Money. It's for money.
“We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age,’' EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in an essay in The Wall Street Journal.
They are Zealots of Mammon.
Golden as in piss colored.
What the fuck. I know people ignore climate change, it happens in some way or another everyday in my own life, but fuck.
dumb fucks don't realize that in a collapsed civilization on a burning planet their money and wealth is fucking worthless.. and with the speedrun they're on, there's no fucking way any of them are getting off planet, either.
Oh, so these aren't evil alien lizard people terraforming our planet for themselves?
I had that one on my "Batshit Crazy Things in 2026" bingo card...
The year's not over!
University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann called the EPA’s action “just the latest form of Republican climate denial. They can no longer deny climate change is happening, so instead they’re pretending it’s not a threat, despite the overwhelming scientific evidence that it is, perhaps, the greatest threat that we face today.”
Climate change isn't real, but even if it is,
It's not our fault, but even if it is,
It's not that bad, but even if it is,
There's nothing we can do about it.
-Climate Denier's Prayer.

USA is internationally a rogue nation, that doesn't respect international treaties anymore.
But this shit is hitting Americans directly too, because just as the government doesn't respect international agreements, they don't respect their own people.
I warned about it on social media hundreds of times all 3 times Trump was a Presidential candidate.
Don't vote for the psychopath, he doesn't care about anybody but himself, and it will be bad for everybody.
One would think this is kind of obvious, but to half the Americans apparently not.
Give the poorest white man someone to look down on and they'll empty their wallet for you.
This is MAGA in a nutshell.
“We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age,’' EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in an essay in The Wall Street Journal.
No wonder this admin has a problem with separation of church and state. They don't understand the word "religion". I reckon it's not because they're stupid or ignorant, they just choose to not understand it, like Upton Sinclair observed about money.
It's projection. They are religious nuts so they just assume everyone else is religious about something else. They don't understand science or climate change and why people "believe" in it so they assume it's indoctrination and religion.
They know what they're doing. They throw around "religion" and other shit because their fanbase is functionally illiterate.
Some know it's all bullshit, some are genuinely true believers. Always interesting to find out which are which
“In the face of overwhelming science, it’s impossible to think that the EPA could develop a contradictory finding that would stand up in court,” said David Doniger, a climate expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council
Expect the Trump administration to follow their current winning strategy: consistently lose in lower courts, appeal every ruling until it gets to the Supreme Court, Supreme Court makes up some new bullshit from an intentional misreading of history and hands Trump a victory.
99% of regulations exist for a good reason.
If the Republican party is anything other than a party of pedophiles, they are a party of deregulation, which is a great way to kill Americans.
Zeldin announced that? Lee Michael Zeldin? who currently lives in Long Island New York? That Lee Michael Zeldin?
The land of the Antichrist will fall dark … I'm seeing an increasing number of parallels to Revelation 16 in recent times. It's quite interesting, especially considering the history of that text: Threatening the Romans and Nero (the original and literal Anti-Christ). History doesn't repeat, it rhymes.
