We could have breathing room on some of the worst enviromental EO's for now: "...few executive orders have any immediate impact. They’re basically nudges to various agencies to carry out his agenda"
This is an updated post on Trump's executive orders yesterday that related to the environment. Many of them look more significant than they really are.

The most adorable baby king #crab, accidentally collected by NOAA researchers in the Gulf of Mexico, has become an instant online sensation. Collected by a research boat while scientists were collecting coral samples, the tiny stowaway is suspected to be a juvenile Neolithodes agassizii.

Who is responsible for these climate disasters, like the devastating fires in LA? It's fossil fuel companies who lied about climate change for decades. They should be paying for the damages, as New York and Vermont will soon require. I talked about this on @democracynow.org this morning.
