#USUmweltbehörde #EPA

Die #Trump-Regierung hat gestern die Environmental Protection Agency #EPA ihrer wichtigsten Zuständigkeiten beraubt – zum Beispiel ärmere Gemeinden vor Umweltverschmutzung zu schützen und #CO2-Emissionen zu reduzieren. Es entsteht eine Environmental Destruction Agency.

Ein paar Jahrzehnte in die drohende Zukunft gespult – was machen die Superreichen dann? Ein Szenario:

Verurteilte verlieren in den #USA das Wahlrecht. Das #FBI macht gerade Jagd auf Klimaschutz-Aktivist:innen, die unter #Biden Geld von der Umweltbehörde #EPA bekommen haben.

Das FBI bezeichnet die Aktivist*innen jetzt als Gruppe von Verschwörer*innen, die die EPA um Geld betrügen wollten.

With the dismantling of the EPA, education system, healthcare and organizations that prevent deadly diseases it’s very clear that Trump, Musk and the Republicans don’t give a flying fuck about the future of this country’s children.

Hm, die Apothekerschaft meint auch, dass es so mit Anfang April mit der #ePA auch nicht geht.

The #Trump admin is planning to close all Environmental Protection Agency ( #EPA ) offices.

~The decision comes after Mr. Zeldin (the administrator) canceled hundreds of grants… many designated for environmental justice (which the EPA defined in 2013 as ‘the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income’ w/ respect to environmental laws). Zeldin calls that ‘discrimination’.

Update. "US science rues ongoing demotion of research under President Trump"
https://physicsworld.com/a/us-science-rues-ongoing-demotion-of-research-under-president-trump/

"In his first cabinet meeting on 26 February, #Trump suggested that officials “use scalpels” when trimming their departments’ spending and personnel – rather than #Musk’s figurative chainsaw. But bosses at the Environmental Protection Agency (#EPA) still plan to cut its budget by about two-thirds…The White House’s attack on #climate science goes beyond just the EPA. In January, the US Department of #Agriculture removed almost all data on climate change from its website…The Trump administration has also barred #NASA’s now former chief scientist Katherine Calvin and members of the State Department from travelling to China for a planning meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Meanwhile, in a speech to African energy ministers in Washington on 7 March, US energy secretary Chris Wright claimed that coal has “transformed our world and made it better”, adding that climate change, while real, is not on his list of the world’s top 10 problems."
