Examples of #Trump #GoldStandard science:

"EPA says power plant carbon emissions aren’t dangerous. We asked 30 scientists: Here’s what they say."

AP News · Scientists: EPA's carbon emissions proposal is scientifically wrongThe Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency Wednesday proposed a new ruling that heat-trapping carbon gas “emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution.″ The Associated Press asked 30 different scientists, experts in climate, health and economics, about the scientific reality behind this proposal. Nineteen of them responded, all saying that the proposal was scientifically wrong and many of them called it disinformation. They said it was like saying cigarettes don't cause cancer, the world isn't round and arsenic isn't deadly. One said it was hard to find something dumber.

The 1996 act allows lawmakers to overturn rules that have been recently approved by the executive branch with a simple majority vote. #Republicans asserted that the act also allowed #Congress to overturn the #EPA waivers.

The #Senate passed the resolutions over the objections of the nonpartisan Senate #parliamentarian & an #independent #watchdog, which both had ruled that lawmakers lacked the legal authority to revoke the waivers.

…For more than 50 years, the #CleanAirAct has allowed #California to set pollution standards that are stricter than federal rules, as long as the state obtains waivers for them from the #EPA.
The resolutions #Trump signed Thurs also revoke waivers for 2 other CA #CleanAir policies. One blocks CA from requiring that ½ of all new #trucks sold in the #state be #electric by 2035. Another stops the state from putting limits on allowable #emissions of nitrogen oxide from #cars & trucks.

Frustrating that we have to oppose this EPA's unscientific proposed ruling.

"EPA says power plant carbon emissions aren’t dangerous. We asked 30 scientists: Here’s what they say"

"The Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday proposed a new ruling that heat-trapping carbon gas “emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution.’' "

AP News · EPA set to roll back rules limiting power plants' greenhouse gases, mercuryThe Environmental Protection Agency is poised to eliminate rules that limit greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas. It's part of a wide-ranging rollback of environmental regulations EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says will remove trillions of dollars in costs and “unleash” American energy. The EPA under President Donald Trump also plans to weaken a regulation that requires power plants to reduce emissions of mercury and other toxic pollutants. The planned rollbacks being announced Wednesday are meant to fulfill the Republican's pledge to “unleash American energy” and make it more affordable for Americans to heat their homes and operate businesses. Environmental groups vow to challenge the rules in court.

Trump cuts hundreds of #EPA #grants, leaving #cities on the hook for #climate resiliency
Critics argue the projects losing funding aren’t "woke," they’re essential.
Under the Trump administration, the EPA has canceled or interrupted hundreds of grants aimed at improving #health and severe #weather preparedness because the agency “determined that the grant applications no longer support administration priorities,” according to an emailed statement to Grist.
