We can give the corn used for that to third world countries to eat. And give the corn farmers time (2-3 years) to shift to a different crop.
Planting corn over and over in the same dirt is bad for the soil health.

And nary a bit of it will move the needle until China & India are taken to task for their wanton disregard for environmental protection measures.
I disagree. I guess that depends on what "needle" you are talking about. Business expansion in the US... environmental concerns.
I will leave you with a quick thought experiment for those that have never worked for an oil company.
Who is more regulated, you are industry? Obviously (I hope) it is industry.
Now to legally add an electrical outlet to my house I need to apply for a permit, pay for a permit and pay to have it inspected.
You might say you did that yourself and never got a permit. And that is part of my point. Inspectors don't visit your house so you got away with breaking the law. (local laws vary but I hope you get the jist of it).
Now a real world example. A chemical plant will have thousand or even hundreds of thousands of bleeder valves (bleeds). These are valves for blowing down lines or taking samples. Each of these valves required a plug. For each plug left out the company can be fined $10,000 dollars.
So valve closed, nothing leaking, 10K EACH!
I am not saying this regulation is bad. I am just showing those that don't know an idea of how heavily the industry is regulated.

Don’t even get me started on hydronic hoses. A brand new hose spits out a teaspoon of hydronic fluid which is cleaned up immediately off the concrete. EPA guy there? If so that’s up to $20k.
Rain water runoff on an offshore rig? If it isn’t trapped get your arse puckered and ready

The 80s called and they want their narrative back. Florida was supposed to have been submerged by 2020.

I just drove through Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas in the last week. I’ve never seen so many corn fields in my life.

Perhaps they can grow food. There are a lot of hungry people around the globe.

Hell the earth was supposed to be frozen way before 2020.

Yes. Enough of regulations to the point of burdening ourselves. Time to be realistic

We got our gas cans back, this deregulation should bring our light trucks back. Next has to be incandescent lightbulbs and appliances (especially A/C units and dishwashers) that actually work correctly, right?

Nope. You need to go back to the GWB administration. Who do you think signed the ethanol mandate into law?
Want to help food prices? Want to get better mileage from your vehicle? Dump the ethanol mandate.

Oh I agree regarding ethanol, but no one on the right is taking on the corn mafia and Chuck Grassley in the Senate IMO.

Hopefully the current admin realizes that a thriving economy also requires a clean environment

It’s not so much about people not reading this stuff, it’s the people writing and pushing it that aren’t trustworthy.
They’ve either been lying for decades or they’ve been wrong for decades. If either (or both) are true, why should anyone listen to these “climate scientists?”
