Yup. Without planning or support, and during a pandemic, Trump was able to repeal 112 environmental regulations in his first term. He’ll definitely be more damaging this time around.

He already said he wants to divy up all protected lands and sell them to the highest bidder. All your national parks will become playgrounds of the 1% and off limits to vile proles such as us.
Curious, How many of those regulation were put back place in the last four years?
Regulations are written by Congress. The Republicans controlled the House this term, so not many. Legislation is much quicker and easier to repeal than to enact.
Many of the climate actions that can be directly overseen by the President have been addressed by Biden. He rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, revoked the Keystone Pipeline permit, created a 13 million acre federal petroleum reserve for Alaskan wildlife, greatly increased oil site lease cost, signed $7B in solar subsidies, invested $66B in passenger rail, enacted the Inflation Reduction act to support clean energy, increased energy efficiency standards on cars, appliances, and industry, and created new permitting rules to streamline transmission lines, all in one term.
Informative, Thank you.
Seems stupid to get rid of pfa, and lead enforcement. That will affect even the dickheads who are repealing the laws.
Not when you have money to mitigate or even remove problems. The 1% are a sheltered bunch. It's like The Purge movies. The people that commoners would probably like to get to are the most protected by their money and what it can buy.
Hah lol no. PFAS are so pervasive already that you get exposure from wind coming off the ocean at a beach. Only way the 1% can keep themselves safe from pollutants would be to buy hermetically sealed bunkers to live in and never come out. Oh wait, never mind...
Lol no.
"You can just buy a different environment" is an immediately self-disproving statement.
They don't care. They will be in the hospital dying of cancer and mail in their Trump vote.
Trump-brand cancer!
