Ugh. The EPA is about to
roll back critical environmental protections.
I can understand a lot of the arguments on the right- even if I don't agree with them I can see why they're making the argument they're making.
But I will NEVER understand the way the right decided to make pushing back environmental regulations a core part of their politics. Even if you are one of the people who doesn't believe in human-made climate change (and dear god PLEASE read some nonpartisan studies)- do you REALLY think that if we continue to pollute our air and water at this rate, that nothing bad will ever happen? Do you really think that having an island of plastic in the middle of the ocean that's
three times the size of France will have no consequences?
Conservatives care about their kids and grandkids as much as anyone else, and they're destroying the only world they have to live on.
It's just so incredibly illogical and dangerous to wait until things are so bad that you can't deny it any longer before you finally admit that it's time to do something.
