The Trump administration wants to overturn a key 2009 Environmental Protection Agency finding that underpins much of the federal government’s actions to rein in climate change.

The EPA has crafted a proposal that would undo the government’s “endangerment finding,” a determination that pollutants from burning fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can be regulated under the Clean Air Act. The finding has long served as the foundation for a host of policies and rules to address climate change. The EPA’s proposal to revoke the finding is currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

    Well, that’s climate change solved. Any extreme weather events are now because of god or supervillains controlling the weather or something, I mean who cares?

      I found the supervillains weather machine out in the open. The dude did not even try to hide it.

      I understand this equipment is also partially government funded by the deep state.
