Science has known about the connection between greenhouse gases and global warming since this paper was published in 1856, before we even had cars. They all know how dangerous this is, but like always, they put billionaire profits ahead of public safety.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Trump is suing for privacy violations about his tax returns while his administration shares taxpayers’ data with ICE. The height of hypocrisy has a price tag: $10 billion. Maybe it’s time for a class-action lawsuit from the taxpayers too. 🔄
