‘Make Carbon Dioxide Great Again’ law would ban carbon reduction efforts in Wyoming

Despite overwhelming evidence that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are the main driver of a climate crisis that threatens to imperil modern life on Earth, some far-right members of the Wyoming Legislature contend it’s a hoax intended to depress the state’s fossil fuel-reliant economy.

Sen. Steinmetz wants to repeal Wyoming’s carbon capture mandate for coal plants.
Senate File 92 would declare that “Carbon dioxide is a foundational nutrient necessary for all life on earth,” according to the bill. “Plants need carbon dioxide along with sunlight, water and nutrients to prosper. The more carbon dioxide available for this, the better life can flourish.”
