The Endangerment Finding is the legal foundation for nearly every EPA action to reduce climate pollution. Undermining it threatens EPA's ability to protect us from climate pollution at all, and the health of our families, communities, and future generations is at stake.

... EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the timing of the proposed repeal during an appearance on the conservative "Ruthless" podcast Tuesday morning. He had previously said last week that he would axe the finding.

"Later today, we're going to be making a big announcement in Indiana," he said Tuesday morning.

"Something that happened back in the Obama administration in 2009 was that they put forward this regulation called the 'endangerment finding,'" Zeldin said.

"Repealing it will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America," he added. ...

You can decide not to call it an elephant.

But it still has tusks and big floppy ears.

Trump is going to declare that gravity doesn't exist so he can claim that he's a healthy and fit 170lbs.

Not a sign of stupidity, this attack on correcting global warming inaction, but a sign that those who run the show have everything invested in fossil fuels and would gladly sacrifice a third of Florida's coastline, for example, to their love of high stock market profits. We are led by the cruel and the criminal.

'Silent killer': the science of tracing climate deaths in heatwaves
www.digitaljournal.com

... A heatwave scorching Europe had barely subsided in early July when scientists published estimates that 2,300 people may have died across a dozen major cities during the extreme, climate-fuelled episode.

The figure was supposed to "grab some attention" and sound a timely warning in the hope of avoiding more needless deaths, said Friederike Otto, one of the scientists involved in the research.

"We are still relatively early in the summer, so this will not have been the last heatwave. There is a lot that people and communities can do to save lives," Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial College London, told AFP.

Heat can claim tens of thousands of lives during European summers but it usually takes months, even years, to count the cost of this "silent killer". ...

"Eighty international scientific societies have endorsed the concept of a primarily human-caused climate crisis that is already starting to threaten the health and well-being of millions, and soon to be billions, of people in the next few decades. The total number of scientific organizations that dispute this is zero. If you were watching a basketball game where the score was 80 to 0, with one minute left in the fourth quarter, and you decided to bet your entire nest egg on that losing team, no one would argue that you were not severely delusional. ... Inability to discern reality is the hallmark of schizophrenia."
