They're literally purging people who try to advocate against climate denialism. Let's have clear eyes about this.

We had a chance to stop these guys. To stop a world where these were the people in power, where these would be the diligent efforts of U.S. administrators, legislators, and policymakers.

 

We either didn't want to, or didn't feel it was important enough. That's a collective decision we'll all have to reckon with. The silver lining is, I hope it informs us all for the future.

How small do you think his pee-pee is? Seriously - he can't be reading or understanding the impact of any of these things he is taking away. He is motivated only by doing the opposite of the black man who held the office (honorably) before him.

The Environmental Protection Agency says it plans to scrap an Obama-era measure limiting water pollution from coal-fired power plants.

 

A letter from EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt released Monday as part of a legal appeal said he will seek to revise the 2015 guidelines mandating increased treatment for wastewater from steam electric power-generating plants.

 

Acting at the behest of electric utilities who opposed the stricter standards, Pruitt first moved in April to delay implementation of the new guidelines. The wastewater flushed from the coal-fired plants into rivers and lakes typically contains traces of such highly toxic heavy metals as lead, arsenic, mercury and selenium.

What was that you were saying about money in politics, Moiraine?

This guy is causing SO. MUCH. DAMAGE. Sorry, TGH, but he is proving he's a 100% pro-business, anti-environment kook.

Now that the Houston Superfund sites are flooded and possibly releasing toxins into the floodwaters, wouldn't it be great to have a well-funded agency that could help coordinate cleanup?

 

 

 

HAHAHAHA, no, that would be silly!
