THIS AFFECTS YOU - Lower Gas Mileage; LISTEN UP "RED" States!

Every day, something is done to hurt people. This time it will REALLY be done to the people that voted for Trump who live in rural areas, have little money and have to travel long distances. The Trump Administration decided that cars don't need to achieve better mileage, so YOU can pay more to put gas in your car and pollute more than you have in the last 8 years.  

   SIDE NOTE:  If you live in states like Montana, Wyoming or places where there are long expanses of highway, YOU voted for this.   Open up your wallets...
   Under order from the Trump Administration, "The Environmental Protection Agency said Monday, April 2, it plans to undo a landmark Obama-era rule tightening fuel standards for vehicles, weakening the only major federal policy to reduce planet-warming emissions from the nation’s top source of greenhouse gas pollution."  

Record melt from Greenland icesheet in 2010

IN THE NEWS TODAY- 

Paris (AFP) Jan 21, 2011 Greenland's icesheet, feared as a major driver of rising sea levels, shed a record amount of melted snow and ice in 2010, scientists reported Friday, a day after the UN said last year was the warmest on record. The 2010 runoff was more than twice the average annual loss in Greenland over the previous three decades, surpassing a record set in 2007, said the study, published in the US-based journal Environmental Research Letters.
Ice melt has now topped this benchmark every year since 1996, according to the paper, derived from long-term satellite and observational data.
Were it to melt entirely, Greenland's icesheet would drive up ocean levels by some seven meters (23 feet), drowning coastal cities around the world.

Based on computer models, lead researcher Marco Tedesco, who heads the Cryosphere Processes Laboratory at the City College of NY, estimated that runoff in 2010 was 530 gigatons, or billions of tons, compared to an average of 274 gigatons for the period 1958-2009, and 285 gigatons for 1979-2009. "The process is far from being linear, and it is not possible to simply draw a line" into the future, said Tedesco.But over the last 30 years "there has been an increase in runoff," he said.
