Trump to gut US climate change policy and environmental regulations

The White House says the Trump administration will revoke a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. The Environmental Protection Agency will issue a final rule Thursday rescinding a 2009 government declaration known as the endangerment finding. The Obama-era policy determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. Legal challenges are certain. The White House says the action “will be the largest deregulatory action in American history" and will save as much as $1.3 trillion in avoided regulations. Environmental groups called the shift the single biggest attack in U.S. history on federal efforts to address climate change.

The #pollution is so bad some researchers have identified the region as one of the nation’s #PFAS hot spots. Today, the consequences can be found everywhere. PFAS, often called #ForeverChemicals because they can take decades or more to break down, are in the #water & the #soil.

They’re in the dust on floors where #children crawl, the local #fish & #wildlife, & as ongoing research has shown, the #people.
