Trump’s EPA says climate pollution doesn’t endanger people : NPR
July 24, 20255:00 AM ET, Heard on Morning Edition
By Jeff Brady, 3-Minute Listen, Transcript
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency building in Washington, D.C. Jose Luis Magana /APThe Trump administration wants to overturn a key 2009 Environmental Protection Agency finding that underpins much of the federal government’s actions to rein in climate change.
The EPA has crafted a proposal that would undo the government’s “endangerment finding,” a determination that pollutants from burning fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding haslong served as the foundation for a host of policies and rules to address climate change. The EPA’s proposal to revoke the finding is currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Already, environmentalists, climate advocates and others are bracing for what could be a fundamental shift away from trying to address the problem of a hotter climate. And the Trump administration is celebrating the proposal as a potential economic win.
“Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen,” EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in announcing the proposal in March. “We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion to drive down cost of living for American families, unleash American energy, bring auto jobs back to the U.S. and more.”
The administration’s effort comes in the wake of the hottest year humans have ever recorded on Earth, climate-fueled wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes in Los Angeles and hotter ocean temperatures that made Hurricane Helene stronger and more likely to cause damage inland.
The move could still be overturned by courts. But if the decision is upheld, it would speed President Trump’s efforts to end former President Biden’s ambitious climate agenda and make it more difficult for future administrations to limit the human-caused greenhouse gas pollution that’s heating the planet.

“The majority of total historic #ClimatePollution can be attributed to a relatively small number of #FossilFuel producers, yet, when faced with direct orders to reduce their emissions, polluters continue to push the narrative that, without a shift in consumer behavior, their hands are tied. “

‘Your heart races a bit’: US weather man threatened with death for mentioning climate crisis https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/16/chris-gloninger-tv-weather-man-climate-crisis?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other noticed and appreciate the increasing reporting of the causes of weather particularly extreme weather on the @ABC should we expect the same from AU conservatives when public needs to be aware of the consequences, and the cause, of #ClimatePollution

Problem is, there aren't any words. So maybe you need to make a phrase, as you did with #ClimateDiary
If you did, then perhaps the word Pollution would be worth employing?
Fundamentally, pollution is at the core of #ClimateChange. It's a word everyone understands and more importantly, it **triggers emotions**. Think how powerful images are, of industrial areas with smoke poring out from their chimneys.

#ClimatePollution #Canada #ClimateChange #AirPollution: "To illustrate how Canada is doing compared to our peers, I dug up the same "everything except electricity" emissions data for the rest of the Group of Seven (G7) nations. Collectively, these wealthy industrialized nations emit one-third of global climate pollution and produce half the world's GDP. This is the group that has the resources and capacity required to lead the climate fight.
As my next chart makes clear, we are embarrassingly in last place and heading in the wrong direction.
Germany, in contrast, has done the best in this group. What most people know about Germany's climate efforts is their multi-decade push to clean up their electricity sector — known as Energiewende. But the resulting huge electricity emissions cuts aren't even included on this chart. This chart only shows what they've done with their climate pollution in the rest of their economy — which is to reduce it by more than a third since 1990.
Our Commonwealth peers in the United Kingdom (U.K.) are close behind them. They are also best known for cutting coal from their electricity generation. But again, this chart ignores that and shows they cut emissions by more than a third across the rest of the economy."

Impressive to hear about Peninsula Clean Energy’s plan to get 99% of the way to 24/7 #renewable #electricity in 2025 at only a 2% cost premium — while reducing effective #ClimatePollution by an order of magnitude!

Can "fake meat" save the world? It's a start! The Global North has created the majority of historic #ClimatePollution and it's time to work off our #ClimateDebt.
✅ Luckily, replacing beef is easy and delicious item to check off of our list.
