There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Thank you, Bruce!!! ✊🇺🇸

Hold fast this time, Senator!! ✊

He should consider taking a late night drive. Maybe stop by the Lincoln Memorial and talk football with some college kids.

I love The Atlantic and don’t mind paying for it. Appreciate thoughtful writing during this dark time.

Tom’s seen enough. He’s calling it. 👍

Yep 👍

I never wanted Auburn to win so badly in my life

All this suffering is so painful and all this harm is so dangerous and so prone to propagate because we are so utterly interconnected to each other and the living Earth. That same feature (it's not a bug) could be the source of our joy and healing.

Hewitt is one of many reasons why I canceled my WaPo subscription. Also Bret Stephens.

Yep. Since the invasion of Iraq, kinda feels like we’re not the good guys anymore. 🫤

We’re gonna miss her. 😥

Same here brah 👍🤣

HELL YEAH!! ✊😃

It’s getting ugly, sir.

Climate tipping points are being crossed, scientists warn ahead of COP30 Global warming is crossing dangerous thresholds sooner than expected with the world’s coral reefs now in an almost irreversible die-off, marking what scientists on Monday described as the first “tipping point” in climate-driven ecosystem collapse.

“Coral reefs now in an almost irreversible die-off.” As the coral reefs go…so do many other species.

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas Scientists are beginning to understand the sudden loss of sea ice in Antarctica – and there is growing evidence that it represents a permanent shift with potentially catastrophic consequences

Antarctica may have crossed a tipping point that leads to rising seas. Growing evidence of permanent shift Without adequate sea ice formation, their melting rates will accelerate, with the potential to cause extreme global sea level rise.

I hope that you’re right 👍

Yeah everyone looked annoyed lol

Excellent piece. I would be interested in an elaboration on what you identify as the Democratic Party’s totalitarian behavior. Asking in good faith.

Yep 👍

This is not a particularly new finding; as Susan Soloman and colleagues put it in their groundbreaking 2009 paper, "the climate change that takes place due to increases in carbon dioxide concentration is largely irreversible for 1,000 years after emissions stop" www.pnas.org/doi/10....

Groundwater is drying out, heating up, and causing sea level rise Overuse of groundwater has created zones of “mega-drying” around the world — and caused more sea level rise than Greenland’s ice sheets.

Overpumping of groundwater accounts for 44‰ of global sea level rise—versus 37% from Greenland + 19% from Antarctica. Because after water is put to human use, it escapes into the ocean.

And groundwater is a finite resource. In some areas, so much has already been drained, aquifers have collapsed

EPA moves to end climate regulation under Clean Air Act The agency proposal would rescind the landmark “endangerment finding,” which says that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health.

Our efforts to lock in as much heat as possible for future generations continue unabated.

The earth is big. Water is powerful. Fire too. Also viruses.

Exponential growth can take things from tiny warnings to unmanageable problems pretty darn quick.

The human is tiny and 100% dependent on the living planet.

There’s a thing in wargames and strategic sims where you can tell from the jump where an opponent is going land their first blows, and there’s fuck all you can do to prevent it, and the trick is to stay focused and not let despair become an opposing force multiplier.

Warming climate will only increase migration from the global south - possibly causing long term shift towards authoritarianism in northern developed nations.

Thought you were gonna follow it up with “Here’s why that’s bad for Joe Biden.” 😆

Shout out to Rome for having a long decline that was almost imperceptible moment to moment. What a dream.

Yep. Any hope that I had that humanity will even marginally address climate change has evaporated over the last two months.
