The EPA’s big beautiful falsehoods
I don’t like to lie to most of you, but that’s exactly what the Environmental Protection Agency does. There is a lot of false information from our president and our administration, it is difficult to keep up with them or to understand how they affect us, but this will hurt us and hurt us.
The Environmental Protection Department suggests that greenhouse gases contribute to air pollution and endanger public health. Of course, so far, you know that each of you is true, right? Almost everyone understands that our rising carbon emissions lead to a warmer, more destructive atmosphere, including more severe hurricans.
One year after passing through a tallahassee art zone, a collection from Railway Square before and after photographs.
Tallahassee experienced this. Hurricane epidemic swept in our neighborhoods in April 2024 is over $ 63 million. Local friends have seen that their homes have been damaged over and over more severe weather, and this is happening all over the country and the world.
So, why would our federal government propose a rule that puts us more endangered by eliminating the authority to regulate greenhouse gas (carbon) emissions?
We all know the answer. Our federal government is governed in a way that hosts the rich and powerful one like the fossil fuel industry. It is not trying to protect or help us. This proposed rule revision is to partially assist the automobile industry, and I’m not even sure that all the segments of the industry support it. It will eliminate regulations that require vehicles to reduce carbon emissions. In addition, potentially power plants and other industries will not have to reduce carbon emissions.
Fidldlehead Farms processes the production and combination of biocrhew, known as net negative carbon emission technology.
And wait, here is the worse part: EPA said, “We have removed all greenhouse gas emissions for motor vehicles and engines, we have restored the consumer selection and reduces the cost of living in all products delivered to the Americans, and we have given the ability to buy a safe and affordable car for their families”. This is green washing.
They justify this rule, claiming that not to regulate carbon emissions will make the price of vehicles and goods cheaper for you. Don’t fall for that. The costs of dealing with the climate crisis that will worsen if we do not cut our carbon emissions are much more serious and costly than the cost of a vehicle or the products provided by trucks. They are in hundreds of billions of dollars a year and are increasing. Lives are disappearing; Millions of people cannot be measured every year because of the burning of fossil fuels and the suffering of human beings.
For verification of this, I direct you to the fifth national climate assessment https://nca2023.globalchang.gov/ and the sixth IPCC evaluation https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-rePort/ar6/.
We hope you will join me to express your objection to EPA to cancel the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. It exists until September 15th. Your comments can be as simple as I object to this rule because it will harm my family.
Send your comments to A-Rocket@epa.gov. EPA proposed rule to read more about this rule: 2009 Dangerous finding and re -evaluation of greenhouse gas tool standards.
There is a lot of danger here, and contrary to EPA’s claim that this will help you financially, there is more than your family budget. History will show that this can be the worst act of this administration unless we enter a nuclear war. A clear ignorance for our health and safety or wallet is not overlooked. It is not rational, it is based on science or reality.
Tallahassee will cancel us to cancel the finding of danger. It will harm our children and grandchildren. It will harm our close and distant neighbors. We can’t ignore this.
