https://www.europesays.com/?p=1907802 Trump EPA Takes Sweeping Aim at Rules to Gut Climate ‘Religion’ #Climate #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalMandates #EPARegulations #GlobalWarming #GreenhouseGases #TrumpAdministration
Continued thread
“If you want to go back & redo one of these rules, you’re going to have a very spirited court battle if you ignore the #endangerment finding,” said Ebell, the chairman of the #conservative American Lands Council. “So I think they really need to do this.”
Continued thread
#EPA officials weighed whether to reverse the endangerment finding during #Trump’s first term but opted not to do so.
Conservatives have argued that repealing the finding is critical to unraveling what they see as burdensome limits on #emissions from various sectors of the #economy. Environmentalists, in contrast, say the finding has justified stronger #regulations that have yielded enormous benefits for the planet & #PublicHealth.
Continued thread
By repealing the #EPA endangerment finding, the #Trump admin would be taking one of its most consequential steps yet to derail federal #climate efforts. In recent days, the admin has also blocked work that is central to international climate #research & barred federal scientists & diplomats from even attending a major climate event in China.
*EPA tells White House* [flip that] to strike down landmark climate finding

The 2009 “endangerment finding” cleared the way for regulating #GreenhouseGases under the #CleanAirAct by concluding that the planet-warming gases pose a threat to #PublicHealth & welfare.

"What will it be like to live in a warmer world? This interactive analysis of climate and weather categorizes and tracks 70 cities between now and 2070 and predicts what living there will feel like as the planet heats up. Watch Los Angeles turn from temperate now to arid by 2070, becoming desert. Scandinavian countries will become temperate rather than cold."

"It is my genuine belief that the only way we will be able to avoid the worst consequences of this emerging existential crisis is if we create a critical mass of people who demand the changes required. For that to happen, we need to rapidly spread awareness, because the general public still lacks much of the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand the dire situation we are in. My wish is to be part of the effort to change that."

The groups sought the emergency injunction while they pursue litigation to block the #regulations, claiming #EPA’s #PowerPlant plan would force the premature closure of some plants, cost jobs & jeopardize #grid reliability.

Nearly half of the rubbish produced in UK homes, including increasing amounts of plastic, is now being incinerated. Scientists warn it is a “disaster for the climate” - and some are calling for a ban on new incinerators...
The BBC examined five years of data from across the country, and found that burning waste produces the same amount of greenhouse gases for each unit of energy as coal power, which was abandoned by the UK last month..."

What happens to the world if #forests stop absorbing #carbon? Ask #Finland
Natural sinks of forests and #peat were key to Finland’s ambitious target to be #CarbonNeutral by 2035. But now, the land has started emitting more #GreenhouseGases than it stores
