OVERPOPULATION Is THE Major Problem Today. It Causes Traffic Jams, High Food Prices, High Housing Prices, Plagues and Global Warming.

Thankfully, Mother Nature is Inventing New Diseases To Reduce Overpopulation. tRUMP's Coronavirus Is Just The First of Many Plagues to Come...

I Believe the Needs of The Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few or the Stockholders. 

I Question the Validity of the Entire Profession of Medicine. People are Living Longer, Thanks to the "Wonders" of Modern Medicine. A Classic Example of the Needs of the ONE Outweighing the Needs of the Many. Old People are Refusing to Die and We Consume Housing, Food, Air, Drinking Water, Plastic, Computers and Electricity. 

The Polluting Actions of ONE Billion People Did NOT Cause Global Warming. HOWEVER, When that Same Actions are Done by SEVEN Billion People... The Temperature Goes UP!

Recommended Action: Make Birth Control and Abortion FREE and LEGAL All Over the World. Did You Notice that in Catholic Countries Like Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras the QUALITY OF LIFE is so bad that they are Walking North to the USA to Escape Their FAILED CULTURE... Really! I'm Not Making This UP!

President Donald Trump made a pledge in his 2017 State of the Union address to "promote clean air and water," but his administration has reversed or proposed rollbacks to major air pollution protections, emissions standards and drilling and extraction regulations. He's also slashed the EPA budget; the current proposal is to cut the budget by a third.


https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/3/29/18286853/trump-epa-air-pollution-soot 
Climate change garners most of the headlines, but the Trump administration is pushing a much larger and broader pro-pollution agenda whose latest manifestation is a push at the EPA to overturn a long-established scientific consensus that fine particulate pollution (colloquially “soot”) kills people.

Climate Strikers blast EPA suspension of pollution laws: "How are we supposed to protect our lungs?"

Trump administration has created another "loophole" for environmental destruction, Greta Thunberg and others argue... "The EPA uses this global pandemic to create loopholes for destroying the environment," Thunberg posted on Twitter. "This is a schoolbook example for what we need to start looking out for."

A Cruel April Fools’ Day Prank On The Economy And The Environment...

On Tuesday, March 31, the Trump Administration announced it was rolling back Obama-era auto emission targets. Unfortunately, this is not an April Fools’ Day joke – it is official government policy, policy that makes a mockery of the name of one of the sponsoring agencies: The Environmental Protection Agency.
Even for those gentle readers who are somehow not convinced of the overwhelming scientific evidence of fossil carbon emission-based climate change, the present Administration’s rollback of efficiency requirements is simply bad public policy.

CLEAN AIR AND WATER ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO AMERICAN VOTERS and Trump is Causing a Disaster that will do Harm for Decades, maybe Hundreds of Years.

 His campaign consultants told him that he is unpopular with Young People and Women... Therefore, today he made a speech with Cabinet Secretaries Perry and Wheeler telling lies to the People of the USA about how wonderful their Environmental Policy is. FACT CHECK: IT IS NOT WONDERFUL!

Totally Creepy ExxonValdez TV AD
Oil and gas companies are spending millions of dollars on campaigns to fight climate regulations at the same time as touting their dedication to a low-carbon future, according to a joint analysis by the Guardian and InfluenceMap.
Their global PR campaigns on social media promote a commitment to a green, low-carbon future, but across the US in particular, specific local campaigns are obstructing tighter regulations on fossil fuel extraction.
In many cases, oil and gas companies are using direct advertising but some targeted lobbying appears to be more opaque. It is channelled through so called “community” groups – which are being funded by fossil fuel companies.

Trump is an Ecological Disaster. The Damage He Has Done Will Take Decades if Not Hundreds of Years to Undo. IF EVER... That's The National Geographic's Opinion... He Is Freaking CRAZY!

Headline:15 ways the Trump administration has changed environmental policies... For the past three years, National Geographic has been tracking how this administration's decisions will influence air, water, and wildlife.

Since the Trump administration took office, it has been fighting what they call an “anti-growth” agenda put in place by the Obama administration. Regulations that required businesses to spend time and money to meet the former administration's environmental standards were swiftly reviewed and, in many cases, rolled back.

National Geographic has been tracking the decisions that will impact America's land, water, air, and wildlife. What started with curtailing information when the president took office in 2017 has evolved into actions like executive orders that open public land for business.

Autobiography: I remember that we did not have air conditioning in elementary school. When it got hot we folded up paper to make a fan. We also folded a sheet of newspaper to make a HAT... and a four sided thing to tell the future... sort of like a Magic Eight Ball.

 I also knew how to fold a CUBE... I have forgotten everything I ever knew about paper folding... 

