Trump officials decimate climate protections and consider axeing key greenhouse gas finding
EPA takes aim at almost every major pollution rule in what environmentalists call act of ‘malice toward the planet’
...
“The Trump administration’s ignorance is trumped only by its malice toward the planet,” said Jason Rylander, legal director at the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute.

“Come hell or high water, raging fires and deadly heatwaves, Trump and his cronies are bent on putting polluter profits ahead of people’s lives. This move won’t stand up in court. We’re going to fight it every step of the way.”

Trump’s EPA Cancels $20 Billion in Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Grants
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin has cut $20 billion in grants awarded by the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) through a “green bank.”

"Denkbar ist hingegen auch, dass die positive Stimmung erst vor Kurzem umgeschlagen ist: Ende vergangenen Jahres enthüllten Sicherheitsforscher und -forscherinnen auf dem Kongress des Chaos Computer Clubs gravierende Sicherheitslücken in der Patientenakte. Die Behauptung, dass die Patientenakte sicher sei, treffe nicht zu."
Sowas aber auch. #epa
"The American Beef Industry Understood Its Climate Impact Decades Ago"
https://insideclimatenews.org/news/14032025/american-beef-industry-knew-climate-impact-decades-ago/
People need to know about the anti-science and pseudoscience promoted by the meat industry, especially the cow meat industry, to hide the non-slaughter horrors of their bloody industry.
<
>
Jacquet, a professor of environmental science and policy at the University of Miami, noted that the 2006 UN report represented an inflection point, not only making the public aware of livestock’s climate impact, but putting the industry on notice that it could potentially be targeted for regulation. The report said that livestock’s climate emissions—which come from converting forests to pasture, growing feed, methane-emitting cow burps and manure storage—were about 18 percent of the global total, more even than the transportation sector.
</>
<>
In 1989—the year after NASA’s James Hansen famously told Congress that climate change posed a global threat—the Environmental Protection Agency held a workshop focusing on methane emissions from livestock and, soon after, published a report, “Reducing Methane Emissions from Livestock.” The report said that livestock were a major source of methane and estimated that a 50 percent decrease in global emissions from livestock would yield huge benefits for stabilizing this especially potent greenhouse gas. Tucked into an appendix was the following suggestion: “Reducing methane emissions from ruminants should be pursued as part of an overall investigation into alternatives for reducing future global warming and its impacts.”
</>
<>
Jacquet and her co-authors note that representatives from the meat and dairy industry attended the 1989 EPA workshop, including a member of the National Cattlemen’s Association. Several months and a handful of planning meetings later, the association, which is the country’s biggest beef lobby and now known as the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, or NCBA, developed a “Strategic Plan on the Environment” to counter anticipated public relations problems or regulations related to climate change. The plan included suggestions to reach out to “key influencers” with research and positive messaging about the industry’s environmental benefits.
</>

In a separate study, published this week, Jacquet and another University of Miami researcher, Loredana Loy, trace the meat industry’s efforts to derail advocacy groups’ attempts to persuade the public to eat less meat as a climate strategy. These attempts include the Beyond Beef campaign and others, including Diet for a New America and Meatless Monday.
</>

The study says the livestock industry took a different approach than the oil and gas industry, which tried to convince the public it was only continuing to develop fossil fuels because consumers called for them. The livestock industry, on the other hand, tried to convince consumers that their dietary choices would make no difference.

@breadandcircuses At least you have the Environmental Protection Agency making some efforts to rein in USA's wild excesses.

If anyone wants to know what the US looked like before our current air quality regulations, watch any American TV series or movie from the 1970s.
LA's air is so visible in The Rockford Files, for example, I'm surprised the writers didn't name it as a character.

A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.
Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.
Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.
We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.

Update. It's not enough for #Trump to …
* nominate #climate denialists to run key agencies like the #EPA and #NOAA
* remove climate-related words from govt web sites
* take down whole climate science sites and datasets
* defund climate research and researchers
* layoff scientists and civil servants with climate expertise
* repeal climate regulations
* eliminate 10 regional EPA offices, including the one in DC
* and plan to replace consensus climate findings with ideological cherrypicking as the foundation for policymaking …
… now his #FBI is freezing the assets of nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity, which have received EPA grants, alleging that they might be guilty of “possible criminal violations” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

"The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like #HabitatForHumanity for receiving grants from the #EPA under the Biden administration.
Citibank was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” "

Eben diese Menschen*, die mit Begriffen wie „Messer” und „Religion” Angst in der Bevölkerung verbreiten, zeigen bei der Umschreibung ihrer Taten ihre wahren Gedanken.
GEDANKEN voller GEWALTFANTASIEN, in denen sie „von einem Messerstoß in das Herz einer "Religion" fantasieren.”
Ich verachte Sie, nicht für Ihre Tat, sondern für den Grund Ihrer Fantasien, die Sie heranziehen, um Ihre Tat zu legitimieren.
Denn Ihre Legitimation basiert auf Hass, Hass auf andere Menschen/Lebewesen.

US-Umweltbehörde will viele Klima- und Umweltvorschriften abschaffen
Der neue Leiter der US-Umweltbehörde EPA will eine Reihe von Vorschriften zum Umwelt- und Klimaschutz rückgängig machen. Umweltschützer protestieren, es droht ein juristischer Streit.
