Senator Adam #Schiff, thank you for sticking up for the health and safety of America when the #EPA is run by a #maga treasonous individual such as #zeldin. May he go down with #trump and the rest of the #fascist in this #oligarchy.
This administration only cares to make the richest POS a little richer at any cost, including the #health and lives of the citizens they are sworn to serve.

Oh, joy. Lee Zeldin the new EPA head:

"I've been told the Endangerment Finding is considered the Holy Grail of the Climate Change religion. For me, the US Constitution, and the laws of this nation will be strictly interpreted and followed. No exceptions".

To start with, how are the two sentences linked?

"I have been told that a wooden cup, that used to be in a gilded metal box along with the shin bone of St Benedict, found in a field in Berkshire, is the Holy Grail of the Christian religion. For me, the US Constitution, and the laws of this nation will be strictly interpreted and followed. No exceptions".

Also, the snivelly little arse-nugget knows full well that Climate Change is a real, scientific fact, that people can see, smell, touch and taste but for now he's rich, and he will be dead in 30 years, so he doesn't give a toss when he kills potentially millions of people.

This takes us back to the whole idea that political decision-makers in his position who are deliberately spreading and trading in lies they know will kill people, should be charged with 2nd-degree murder for their deliberate actions.

Judge demands ‘some kind of evidence’ from Trump’s EPA to halt climate grants

Federal judge Tanya Chutkan issues restraining order pending new filings over billions in axed research grants

A federal judge considering the Trump administration’s abrupt cancellation of climate research grants worth billions of dollars
told government lawyers they had to produce
“some kind of evidence” of wrongdoing to back up such drastic actions.

Climate United, which coordinates investment in clean energy projects,
sued to seek access to $7bn that was frozen before it was cancelled on Tuesday night by #Lee #Zeldin,
the New York Republican congressman turned administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

In US district court in Washington on Wednesday, Judge #Tanya #Chutkan asked lawyers for the EPA:
“Can you proffer any evidence that [the grant] was illegal,
or evidence of abuse or fraud or bribery
– that any of that was improperly or unlawfully done, other than the fact that Mr Zeldin doesn’t like it?”

#Marc #Sacks, a government lawyer, said:
“The determination is based on the information contained in the termination letter.”
Chutkan said:
“That’s pretty circular,”
then asked if Climate United had violated federal regulations.

Sacks said:
“I think the agency cited both of those regulations within their termination letter.”
Chutkan said:
“I can cite cases all day long, but you have to have some kind of evidence or proffer to back it up.”
She also said:
“You can’t even tell me what the evidence of malfeasance is.”

There is plentiful evidence that Zeldin is implementing an assault on attempts to tackle the climate crisis.
The EPA issued a slew of rollbacks of rules to combat pollution on Wednesday.

Zeldin said he was “driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age”.
Climate groups reacted with horror.
#Jason #Rylander, legal director at the Center for Biological Diversity’s Climate Law Institute, told the Guardian:
“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.”

Climate United is not the only group to have sued over access to grants.
In New York, the Coalition for Green Capital has sued over the cancellation of a $5bn grant,
an act it called “patently and plainly unlawful on its face”
and “arbitrary and pretextual”.
In Washington, lawyers for Climate United argued that the EPA had not followed the law,
meaning Chutkan could rule on the matter.
Lawyers for the government said it was a contract dispute, so she could not.
Chutkan said:
“The government didn’t decide who it wanted to contract with.
A new administration came in, didn’t like the contract any more.
That’s what new administrations do.
But there are procedures that have to be followed.
And it doesn’t appear, at least on the record before me, that those procedures have been followed.”

The hearing ended without Chutkan issuing a ruling or temporary restraining order,
but asking both sides to make
👉new filings by Monday evening:
Climate United to amend its lawsuit
and the government to provide information about alleged wrongdoing.
“I don’t have the credible evidence that’s required,” Chutkan said.

"We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate change religion" said #EPA administrator #Zeldin.

That is disgusting #propaganda. #climatechange is real, framing #science as "religion" is bullshit. But what would you expect from one of #Trump's lackeys.
