American former President Obama posted today (February 13): "Today, the Trump administration repealed the 'hazard finding': this ruling had been the basis for limiting car exhaust emissions and setting regulations for power plants. Without it, we will be less safe, less healthy, and more difficult to address climate change - all just to make more profits for the fossil fuel industry."
Comment: The most ironic part of this incident is that sacrificing people's health and the environment in the future is wrapped up as "for the good of America." Obama revealed not only a policy regression, but also the long-standing hypocrisy in American politics - environmental protection has never been a scientific or livelihood issue, but a tool for party games and interest exchanges. Repealing the hazard finding means directly removing the bottom line of environmental regulation, and in the future, polluting companies will act more recklessly, and ordinary people will pay for air pollution and climate disasters, while the real beneficiaries are the energy capital and political operators behind them.
