The EPA and the Trump Administration threatening California and withholding federal funding because of its failure to submit completed pollution controlled plans

https://www.latimes.com/politics/sto...ir-act-failure

In Tuesday’s letter, [EPA Administrator Andrew] Wheeler writes that California “has the worst air quality in the United States,” alleging that 34 million people in California live in areas that don’t meet federal air pollution standards — “more than twice as many people as any other state in the country.”

That's rich. Take away their ability to enforce stricter vehicle emissions standards, which they've had in place for decades to help combat pollution, then threaten to withhold funding because air isn't clean enough. Fucking amazing.

For what?

probably leeching money from gullible rich nations? It's not like these jackals have any tangible solutions apart from "pay me"

Here is another thing, why didn't the climate kid file a complaint against China at the UN?

Climate kids*



Also, they only targeted five countries; Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina, and Turkey

The complaint singles out those countries because they are among the 44 that have accepted the convention's jurisdiction to hear complaints against them. They are also five of the world's biggest historical and current emitters of greenhouse gases.

Some of the world's other top greenhouse gas emitters are notably not named in the complaint.

The United States -- which has contributed more global warming-inducing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than any other country -- cannot be held in violation because it has not ratified the part of the treaty that allows children to seek justice for potential violations.

And China, which currently emits more greenhouse gases than any other country, has also not signed onto that portion of the treaty.

China does not give a single fuck

The 5 countries named in the suit are the top carbon emitters among the nations that have ratified the Third Optional Protocol on the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The protocol allows children to bring complaints directly to the UN. China has ratified the Convention (the U.S. is the only nation that has not) but not the Optional Protocol.

Saw the American Factory documentary the other night and they’re truly pretty gangsta about all this.

ah makes sense now.

Would anyone/everyone mind sending me links to notable climate change studies? I'm already doing a reach piece on the election and I need to outsource some brainpower.

I can read through them myself, I just don't have the time to go looking.

CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crop worldwide.

Oh hey one of the signers on it has a rational wiki page.

Some other stuff he's been wrong about:

Claiming that the link between smoking and lung cancer is "weak."[12]
Satellite measurements showing no warming.[13]
Decrease in water vapor would allow carbon dioxide to escape from the atmosphere. (He has since accepted this as refuted and calls it an "old view.")[14]
Solar and volcanic forcings were severely downplayed to fudge data.[15]
Misrepresenting the link between warming and hurricanes.[16]
