The EPA move follows news the administration wants to scrap the satellites that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
If you can't measure it and don't know where it's coming from, it becomes very difficult to reduce or eliminate it (or hold anybody accountable for damages).

"Trans rights are human rights" - Zarah
Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity.
This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power.
Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.
