-judge panel in the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. The appeals court will receive briefs from both sides, along with any amicus briefs, and hear oral arguments before issuing its decision.

The Fluoride Action Network (FAN), one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the EPA, said on X that the appeal was “a very disappointing move by EPA.” “A few months ago, @epaleezeldin went on a public speaking tour with @SecKennedy to address why fluoride needs to come OUT of the water. Now the EPA will appeal to keep fluoride IN drinking water.”

Connett noted that the decision to appeal came from the solicitor general at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), who reports to Pam Bondi and the White House, not by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has vocally opposed water fluoridation, but lacks the authority to end it.

EPA admits geoengineering programs exist: Government finally confirms what “conspiracy theorists” knew all along

In a stunning reversal that validates decades of public concern, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has officially confirmed what millions of Americans have been reporting with their own eyes – geoengineering programs are real, active, and potentially dangerous.

For years, anyone questioning the persistent white trails crisscrossing our skies was dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist.”  Not anymore.  The EPA just dropped a transparency bomb that changes everything.

Federal agency admits to “significant reservations” about sky spraying programs

In an unprecedented move, the EPA released comprehensive online resources addressing two explosive topics the agency has avoided for decades: geoengineering and contrails.  Administrator Zeldin’s statement should send chills down every spine:

“EPA shares the significant reservations many Americans have when it comes to geoengineering activities.”

Translation: The government is worried about its own programs.

The toxic truth about solar geoengineering exposed

The EPA’s new resources reveal the terrifying scope of solar geoengineering activities – programs designed to cool Earth by reflecting sunlight back to space through injecting gases like sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere, where they form reflective particles.

Sound familiar?  This is exactly what concerned citizens have been documenting and reporting for years, only to be ridiculed by mainstream media and dismissed by officials.

The EPA now admits these programs could cause:

  • Ozone layer depletion – destroying Earth’s natural radiation shield
  • Crop damage – threatening global food security
  • Weather pattern disruption – creating unpredictable climate chaos
  • Acid rain formation – poisoning water supplies and ecosystems

Decades of denial finally crumble

The agency’s admission represents a seismic shift from decades of official denial.  The EPA’s new webpage “addresses head-on various claims” about the intentional release of dangerous chemicals or biological agents at high altitudes.

While debunking some theories, they’re simultaneously confirming that geoengineering programs do exist and pose serious environmental and health risks.

Dr. Russell Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon, has been warning about this exact scenario for decades.  His research shows that nano-aluminum particles from atmospheric spraying programs bypass natural barriers and travel directly into brain tissue, potentially triggering Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

EPA’s Lee Zeldin publishes facts page debunking claims that ‘chemtrails’ alter weather

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin rolled out a new facts page Thursday debunking wild claims — including from his fellow Republicans — that so-called “chemtrails” are being sprayed from aircraft to change the weather, alter populations or even control people’s minds.

In a video message accompanying the launch, Zeldin said the new webpages were written to inform “anyone who’s ever looked up to the streaks in the sky and asked, ‘What the heck is going on?’”

“We did the legwork, looked at the science, consulted agency experts, and pulled in relevant outside information to put these online resources together,” he added.

“Everything we know about contrails to solar geoengineering will be in there.”

The EPA website explains how condensation trails, or “contrails,” are common exhaust clouds left behind by high-altitude aircraft and visible to Americans gazing up at the sky “for the same reason that you can see the exhaust from your vehicle or your own breath on a cold day.”

EPA Promises ‘Total Transparency On The Issues Of Geoengineering And Contrails’

As this Substack has been exposing for many years, geoengineering is an all too real weather warfare program, with the government owning the following patents (just like they own patents for the Modified nRMA slow kill bioweapon C19 “vaccines”):

  • US3613992A – Weather Modification by Artificial Satellites (1971): Method for modifying wether using satellites.
  • US3564253A – Artificial Ion Cloud Method and Apparatus (1971): For creating artificial ion clouds to alter atmospheric conditions.
  • US4686605A – Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth’s Atmosphere (1987): This patent, linked to HAARP, describes a system for altering the ionosphere.
  • US20060201547A1 – Hurricane and Tornado Control Device (2006): A method of disrupting or controlling the energy of hurricanes and tornadoes.
  • US2007012532A1 – System and Method for Wind and Water Alteration (2007): Used to control atmospheric conditions, specifically rain and wind.

And if weather warfare geoengineering were such a crazy conspiracy theory, then why was NOAA tasked with monitoring weather manipulation projects under the Weather Modification Reporting Act of 1972?

And if weather warfare geoengineering were such a crazy conspiracy theory, then why did the U.S. sign on to the international treaty known as the Environmental Modification Convention (ENMOD) in 1977, which prohibits the military or any hostile force from deploying environmental modification methods, not limited to weather manipulation, in warfare?

The ENMOD Convention includes the following:

  • Article 1 prohibits the use of environmental modification techniques as a means of destruction, damage, or injury to any other State Party.
  • The Convention defines environmental modification techniques as deliberate manipulations of natural processes affecting the earth’s biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, or outer space.
  • The treaty entered into force for the United States on January 17, 1980, after the ratification by the Senate.

Of course, ENMOD also leverages the whole “climate change” scam back when it was called Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW), except that now there is no warming on average, but we digress.

EPA Director Lee Zeldin Places 144 Leftwing Nuts on Leave After They Signed Anti-Trump Declaration

On June 30, 2025, nearly 300 current and recently terminated EPA officials signed a “declaration of dissent” outlining how President Trump’s ‘politicization of science’ and job cuts were undermining the notoriously far-left agency.  In their closed minds, it is Trump who is ‘politicizing the science’ and not these radicals who have been pushing pseudo-science like global warming for years now.

Back in March, Director Zeldin canceled $22 billion in EPA contracts including $2 billion awarded to a Georgia’s Stacy Abrams in one of the shadiest government deals of all time. The Stacy Abrams’ group received only $100 in 2023 and then the Biden regime gave that same group $2 billion in 2024 on the way out the door in one of the shadiest and crooked government payouts of all time!

These righteous EPA officials apparently saw nothing wrong with $2 billion going to far-left hack Stacy Abrams, a woman who knows nothing about “environmental science”

The National Pulse reported on what happened next.

Nearly 300 current and recently terminated employees of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are rebelling against President Donald J. Trump, issuing a letter of dissent that declares concerns over the agency’s direction and alleges risks to public health and safety. The declaration, sent to Administrator Lee Zeldin, outlined five key issues, including the dismantling of the research office and the abandonment of far-left progressive environmental justice initiatives.

The letter, signed by 278 employees—174 of whom used their full names—criticized the administration’s approach to deregulation, alleging that it is harmful and dismissive of supposed scientific expertise. “Today, we stand together in dissent against the current administration’s focus on harmful deregulation, mischaracterization of previous EPA actions, and disregard for scientific expertise,” the group stated.

The agency’s reorganization includes consolidating several offices, dissolving the research division, and canceling billions of dollars in grants. Notably, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) uncovered a $14 billion scheme that saw taxpayer dollars funneled by the Biden-era EPA to an external account with Citibank, which disbursed the funds to three Democrat-aligned environmental nonprofits. The National Pulse previously reported that one of the nonprofit groups, which received $2 billion in grants, is affiliated with Georgia election denier Stacy Abrams.

The political stunt did not sit well with Director Zeldin.

Lee Zeldin placed the remaining leftwing nuts on leave later days later.
