The Trump Administration just released their plan to roll back NEPA, an important law to keep communities safe and companies in check when planning projects.
There's so much going on it's hard to keep up. That’s why Trump’s latest environmental attack is so dangerous. Hiding behind complicated policy, it’s a change that will affect all of our lives.
Again... THIS IS THE SWAMP.
The Environmental Protection Agency is pushing ahead with sweeping changes to roll back environmental regulations despite sharp criticism from a panel of scientific advisers, most of whom were appointed by Trump.
In late December 2019, the New York Times published a long list of the ways the Trump administration has interfered in government science. The Republican war on science is a targeted one, focused on gutting regulations that will enrich Trump's corporate donors at the expense of the public.
In just three years, the Trump administration has diminished the role of science in federal policymaking while halting or disrupting research projects nationwide, marking a transformation of the federal government whose effects, experts say, could reverberate for years.
Regulations protect us. We've said it over and over. When we say "us," we're including our environment and living creatures that create this delicate ecosystem. Republicans do not care and tear regulations apart in the name of immediate profits for their corporate overlords.
Trump is trying to slash protections for more than 9 million acres of national parks. Trees that are more than 1,000 years old will be razed.
Regulations Protect Us.
Regulations Protect Us.
Regulations Protect Us.
Andrew Wheeler took over somewhat quietly for Scott Pruitt and in charge of the Environmental Protection Agency. He loves erasing PROTECTION of the ENVIRONMENT it from existence. He's been attacking our environment and our future in hundreds of very meaningful ways.
Disgusting levels of greed and evil to knowingly sell a product that will destroy the planet and our children's futures, but that is the mindset of a fossil fuel billionaire.
And every elected Republican takes their money and works on their behalf to allow this to continue. Future generations will have no ability to understand how this is possible.
As Climate Change demonstrations wrap the world with an estimated 7,000,000 attendees last week, Republicans are the idiots with their heads in the sand thinking that we need to drill for more oil. It's painful that people so stupid exist.
The Arctic Refuge is being opened drilling that will be devastating for the landscape and wildlife, polluting the environment and increasing emissions.
The Trump administration finalized rule changes to the Endangered Species Act on August 12, 2019 that make it harder to protect plants and animals whose populations are in serious decline. They are intentionally, significantly weakening the nation's bedrock conservation law credited with rescuing the bald eagle, grizzly bear and American alligator from extinction.
