It isn't lost on any on us that it was the Republicans, under Richard Nixon of all people, who brought the EPA and its regulations into being. Along the way, regulations were adjusted and created with bipartisan cooperation. Sadly, we no longer live in a world of political bipartisan cooperation.
The Trump administration finally issued its justifications for repealing the endangerment finding for greenhouse gases.

Now the big question: Will they hold up in court?

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.

It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.

Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

It is literally zero surprise that they knew their hand-picked climate deniers weren’t putting out real science.

Their nonsense has never been real, but part of a fraudulent propaganda campaign, designed by fossil fuel to protect its “free-to-pollute” business model.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
