Wildlife Protections gutted

Despite a global shutdown due to the pandemic, Mauna Loa observatory recorded the highest atmospheric CO2 levels in May since record keeping began.

Once in the atmosphere, CO2 is persistent.  May is usually the highest reading of the year because plants and trees growing in the Northern Hemisphere start to absorb and store CO2.

However, with regulations being gutted in favor of economics, our forest loss by volume is steadily increasing.

Over 25,000 nesting shorebirds are losing habitat on the Atlantic coast to an infrastructure project.

The Department of the Interior in conjunction with DIFW has gutted the migratory bird act, eliminating any repercussions to industry that causes migratory bird loss-such as birds landing in open pits of chemicals.

The icing on the cake was seeing a live stream yesterday of Trump allowing commercial fishing in one of only three protected marine environments-

"Is that what you want?" he addressed a fisherman representative.

DId he ask the protesters what they want?  One wealthy white male meets with him and asks him to remove protections from an area , and it's done.

Millions of people asking for justice, and they are ignored.

He has the gall to sit in our great state and call our governor a dictator and claim "SHE doesn't know what she is doing"

Maybe it's time to look in the mirror.
