MAGA wants the nation to stick its head into the sand about #ClimateChange.

"Greenhouse gases do not respect international borders.
The “no-harm” rule of international law is codified in Principle 21 of the Stockholm Declaration and Principle 2 of the Rio Declaration. It requires nations to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause significant environmental harm to other nations and, secondly, to take all appropriate measures to prevent such damage from occurring."

"The administration says their new rule will save the US $1.3tn.
But that claim, experts say, ignores the far greater costs Americans will incur due to extreme weather and other impacts of climate change.
One estimate from environmental nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund found the repeal of the endangerment finding could impose up to $4.7tn in additional expenses tied to climate-warming and toxic pollution over the next two decades."

"But a chart within the analysis indicates that the US will through 2055 incur $1.4tn in additional costs from increased fuel purchases, vehicle repair and maintenance, insurance, traffic congestion and noise. [Plus] reduced energy security.
In total, this means the repeal of the endangerment finding will impose an estimated costs of $1.5tn, overshadowing the projected $1.3tn in savings. And that’s before you take into account the huge social and climate costs."

"The official policy of the US government [is] that greenhouse gases don’t endanger Americans’ well-being and therefore don’t need federal regulation.
Insurance companies, meanwhile, live in a parallel universe where greenhouse gases are heating the atmosphere and intensifying natural disasters, harming human health, destroying property and raising insurance costs.
The US government’s universe is an increasingly lonely fantasy world. You’re trapped in the real one."
