The Second Biggest Driver of Climate Change

Scientists Warn that Climate Change will only get Worse unless we Drastically Cut Back on All Climate-Warming Pollutants by 2050. But President Trump and his EPA continue to do All they can to let every Major Climate-Polluting Industry off Scot-Free.

Recently, Trump's EPA announced Plans to Repeal Critical Regulations that keep the Oil and Gas Industry from Leaking Dangerous Methane Gas into the Atmosphere.

Methane is the Second-Biggest Driver of Climate Change after Carbon Dioxide, Trapping more than 80 times as much Heat in the Atmosphere, Pound-for-Pound, as CO2. And the Oil and Gas Industry is the Largest Industrial Source of Methane Emissions, spewing Hundreds of Thousands of Tons of the Climate-Busting Gas into our Air each year.

Trump's attempt to Weaken Methane Protections is a Blatant Giveaway to his Fossil Fuel Allies at the Expense of the American People, Clean Air, our Health, and the Future of our Planet.

For now, the EPA has to Accept and Respond to Public Comments on this Dangerous Rollback.

Americans overwhelmingly Support Federal Efforts to Cut Methane Pollution. Even some of the Largest Oil and Gas Companies have Admitted that they can Live with Strong Methane Regulations on the Books.

Yet Trump's EPA has already tried Three times to Roll Back Methane Regulations, but so far Unsuccessfully. Now, EPA Chief and Former Fossil Fuel Lobbyist Andrew Wheeler has Unveiled the Fourth and Most Sweeping Proposal: To entirely Repeal the Methane Limits already in Place for New Oil and Gas Sources and to give Existing Operations a Permanent Pass.

This comes on the heels of the Trump Administration's many other Attacks on Bedrock Climate Regulations and Protections against Air Pollution, such as the Landmark Clean Power Plan and Lifesaving Clean Car Standards, and it's All for Polluter Profits.

In short, if Trump's Lieutenants at the EPA Succeed, we will be Left with Do-Nothing Standards for: Power Plants and Vehicles, No Limits at all on Methane from Oil and Gas, and New Hurdles for Curbing Climate Pollution from other Industries.

This, of course, Runs Counter to everything we have Learned about Avoiding Climate Catastrophe.
