Damn, I knew it was bad but not that bad. Thankfully, looks a lot of his shit is going to be overturned in court an a lot more will be undone by President Biden. My guess is his changing the cafe standards have little to no effect. Car companies know the next president can reenact them and Americans really do want better mileage.
Alaska looks pretty screwed.

I share your hopes. I wonder how much time Biden will have to spend undoing PINO before he can make the real eco progress we also desperately need.GoCubsGo wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 11:18 amDamn, I knew it was bad but not that bad.

Re: Tree Hugger Thread
Could be, but there's some law that makes it easier to undo EO's within 6 months or a year of their signing. PINO took advantage of it to cancel many actions that Obama waited too long to sign.

Not quite. Executive Orders can be revoked or modified at any time by any President or, unfortunately, President*. You may be thinking about regulations, that do have a review period and, after implementation, must go through another review period to be changed. But another thing Trump has done that can be fairly quickly undone is in how the agency administrators and Secretaries interpret and enforce existing regs.

This makes me sad:
Sierra Club reckons with the racism of founder John Muir
Good on the Sierra Club for being proactive, but I'll never look on Muir and his colleagues the same way again.

Rename Mt. Mitchell and Mitchell County, North Carolina, too!!! “At 6,684 feet or 2,037 metres high, Mt. Mitchell is the highest point east of the Mississippi River.”
He was a professor and acting president at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.... On August 18, 1888, University of North Carolina Alumni erected an obelisk memorializing him at his grave site atop Mt. Mitchell. On January 1st, 1915, high winds destroyed the monument. It was replaced 13 years later by the funeral cairn and plaque currently marking his tomb. "University" is misspelled on the plaque....

Hell, I want to know when they're gonna change the name of Spindale, NC. I just think it's sick to name a town for a hypothetical situation of Chip spinning Dale while Chip's finger is up Dale's ass. I can't believe they did this to start with. They must have all been drunk.

Re: Tree Hugger Thread
Great American Outdoors Act
The Great American Outdoors Act (H.R.1957) is a bill passed by the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Donald Trump on 4th August 2020. It has two major components: fully and permanently funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF), and providing $9.5 billion in funding to address a maintenance backlog at American national parks. The Associated Press wrote that it would be "the most significant conservation legislation enacted in nearly half a century."
Originally:
Finally, after being reintroduced by Rep Cory Gardner (R–CO):Introduced in the House of Representatives as H.R. 1957 by John Lewis (D–GA) on March 28, 2019
Passed the House of Representatives on April 9, 2019 (voice vote)
Passed the Senate on June 17, 2019 (73–25)
The Rep John Lewis legacy lives on . PINO is bragging about his very delayed endorsement in the tweets above .Signed into law by President Donald Trump on August 4, 2020
... Trump expressed a willingness to sign the act after being shown an impressive picture of land within Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park protected by LWCF funds (in 2020), despite previously opposing the LWCF. The LWCF, first established in 1965, had been made permanent by the 2019 John D. Dingell Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act but had not been permanently funded at that time.
The measure was supported by conservation organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and the League of Conservation Voters, while some animal husbandry (livestock) and mining groups opposed it. While supporting the bill, some Democrats suggested that Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, only allowed debate on the bill in order to support the 2020 re-election efforts of Gardner and (Sen) Steve Daines (R–MT).
