The #NeverTrump faction of Republicans and conservatives, as well as libertarians who couldn't vote for him, might never be sold on Donald Trump's presidency. But they could have something to celebrate other than the crushing of the Clinton political machine: America's disentanglement from the Paris climate deal.

Without the approval of Congress, which he legally needed, President Obama made the U.S. a party to the Paris climate treaty. The global warming community rejoiced. But Trump, who apparently knows fraud when he sees it, says the climate deal is dead to him. He promised in May that he would cancel the U.S. commitment to the pact and withdraw American funding for United Nations programs related to global warming.

Trump also did what congressional Republicans should have been doing for the last eight years: He called out the EPA for the "totalitarian tactics" it uses to block energy extraction.

Trump is making Obama, the unserious Secretary of State John Kerry, and the rest of the climate change alarmists as nervous as a college snowflake who can't find his safe space. Kerry's aides are probably following him around with a fainting couch since the election, should he be overcome by the vapors. Over the weekend they needed to be in Antarctica, where Kerry was apparently knocking off a bucket list item at taxpayers' expense rather than conducting diplomacy.

Foreign governments are also reacting childishly to Trump's win and what that means for the Paris deal. The Financial Times has reported that "China has warned Trump that he will be defying the wishes of the entire planet if he acts on his vow to back away from the Paris climate agreement," while "India also joined in the warnings."

But not all is silly: A European Union official has said that "Trump's victory will probably make some parties feel empowered to start trying to reopen what has been agreed."

One would think that China and India, the first- and fourth-ranked producers of fossil-fuel greenhouse emissions respectively, would be happy that Trump could help them shed the bondage of the Paris agreement so they could continue to grow toward First World status. But in the age in which the alarmists have successfully bullied those who don't agree with them, these nations and others, like high school students struggling to fit in with the cool kids, have apparently become "concerned" about greenhouse gas emissions.

Or maybe they don't actually plan to comply with the Paris restrictions but want the U.S. to handicap its economy by observing the controls.

Reasonable people, meanwhile, are encouraged by the prospect that Trump will unyoke the U.S. from a deal that the climate change community says won't make a difference in global temperature anyway. But it would make a difference in our wallets. They'll be lighter.

We've actually been down this road to disaster before. And it actually turned out to be a leisurely drive. Despite assurances from the same crowd that catastrophe would be waiting around the next corner, George W. Bush's rejection of the 1992 Kyoto Protocol turned out to be the right choice. Four subsequent presidential terms and nearly 16 more years of greenhouse emissions did not bring the disaster so many predicted.

Another benefit of Trump's election is the possible appointment of Myron Ebell as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. It could be that Ebell, from the Competitive Enterprise Institute, is just the right man for the long-term job of eliminating the EPA, a hopelessly political agency that has caused more problems than it has solved. At a minimum, he should help the EPA staff members — who are among the federal employees who said they'd quit their jobs if Trump was elected — keep their promises. The environment will never miss them.
