Donald Trump and his cronies have done it again – launching yet another assault on our environment, our health, and our future.
In what is being shamelessly touted as the “biggest deregulatory action in U.S. history,” Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the reckless leadership of Administrator Lee Zeldin, has unveiled an unprecedented rollback of environmental protections.
This move is nothing short of an environmental disaster in the making, aimed at obliterating decades of progress in the fight against pollution and climate change.
The EPA, an agency founded in 1970 under a Republican President to ensure clean air and water for all Americans, is now being used as a weapon against its very mission. Zeldin’s proposals would dismantle critical regulations on emissions limits, wastewater management, and air quality standards – all in service of fossil fuel interests and corporate polluters.
As we stand at the brink of a global warming threshold, the consequences of these rollbacks will be catastrophic. Air pollution will worsen. Sea levels will continue to rise. Water contamination will spread. And all of this will fuel even more climate disasters, from record-breaking wildfires to devastating hurricanes.
But climate change isn’t just about extreme weather – it’s also reshaping our world in ways many haven’t even considered. It threatens the number of satellites that can safely orbit Earth, increases the spread of fungal infections, and even puts industries like maple syrup production at risk.
And as always, the burden will fall heaviest on vulnerable communities – those already suffering the worst effects of climate change.
Let’s be clear: This is not just another political maneuver. This is an outright attack on public health, on the air we breathe, and on the planet we are leaving for our children and grandchildren.
The Trump administration is deliberately ignoring established science, gambling with the well-being of every American to score political points with polluters and extremists.
