https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/10/epa-rollback-endangered-habitats-logging-mining The #EPA ought to be re-named, as long as #Trump is #POTUS, @DoomsdaysCW@kolektiva.social, as the #Environmental #Destruction #Agency, or EDA, as that is clearly what it's Hell-bent on doing.

EPA allows Bayer to choose the dicamba regulations that it prefers. Besides posing dangers to human health, dicamba tends to drift away from targeted fields. It affects crops and trees and its "drift" has caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to crops and forestry. Despite this crisis, EPA is allowing Bayer to regulate itself. #dicamba#epa#deregulation#agriculture

Update. "The #EPA Relied on an Influential #Glyphosate Study Even After Learning #Monsanto Was a 'Ghost Writer'." https://www.motherjones.com/environment/2026/06/epa-roundup-glyphosate-monsanto-ghostwritten-herbicide-cancer-bayer/ #GoldStandardScience #Medicine #Misconduct #USPol #USPolitics

Update. "Supreme Court ruling blocks thousands of lawsuits against the maker of #Roundup weedkiller." https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-roundup-monsanto-a7f054d80919f98bdfc5190013a8f6f1 The court ruled for #Monsanto because the #EPA said Roundup (#glyphosate) was harmless, not because the 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 said it was harmless. There's good evidence that that the EPA decision was flawed, if not cynical. It relied on studies written mostly by Monsanto staffers and the lead article has been retracted. Here's the #SCOTUS decision itself. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-1068_n7ip.pdf The upside: The #RepublicanSchism will deepen. Some #MAGA voters side with the Trump EPA friendliness to corporate polluters. Others (including #RFKJr when he could speak freely) side with #MAHA opposition to glyphosate. The downside: More people will die from this poison. #GoldStandardScience #Medicine #Misconduct #USLaw #USPol #USPolitics

Update.

Tell the EPA: Phase out glyphosate, protect America’s wildlife Glyphosate has never truly been proven safe. But it’s still America’s most commonly used pesticide, sprayed on millions of acres every year. The truth is that glyphosate harms America’s wildlife. It contributed to the massive decline in monarch butterfly populations, hurts bees and has been found dangerous to 93% of endangered species. #Wildlife #Glyphosate #EPA #Petition

EPA eliminates rule that limits planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2026/09/epa-eliminates-rule-that-limits-planet-warming-greenhouse-gas-emissions-from-power-plants/ #UnitedStates #USA #US #environment #GreenhouseGas #emissions #EPA

EPA repealed federal limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from coal and natural-gas power plants, arguing the rules exceeded the agency’s authority. Environmental and public-health groups are preparing legal challenges. #EPA

Die US-Umweltbehörde #EPA hebt Vorschriften zur Begrenzung von #Treibhausgas-Emissionen aus Kohle- und Gaskraftwerken auf. Damit nimmt die Trump-Regierung einen Großteil der 2024 eingeführten Standards zurück. Die EPA erwartet geringere Kosten für die Industrie und einen deutlichen Anstieg der #Kohleverstromung. #Umweltverbände kündigten juristischen Widerstand gegen die Entscheidung an. https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/usa-emissionsvorschriften-kraftwerke-100.html #USA #Kohle #Klimaschutz #Energiepolitik #climatechange #environment #energy

The Trump administration is rescinding climate controls on coal and gas-fired power plants, one of its most aggressive moves so far to unwind U.S. environmental regulations. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/09/15/energy/trump-epa-regulations-power-plants/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #energy #emissions #environment #epa #climatechange #us #donaldtrump #republicans #coal #gas #fossilfuels

NEW: The Environmental Protection Agency is finalizing a rule that’ll drastically weaken restrictions on “stripper wells,” which tend to be old, poorly maintained and prone to leaking methane, the highly potent greenhouse gas. https://www.propublica.org/article/methane-gas-epa-proposal-stripper-wells?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #Environment #Energy #Methane #Climate #ClimateChange #EPA

The EPA spent hundreds of millions on lead remediation in Omaha, home of the nation’s largest residential Superfund site. New soil tests by The Flatwater Free Press and ProPublica show that years later, many yards still have harmful levels of lead. https://www.propublica.org/article/lead-contamination-epa-superfund-omaha-nebraska-analysis?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #Omaha #Nebraska #Environment #Pollution #Children #Health #EPA

EPA says power for data centers can sidestep pollution laws | Reuters https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/epa-says-power-data-centers-can-sidestep-pollution-laws-2026-07-27/

The EPA said if the power plants are not supplying electricity to the grid then they would not be subject to the federal Clean Air ​Act's Acid Rain Program, which has been key to the ​dramatic reduction of smog and soot pollution from industrial ⁠facilities.

Guter Artikel im @untergrundblaettle@mastodon.world darüber, was die #EPA ("elektronische Patientenakte") und nur die Möglichkeit eines Opt-Outs eigentlich bedeuten in Hinblick auf Überwachung und Kontrolle. Zumindest bleibt noch die Möglichkeit eines Widerspruchs. Die ePA reiht sich ein in den zunehmenden Digitalisierungszwang EPA – mit dem Opt-Out-Verfahren zum gläsernen Patienten? „Ab dem 15. Januar 2025 bekommen alle Kassenpatienten automatisch eine elektronische Patientenakte (ePA). Hintergrund ist, dass sich bisher nur ca. 1 Prozent der Versicherten für die ePA entschieden haben…..“ https://www.xn--untergrund-blttle-2qb.ch/politik/epa-mit-dem-optoutverfahren-zum-glaesernen-patienten-008615.html #Digitalisierung #Patientenakte #überwachung #Datenschutz #Privacy
