The US’s Environmental Protection Agency has a new generative artificial intelligence tool. And it believes climate change is dangerous. However, the AI tool threatens to provide answers that contradict the agency’s Trump-nominated leader, Administrator Lee Zeldin. E&E News has more:

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.

“More people will die,” said Cory Zigler, a professor of biostatistics at Brown who has studied #air #pollution #deaths from #coal-fired #PowerPlants. “More of this type of pollution that we know kills people will be in the air.”

…Virtually all the benefits from the rules come from restricting the burning of coal, #oil & natural #gas. The #FossilFuel industry was a heavy contributor to #Trump’s campaign & #Republicans overall.

#Trump’s #EPA rollbacks would weaken rules projected to save billions of dollars—& thousands of lives.
When the head of the EPA announced a wide-ranging rollback of #environmental #regulations, he said it would put a “dagger through the heart of #ClimateChange *religion*” [whatever that is] & introduce a “Golden Age”for the American economy.
What Lee Zeldin didn’t mention: how ending the rules could have devastating consequences to human #health.

AP News · Pollution rules targeted by EPA are projected to save billions of dollars and thousands of livesWhen the head of the Environmental Protection Agency earlier this year announced a massive rollback of environmental regulations, he said it would spark a “Golden Age” for the American economy. But Administrator Lee Zeldin didn't say anything about the devastating consequences to people that would likely result from gutting the rules. An examination by The Associated Press finds that the rules EPA wants to eliminate are projected to save more than 30,000 lives and $275 billion every year. Relaxing the rules would mean millions more tons of pollutants, especially tiny airborne particles that can lodge in lungs and cause myriad health problems. It would also mean higher emissions of the greenhouse gases that are driving Earth's warming to deadlier levels.
