It would be one history‘s great plot twists if Trump has now managed to alert the entire world to why they should transition away from single-use fossils to renewables as quickly as any possible - even while having dismissed global warming.

And Hormuz isn‘t even Asia‘s biggest risk.

Is it really a war?

Casey Means still doesn’t have the votes. Keep the letters coming.

Sharing ahead of Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing tomorrow:

Have been listening in to today's hearing. So far, she's dodged questions on vaccines and Tammy Baldwin noted Means made $325K shilling supplements over the last 2 years. But sure, vaccine advocates are the one making bank. 🙃

🚨🔥 NEW: Increasing mortality from wildfire smoke is directly traceable to greenhouse gas emissions. In our new paper in @pnas.org , we show that every megaton of CO2 emitted costs the US more than 10 million dollars in health costs from wildfire smoke. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Trump Administration Announces That We Don’t Know Where the Sun Goes at Night After deciding carbon dioxide does no harm, it was the logical next move.

Best commentary I've seen on the repeal of the endangerment finding:

www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

The Air We Breathe Is A Health Equity Issue Public health is rooted in prevention. We act when strong evidence shows that exposure causes harm. On air pollution, the data has been clear for decades.

The History of the Endangerment Finding The Trump Administration has repealed the landmark scientific finding that provides a legal basis for tackling climate change.

“How can you go from science which was very, very strong in 2009 and is only stronger now in 2026 to saying science isn't strong enough to support it. You cannot. That's not a scientific judgment. That's a political judgment.” My statement in Time.

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

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

🔥 Donald Trump & EPA administrator Lee Zeldin have officially made #climate denial U.S. policy. Their decision to repeal the #EndangermentFinding is a slap in the face of Americans who are being battered by extreme weather, wildfires, droughts & other climate disasters.

YOU CAN PRINT THAT... honestly, too many outlets not being able to share this obvious and dangerous truth is a big part of how we've gotten to where we are.

US repeals key ‘endangerment finding’ that climate change is a public threat Overturning the 2009 decision means billions of extra tonnes of greenhouse-gas emissions over the next three decades.

Today’s action “is a rejection of the most basic laws of physics”, says #climate scientist Friederike Otto.

I report on the EPA revoking its own ruling on the danger of greenhouse gases:
