About the Song
\nBrent crude futures recently approached $117 per barrel. However, futures prices tell only half the story. Due to the geopolitical instability associated with Trump\u2019s support for Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu, both indicted war criminals, the cost of delivering physical oil has soared to approximately half the futures price, pushing the final cost of a barrel to $150\u2013$175.<\/p>\n
Ironically, this has triggered the fastest and most significant global shift away from fossil-fuel dependency, directly contradicting Trump\u2019s \u201cDrill, Baby, Drill\u201d ideology and its rejection of climate science. His policies and geopolitical alliances are accelerating the very energy transition his administration seeks to obstruct.<\/p>\n
Donald J. Trump has repeatedly voiced skepticism toward climate science and taken concrete actions to undermine climate research and policy. He has publicly called climate change a “hoax,” the “greatest scam of all time,” and \u201cbullshit,\u201d reflecting a long-standing pattern of dismissing mainstream scientific consensus.<\/p>\n
In a major address to the United Nations General Assembly on September 23, 2025, President Trump delivered a comprehensive rejection of global climate efforts, labeling climate change the “greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” Key claims from this speech included:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Climate Science as a Hoax:<\/strong> He dismissed the concept of a “carbon footprint” as fabricated by individuals with \u201cevil intentions\u201d and characterized UN climate projections as the work of \u201cstupid people.\u201d<\/li>\n
- Renewable Energy as a \u201cScam\u201d:<\/strong> Trump repeatedly labeled wind and solar power as a \u201cjoke,\u201d \u201cpathetic,\u201d and a \u201cscam,\u201d claiming these technologies are too expensive and unreliable for modern infrastructure.<\/li>\n
- Rebranding Fossil Fuels:<\/strong> He actively promoted American fossil fuels, issuing a standing White House directive to refer to coal only as \u201cclean, beautiful coal\u201d to counter negative perceptions of fossil energy.<\/li>\n
- Criticism of the Paris Agreement:<\/strong> Trump referred to the Paris Climate Accord as \u201cfake,\u201d claiming the United States contributed far more than other nations while receiving little benefit in return.<\/li>\n
- Attacking European Policy:<\/strong> He warned that Europe\u2014and Germany in particular\u2014was \u201cgoing to hell\u201d economically due to its green energy transition and immigration policies.<\/li>\n
- Caricaturing Environmentalists:<\/strong> Trump used hyperbolic claims to paint climate advocates as extremists, asserting that radical environmentalists \u201cwant to kill all the cows\u201d to reduce methane emissions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Beyond rhetoric, Trump took significant steps to dismantle climate science and regulatory frameworks at the federal level, particularly through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/em> and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)<\/em>. Among the most consequential actions was the repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding<\/em>, which legally designated greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and enabled regulation of emissions. These actions have had lasting effects on U.S. climate policy, weakening federal oversight, slowing renewable energy development, and reducing the country\u2019s ability to respond to the accelerating climate crisis.<\/p>\n
Trump\u2019s tenure illustrates the intersection of political ideology, personal branding, and science denial, with consequences that extend far beyond domestic policy into global environmental governance.<\/p>\n
\nTrump has been widely criticized for white nationalist rhetoric and is also well-documented for his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a known ecofascist<\/strong>. Ecofascists understand the physics of climate change, with the short-term upper limit of warming estimated around +9\u00b0C. Their goal, alarmingly, is to push humanity toward that upper bound as a means of drastically reducing the global population\u2014particularly targeting vulnerable regions in the Global South.\n<\/p>\n
