Air quality rules introduced in '21-'24 will save $253B/yr and 202k lives by 2050, says EPN. Project 2025 wants to reverse these benefits.

    Climate change is a global issue.

    And Biden broke fossil fuel production records trump set. And Harris passed the deciding vote to expand domestic fracking.

    So give them credit for the bare minimum local things they do. Fine

    But we need to demand they stop fucking up on the major parts

    Shipping coal from WV to China creates more pollution than just burning it in WV.

      broke production records

      Interesting way to frame “the line that has always trended upwards continued to go upwards”

        I usually hate graphs that dont start the y at zero, and it would be better if it did, but here’s the first I found

        https://www.vox.com/climate/24098983/biden-oil-production-climate-fossil-fuel-renewables

        It skyrocketed under trump, and then again under Biden.

        But like, you’re acting like this is just some personal grip I have…

        But I think setting a new record for high temps year after year after year is a good analogy.

        Does it suck that it’s still happening?

        Yes.

        But that sure as fuck doesn’t mean a 10 degree increase is the same as a 0.1 degree increase in average temps over the span of a year.

        Like. How can you act that magnitude isn’t important at all?

      The first 2 months of US supplied bombs bombing Gaza had the same environmental impact as burning 150k tons of coal.

    Instead of just exposing how shitty project 2025 is (super important to do), can the media also expose and publicize the names behind project 2025? That way they won’t be able to just put a new wrap around it and call it “project butterflies and unicorns” in 2026.

    They are not too concerned about climate change seeing the bombs and weapons they are providing Israel and Ukraine is leaving an ecological disaster in its wake. The first 2 months of bombing Gaza was the equivalent of burning 150k tons of coal.

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
