Biden Orders Immediate Confrontation of Climate Crisis
On Jan. 20, President Joe Biden signed an executive order entitled, “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.” It establishes the Biden administration’s commitment to immediately work to confront both the causes and impacts of climate change by implementing policy guided by science. The order rolls back many actions taken by the Trump administration to loosen environmental standards and protections and calls on all federal agency heads to review and “consider suspending, revising, or rescinding the agency actions” that may be inconsistent with Biden’s articulated policy. It also effectively recommits the U.S. to the 2015 Paris Climate Accords, a multilateral treaty designed to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change, which President Trump withdrew the U.S. from in 2017.

As a favor to the community I m posting President Biden s order to agencies to undertake a review of Trump era environmental regulations.
Yesterday was also an important day for Mother Nature and the nation. The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit unanimously tossed the Trump administration s replacement for Obama s Clean Power Plan (CPP) back to EPA. The Agency will now be coming out with some version of the CPP.
Look for my continuing comments on these and other Biden administration efforts to put the nation s economy on a low-carbon trajectory.
In the meantime, feel free to ask questions you might have. I ll do my best to answer them.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted the first-ever Clean Air Act (CAA) aircraft emission standards for greenhouse gases (GHGs), assuring the worldwide acceptance of U.S. manufactured airplanes and airplane engines. The final rule, “Control of Air Pollution from Airplanes and Airplane Engines: GHG Emission Standards and Test Procedures,” flows from the agency’s 2016 twin findings that: (1) GHG emissions from the engines of certain aircraft “cause or contribute to” elevated GHG concentrations in the atmosphere, and (2) these emissions endanger the public health and welfare via climate change. These findings form the basis for regulation of a pollutant under CAA section 231(a), the legal foundation for EPA’s authority for this aircraft emissions rule, promulgated December 28, 2020.

U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- As gun owners react to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ latest bit of mind-changing nonsense on stabilizing braces, it’s not out of line to recall some acts of capricious rulings from the past. They, too, made no sense other than to show gun owners the agency could impose whatever diktats it wanted and that we were being given no choice but to obey or be destroyed.
