#EllasLaw | Ella Roberta Adoo Kissi-Debrah died tragically - aged nine - on 15 February 2013. #AirPollution was listed as one of the medical causes of death after a long campaign by her mother @EllaRobertaFdn won a second inquest cleanair.london/hot-topics/ell…
#EllasLaw | Coroner's 'Report to Prevent Future Deaths' said:
"@WHO guidelines should be seen as minimum requirements. Legally binding targets based on @WHO guidelines would reduce the number of deaths from air pollution in the UK"
@GreenJennyJones' #CleanAirHRBill does it!

With @JoeBiden as President & a GOP Senate, many ppl are asking: What executive action can Biden take to fight the #ClimateCrisis?
We @CBD_Climate have a plan for that: the #ClimatePresident Action Plan! Here are the TOP 10 Actions Biden can take without Congress (a thread):
We @CBD_Climate have a plan for that: the #ClimatePresident Action Plan! Here are the TOP 10 Actions Biden can take without Congress (a thread):
1/ Without Congress, Biden can declare a climate emergency under the Nat'l Emergencies Act. This w/d allow him to reinstate crude oil export ban and quickly promote rapid clean energy development. #ClimatePresident
2/ Without Congress, Biden can 1) direct @Interior to halt all fossil fuel lease sales & permits, ban #fracking, & phase out extraction on fed land/water under existing law; and 2) direct @EPA to issue strong pollution rules for FF sector. #ClimatePresident

EPA’s proposal to maintain ozone pollution at its current level violates the core purpose of these standards under the #CleanAirAct: to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety. act.ucsusa.org/2XY2V0P
TODAY is the last day to register to present oral comments at the Proposed Ozone NAAQS Hearing on August 31 and September 1. You can register here: epa.gov/ground-level-o…
If you would like to listen to the public hearing but do not plan to testify, you can register here: epa.gov/ground-level-o…
The Trump admin’s EPA has launched a new attack on the #CleanAirAct, this time by reinventing math. Tell the EPA to not sideline the science that supports strong air pollution standards. File a comment by Monday, August 3. Protect our clean air today! act.ucsusa.org/2PaLl5a
Why is the admin messing with math? Because the science on air pollution is inconvenient for powerful industries who want to roll back public protections. @GretchenTG and @_aploy explain: blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/h…
If passed, the admin’s brazen proposal to manipulate cost-benefit analysis would severely limit the EPA’s long-term ability to issue strong, science-based air pollution standards. And it would exacerbate long-standing environmental injustices. act.ucsusa.org/3fewdhu

The Obama @EPA issued a rule under the #CleanAirAct to fight climate change by cutting carbon emissions from new power plants. Now, in a hand-out to polluters, @realDonaldTrump’s EPA is trying to swap in something much weaker.
And in the process, they’re ignoring big changes in the market for carbon capture technology, including new bipartisan incentives I fought to pass into law last year.
This Trump proposal is another example of fossil fuel interests capturing the #EPA and tearing down important environmental protections. Read my comment to the EPA: whitehouse.senate.gov/news/release/w…
George H.W. Bush on Climate change:
Also Bush:
"We know that the future of the Earth must not be compromised. We bear a sacred trust in our tenancy here and a covenant with those most precious to us—our children and theirs."
"We know that the future of the Earth must not be compromised. We bear a sacred trust in our tenancy here and a covenant with those most precious to us—our children and theirs."
President Bush, like #RhodeIsland’s John Chafee, understood the #Republican Party’s legacy of conservation as a core conservative value.
As a battle looms ahead, let’s take a look back at where we’ve been & why #CleanCarStandards are so important.
Once upon a time, CA’s fight for #cleanercars emerged from a thick layer of yellowish gray #smog with a metallic taste & eye-stinging character...

When Governor Ronald Reagan signed the law creating CARB in 1968, California had been fighting the #smog monster for over 20 years with regulations to clean up tailpipe pollution
Governor Reagan fought hard to protect CA’s authority to set its own #cleanercarstandards under the newly passed #CleanAirAct, signed by President Nixon a few years after LA’s #smog made the cover of Time Magazine
This Republican control over all parts of our government defies comparison. On second thought, it feels like a Biblical punishment..Remember the 10 Plagues of Egypt?

The Clean Water Rule protected smaller bodies of water, like streams and wetlands, from discharges of all kinds of pollutants. But not anymore: #RepublicanPlague #CleanWaterAct

The EPA has delayed implementation for 2 years as the agency “clarifies” (read: eliminates)the rule.The decision is a clear gift to industrial polluters who loudly protested the reg in 2015 & GOP lawmakers who have falsely claimed the rule regulates “puddles on private property.”
