The bottom line on EPA's effort to overturn the #endangerment finding?
It's purely a political argument cloaked in false, misleading, dishonest scientific language, because actual #climate science unambiguously supports the conclusion greenhouse gases are dangerous to the climate and society.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: Leaders Praise the EPA for Launching Largest Deregulatory Action in U.S. History with Proposal to Rescind Obama-Era Endangerment Finding | US EPA Elected officials, constituents and stakeholders weigh in on the EPA's proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which has been used to justify over $1 trillion in regulations, including the ...

This is despicable, and yet also excruciatingly embarrassing.
Someone at EPA has the job of soliciting, collecting, and posting comments sucking up to the anti-science, destroy-the-environment, decisions of Trumpists.
Serious "All praise the Great Leader" vibe.

Isn't the internet great? You can post a photo of an amazing flower, and someone on the internet knows, literally, which exact flower you've posted.

Despicable EPA propaganda -- they've collected statements supporting their effort to stop regulating #climate destroying pollutants from extreme climate deniers, MAGA sycophants & cultists, & fossil-fuel interests.
Odd they left out scientists & the vulnerable public.

That thing where some Republicans express "concern" over something Trump has done? It's pure b*******. They're still voting completely in lockstep for all of his proposals, nominees, illegal and immoral bills.

That's the one!

BTW, it's Red Tower Ginger.

Red flower with two bright yellow "eyes" looking like a natural muppet.

Muppet plant.

Congratulations!!!

Looking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided. Your comment can be scientific, legal, or just about what the American people want..

As @timviles.bsky.social has pointed out, firing the person responsible for reporting job numbers just makes the jobs numbers one worse.

Trump fires a senior official over jobs numbers | CNN Business President Donald Trump has fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whom he accused of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”

Is "shooting the messenger" trending yet?
This is political and scientific corruption of the worst order.

Apropos Trump's so-called "deals."
They're simply threats and demands, revokable on his slightest whim and grievance.

Trump threatens Canada trade deal over support for Palestinian state ‘Oh’ Canada,’ President Trump mocked on social media as his reinstated ‘Liberation Day’ deadline looms

If any so-called "deal" that Trump negotiates can be modified on his whim for political purposes, it's not a deal, it's a ransom or a blackmail request.

I saw that movie.

Confirmed

The "scientific" arguments put forward by the EPA to eliminate the greenhouse gas "endangerment finding" violate Trump's "Gold Standard" Executive Order. Their arguments are crap, based on misinformation, disinformation, long-debunked pseudoscience, and old, tired #climate denial talking points.

Just to be crystal clear.
Trump's EPA effort to overturn the "endangerment finding" on the threat of greenhouse gas pollution is not to correct, or update, or somehow re-evaluate the science. It is to simply deny the incontrovertible scientific evidence of the reality of #climate change threats.

Make that a formal comment to EPA in the process of revoking the endangerment finding.

Turn this into formal comments to the EPA

Haha, I'm in Berkeley at 180 ft. So maybe I'll be swimming in the stadium.

Turn those into formal comments to the EPA.

Turn those exercises into formal comments to the EPA before the deadline.
