Today, Trump signed congressional resolutions that purport to take away California’s right to protect its residents from automobile related GHG‘s. Yesterday, the Trump EPA said that it is going to abolish the Biden era rules restricting GHG emissions from coal fired power plants. This is nuts.

EPA enacted a regulation to limit emissions of hazardous air pollutants such as lead, mercury, arsenic and benzene, from stationary sources of air pollution. The Republicans in Congress have teed up a vote to kill that regulation under the Congressional Review Act. Profits over public health.

Trump wants to take habitat loss out as a factor under the Endangered Species Act. So you can wipe out a whole species so long as you don’t bop any individual animal on the head.

Can Trump Block State Climate Action? Short answer: No. President Trump wants to block state climate and clean energy policies, but the Constitution and federal laws stand in his way. www.nrdc.org/bio/david-do... 1/

So Trump’s EPA is offering polluters a 2-year waiver of hazardous air pollutant permit limitations that the polluters can request BY EMAIL, and EPA has helpfully supplied a template for the emails. This is how much they care about public health.

I'm a researcher primarily in adaptation. We are not even adapted to where the climate is today. If you think you can seawall your way through a 4°C planet, you are straight up dreaming. Mitigation AND adaptation, or you end up with way more of option 3 for dealing with climate change: suffering.

This is what’s happening. Trump isn’t doing any of this. He is their patsy. He’s like the Governor in Blazing Saddles. Put the orders in front of him, sign them, look at boobs and play golf. They are destroying the government on purpose. That is literally the goal.

During Trump I there was an E.O., generally ignored, requiring that two federal regulations be revoked for every new regulation promulgated. Now they have upped it to ten to one. Not gonna happen especially if they fire a lot of staffers.

For you Clean Air Act nerds: Trump’s EPA is going to “reconsider” 2 EPA approvals (waivers) given to CA rules that will reduce auto GHG emissions. Gee, how do you think that will turn out? BTW there is no authority in the statue to revoke a waiver.
