P
Trump just rolled back Biden-era restrictions on methane, a greenhouse gas that can trap 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide. Oil billionaire Jeffery Hildebrand, a major Trump donor, is set to reap the benefits. (Published June)
I
Global warming is making the world greener and more fertile with longer growing seasons and shorter hunger seasons. Why do you think this is a bad thing? Is it just because people whose continued employment is entirely predicated on scaring you say so?
M
Trump is gutting rules forcing drillers to find and fix methane leaks. Methane traps 80 times more heat than CO₂ over 20 years, fueling climate change and extreme weather. He chose oil profits over our future.
A
The fun part about ending restrictions means absolutely no reporting. So when you look up the top poluting countries in the world remember that the ones that measure are going to look worse than the ones that don't.
C
They all love the song “My Way” because it ultimately glorifies living like a petulant child your whole life
L
trump knows the world will go on without him, and he finds that completely unacceptable.