I remember Board Games. Risk, Chess, Monopoly, Parcheesi... and then years later when I got married we played Master Mind and my wife always won. 

I owned a Blacklight. And a Lot of Blacklight Paint... I painted the blades of a fan different colors and when the fan was spinning it created unusual colors due to persistence of vision... 

I remember owning a Transistor Radio. I listened to Giants Baseball Games. I was not the only kid who was a Giant Fan... as a Matter of fact, John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival tells the story of how he wrote the Song "Centerfield" about his Childhood Hero Willie Mays... He also listened to Games on His Transistor Radio... 

I remember owning a Brownie Camera. It used Film and If you "forgot" to wind it between pictures you could force the camera to take double exposures... a very "Trippy" Effect... 


Then decades Later I took B&W Photography at Humboldt State University and we did the developing in a Darkroom. That's a wonderful experience because you do all that physical manipulation of film and holders and chemicals in total darkness while looking at swirling rainbow hallucinations... Even when I am not "ON DRUGS" I see a lot of checkerboard style patterns in the dark that dance. Then the same teacher taught us Photoshop the next semester... EPIC CLASSES...  That was the only time I used an Apple Computer. I knew I was "home" when it asked me if I was trying to upload a series of photographs in order to create an animated GIF... that was EXACTLY  what I was trying to do and It offered to upload all the pictures for me Automatically! For homework we had to design a WEB Based Store... and The specific Task was to show a product (A Coffee Cup) spinning around so the customer could see all sides... We worked in teams to do our projects and an Older student taught me how to create an animated GIF... That was a big Idea that our teacher had... We should teach ourselves Computer Science because after we graduate we were not allowed to ask the teacher questions... We should research the answers ourselves...

We should Make Tap Water Safe instead of Selling Bottled Water. What happens when you take a shower? The pollution gets in right thru your skin...

Trump's EPA is in favor of more pollution. They are bought off by Corporations that want to save money disposing toxic waste by just dumping it right onto the ground or in the river. 

Remember: A Vote for Trump is a Vote for More Pollution. Your Children will be drinking toxic water and COUGHING... 

Now Trump wants to Re-Classify Nuclear Waste so they can drive it all over the country... Couldn't do that before because Atomic Waste was so toxic that Transportation Laws prevented trucking... SOOOOOO... Call Atomic Waste Safe and WHEE! Laws don't apply... I think we should rename it... Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty and serve it as a Part of this Complete Breakfast!

The 1948 Donora smog was a historic air inversion that resulted in a wall of smog that killed 20 people and caused respiratory problems for 6,000 people of the 14,000 population of Donora, Pennsylvania,[2] a mill town on the Monongahela River 24 miles (39 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. The event is commemorated by the Donora Smog Museum.

TELL CONGRESS: SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE TRUMP EPA POISONING OUR BABIES’ BRAINS. Trump’s EPA — under the leadership of acting head, Andrew Wheeler — has hit its lowest, most cynical level in its radical agenda to destroy protections against pollution.

EPA has launched a process to sabotage and ultimately destroy our Mercury and Air Toxics Standards. These are protections that keep a terrible poison from harming our babies' brains. This is a terrifying development because of what it means for our health. It’s also terrifying because it shows that Trump's EPA will stop at nothing to protect polluter profits.

This is an outrage — urge your representatives to speak out against EPA's attack on the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards.




Burning Coal Caused the "London Fog" - 12 Thousand People Died from Air Pollution. Coal Ash is a Serious Solid Waste problem too. It leaches poisons into drinking water. Solar, Wind and Hydro are Safe, Clean and Infinite.

The cause of the London Fog was a weather pattern that kept all the coal smoke near the ground... If you think about this in a GLOBAL SCALE,  all the coal smoke now is kept near the planet Earth... Even if we dig up coal in West Virginia and ship it overseas, when they burn it the air pollution stays near planet Earth and Blows all over... We are trapped inside a bubble of air pollution...

Donald Trump received One Million Dollars for his Presidential Campaign from the Murray Coal Company. Robert Murray also donated $300,000 to the Inauguration Party. Magically, Donald Trump invented the Term "Clean Coal" and recommended that the Tennessee Valley Authority NOT close down two Coal Fired Power Plants. TVA Disobeyed Trump's Tweet and closed the power plants anyway... they said that Coal is unbelievably expensive... The State of Wyoming has used Taxpayer Dollars to subsidize Coal Fired Power Plants... they simply cannot compete with solar and wind due to the high cost. 

The Great Smog of London, or Great Smog of 1952, was a severe air-pollution event that affected the British capital of London in early December 1952. A period of cold weather, combined with an anticyclone and windless conditions, collected airborne pollutants—mostly arising from the use of coal—to form a thick layer of smog over the city. It lasted from Friday, 5 December, to Tuesday, 9 December 1952, and then dispersed quickly when the weather changed.

