Trump's EPA revokes scientific finding that underpinned US fight against climate change
PART II
Distraction Politics: While the Files Burn
Watch the pattern.
A climate rule is erased.
But what dominates the headlines?
Immigration panic cycles.
Culture-war bait.
Fantastical territorial talk.
Manufactured outrage.
Economic theater.
The public conversation zigzags.
The regulatory state is quietly dismantled.
The fossil fuel industry gains breathing room.
Markets notice. Insurance companies notice. Agricultural lenders notice. Global competitors notice.
Meanwhile:
Europe accelerates electrification.
China dominates battery supply chains.
Global capital prices in climate risk.
Suppression of climate science does not change global markets.
It only isolates U.S. credibility.
“Climate Catastrophe Is Bad for Business”
Correct.
Physical risk destabilizes:
Property markets.
Insurance underwriting.
Agricultural yields.
Energy grids.
Municipal bonds.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Some actors profit in volatility.
Disaster contracting.
Reconstruction.
Short-term extraction.
Political patronage.
When regulatory guardrails disappear, capital can concentrate rapidly — even if long-term stability erodes.
That is not conspiracy.
That is incentive structure.
The contradiction is not “business vs climate.”
It’s short-term extraction vs long-term civilization.
