After his recent speech to the United Nations General Meeting, Climate Activists hit President Donald Trump, in which he mentioned climate change ‘the greatest Con Job ever over the world’. Well, I have a non -profit for the environment – and he may have a point.
The American people do not rely on the modern environmental movement. This comes from years of extremists who lead. When they spend for decades telling the audience that will end the world (but it never does), the audience stops to believe. It is the age -old story of the Climate Doomers who cried Wolf. And now, at any time want to protect our beautiful nation, for example, we want to protect our beautiful nation, they are received with justified skepticism.
The doomerist language. The “my way or not a way” attitude. And the stunts such as throwing soup on paintings and blocking traffic will not inspire an environmental action. They will almost certainly do exactly the opposite – and they have that.

In 1991, almost 80% of Americans considered themselves environmental activists. From 2021 that number was cut in two, with only about four in ten Americans who identified themselves as environmental activists. Yet the problems themselves are not divided. On the contrary, key question problems get some of the most overwhelming support of every subject in politics. 82% of voters support proactive forest management to reduce the threat of forest fires. 87% want to see action to protect nature and habitats from our nation. And no less than 95% acknowledges the importance of protecting the water in our lakes, streams and rivers.
The polarization of the environmental movement is not due to a lack of public consensus, it is due to a lack of common sense.
The solution to the very real challenges with which we are confronted – increased frequency and seriousness of forest fires, the Western water crisis, frequent natural disasters that destroy entire communities and regulatory inhibitors – is no longer of the same. It is a complete reinventing of the movement itself. This is what I have devoted my life to and the Trump administration played an active role in promoting common sense initiatives.
This summer, Trump signed an executive order to make America beautiful again, so that the MABA committee was established to expand access to public land, to promote responsible stewardship of natural resources and encourage collaboration efforts. The domestic department is investing more than $ 100 million to maintain and restore the Wetlands of America. And this month the Environmental Protection Agency maintained a rule of Biden era that requires producers to clean up “Forever Chemicals” such as PFOA and PFOs.
These are all solid first steps to a new type of environmental movement, but of course there is still a lot of work to do. A non -party -bound future for environmental issues depends on the actions of not only this administration, but also in the future. Conservation is a priority that we always have to fight for – regardless of political differences.
In a sense, the president’s statement was good – countries will fail if they stay on their current path.

Real leadership does not come from a constant stream of horror stories from the Doomsday, unrealistic deadlines such as the mandate of the electric vehicle, or unfounded agreements such as the Paris climate agreement. Real leadership on the environment will come from the United States that continue to lead the world in emission reductions by expanding all energy sources, historical investments in repairing ecosystems and supporting our environment such as the Great American Outdoors Act and an increased efficiency of transport.
The most important thing is that effective policy change only comes from sustainable cultural change. There are many radical pieces of the modern environmental movement, but nature itself has never been one of them. Of all the things we politicize – all the things that drive us apart – the natural beauty of this nation has the power to bring us together.

Protecting our most naturally beautiful places is patriotic. It is uniting. And it is desperate.
Let this be a movement that stops crying Wolf and starts to strengthen action.