The minor constituents of Coal ash may include one or more of the following elements or compounds found in trace concentrations: arsenic, beryllium, boron, cadmium, chromium, hexavalent chromium, cobalt, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, selenium, strontium, thallium, and vanadium.

In Poland, local movements are challenging the nation’s addiction to coal. Just Like they are Doing in Germany... Poland is the Second Largest Coal Mining Country after Germany.

A climate activist wears a mask with the word “Coal” struck-through in Polish as hundreds of environmentalists march to campaign against global warming, in Warsaw, Poland. 



Ending Poland’s dependency on this climate-disastrous industry will not be easy. The ruling nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS) government, which has been in power since 2015, almost considers coal-mining a patriotic duty that promotes sovereignty from Russian energy sources, and it has resisted EU-wide anti-coal climate legislation. Similarly, Poland has faced disciplinary measures from the EU about its anti-democratic judicial reforms. This makes the citizens’ assembly in Gdansk all the more remarkable in the way that it deals with climate change through a democratic innovation.

EPA quietly telling states they can pollute more. Another Example of REPUBLICANS DOING EVIL in order to increase corporate profits.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/31/politics/epa-air-pollution/index.html
A state can emit 43% more pollution across state lines than before...

"EPA is allowing more harmful air pollution to be sent from big polluters in one state to neighboring states, refusing to control the pollution, then lying about what is an obvious rollback," said John Walke, the director of clean air at the Natural Resources Defense Council 

Trump's EPA plans to relax Laws about Mercury Pollution from Coal Fired Power Plants. Our Health is not as important as Corporate Profits...

People familiar with History remember the "London Fog"... People burnt coal in their heaters and the air pollution cause countless deaths... "The Great Smog of London, or Great Smog of 1952, was a severe air-pollution event that affected the British capital of London in early December 1952. A period of cold weather, combined with an anticyclone and windless conditions, collected airborne pollutants—mostly arising from the use of coal—to form a thick layer of smog over the city."


https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-epa-coal/trump-administration-reconsiders-rule-on-coals-mercury-pollution-idUSKCN1LE2TV
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said on Wednesday it was reconsidering part of an Obama-era rule on emissions of mercury from coal-fired plants, in the latest move by the administration to ease regulations on an industry important to President Donald Trump.

https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/1/26/16936104/epa-trump-toxic-air-pollution
The Trump administration is lifting key controls on toxic air pollution. The EPA says its reading of the Clean Air Act means polluters can be held to lower standards.


EPA (Enable Pollution Agency) says Breathing Clean Air is not important. Corporate Profits Rule. Scott Pruitt is destroying America.

What’s in a silver dollar? Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb? What’s the purpose of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency? Some questions answer themselves, but EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt gets the easiest one completely wrong. He’s made it his job to protect polluters and put the environment at risk. It’s not the agency’s mission that needs changing―it’s the administrator. Scott Pruitt’s got to go. That’s not a position NRDC takes lightly. We’ve disagreed with EPA administrators before. Pruitt, though, is intent on making the agency fail. That’s why we’ve joined with other environmental advocacy groups to call on President Trump to replace Pruitt with someone who’ll protect the people, not the polluters.

National Resources Defense Council works to safeguard the earth—its people, its plants and animals, and the natural systems on which all life depends.


EPA ditching clean water. Trump apointee favors polluters and values profit over people's Health.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt seems to think businesses have guaranteed rights to pollute our air and water.

As Oklahoma's attorney General, Pruitt let chicken processors dump 300,000 tons of waste into an estuary of the Illinois River. Now, President Trump's choice to head the EPA is attacking rules that would reduce carbon and methane, two greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. He's set his sights on a clean water rule imposed in 2015 to clarify which waterways are federally protected to safeguard people from toxic water.

No Nukes: Trump announces efforts to revive nuclear energy, export more American coal. A disaster in the making.

Obviously, Nuclear Energy is a disastrous way to create electricity. The depleted uranium waste is impossible to dispose of safely. It remains radioactive for thousands of years and must be stored in an armed repository to prevent terrorists from stealing it and creating a dirty bomb.

Coal is also a horrible way to create electricity as it releases deadly air pollution. Even if we sell the coal overseas, the pollution will be carried by the wind over our heads... creating global warming.



President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a number of energy initiatives, including a review of U.S. nuclear energy policy and efforts to make sure new coal plants are built overseas. Trump said his administration will attempt to expand the nuclear energy sector by launching a "complete review" of current policy to identify ways to revive the industry.
