Like Biden, EPA Lies Bigly and Continuously.

In order to put you into an electric car (at gunpoint) by 2035 or so, EPA lied like Hell to justify their mandate.

...EPA claims that the rule will reduce total greenhouse gas emissions over 2027-2055 by 7.2 billion metric tons. But despite a long and disingenuous discussion of the purported adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions, EPA admits that it “did not…specifically quantify changes in climate impacts resulting from this rule in terms of avoided temperature change or sea-level rise.”

The reason for that failure is obvious: The answer would be embarrassing. If we apply EPA’s own climate model, with assumptions that exaggerate the climate effects of reductions in GHG emissions, the rule would reduce global temperatures in 2100 by 0.0068 degrees Celsius — an effect far too small to be detectable.  ...

Well, yes, but it's GLOBAL!  That means biggie biggie bigger, right?

Wrong again, greenbreath.

... EPA multiplies asserted reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by the “social cost of carbon,” a fictitious number that supposedly measures damage caused by the emissions.

This multiplier is fictitious because it is derived from an assumed future emissions scenario (“Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5”) so extreme that it has virtually no chance of becoming reality. And this is incorporated into climate models that already overstate the actual satellite temperature measurements by a factor of about 2.5. The result? Climate doom and gloom predictions wholly at odds with the actual evidence....

Here's a very good question:

...EPA claims fuel savings of about $30 billion annually as a benefit of the regulation. This is bizarre. If there are significant fuel savings to be had, why do individuals need regulatory coercion to adopt the vehicle choices preferred by the Biden administration?...

There's a lot more at the link (HT:  Ace).

We've long maintained that to maximize benefit to the climate, EPA must be eliminated.  Noxious gassery and forest-killing are its only products, and we can do very well without either.

One way or the other, they'll be gone before the turn of the decade.
