In Friday's “BTW” section CBS morning addCBS environmental correspondent David Schechter awarded the Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by restarting a line that has been deployed for at least fifty years, Lee Zeldin served as administrator Lee Zeldin, which is “less than a decade” to save the planet from climate change. [emphasis, links added]
Co-host Adriana Diaz When the “government…mak[es] The president's campaign promises well and will retreat from climate protection. ”
For free media, any and all regulations are almost always seen as a benefit to our interests, not a hassle.
“[O]The EPA now calls things that are “rethinking” heavy greenhouse gas reporting plans, where thousands of companies have to submit their emission levels, the release said. Selding said the agency will try to remove a total of 31 environmental regulations from rules controlling wastewater to emission standards. The Trump administration also… reveals plans to shut down the EPA's environmental justice sector. ” she added.
Schechter swings through apocalypse analysis Zeldin changed the “how we interact with the environment” because the EPA believes it has nothing to do with “environment” or to ensure “we have clean air and…clean water.”
He continued to say that Selding didn't want to:
“Talking about the environment and why we need to stay clean and why climate change is such an existential threat because of the increased floods, fires and droughts, and how the EPA works in trying to ensure we control and include it.”
After a moment he gave up his annoying claims about people who have been less than ten years or less, or we are abandoners:
“I think the biggest risk is Indeed, we have a small window to deal with climate change. It's getting smaller and smaller, less than 10 yearsTo upgrade and reduce our emissions, we already have many rules to solve this problem.
“Throwing up these things will remove a lot of progress to try to meet new standards in our country and the world. We will lose the opportunity to really solve this problem, and we can't even solve it.”
Co-host Tony Dokoupil next summarizes Zeldin's view on EPA “If companies don’t have to report a bunch of time-wasting things to save money, they can take that money and keep the energy process clean.”
Schechter obviously doesn't have it because you can't trust the behavior of non-governmental parties (click “expand”):
Schechter: I don't know, I wonder if this is your reading of the claim, I think it's an interesting way. You know, companies, companies, many people do, do the right thing and spend a lot of time on their environmental issues, reports and things like that, but, you know, the job of the government is to set a level playing field, and if that's how you think about the work of the government, set a level playing field with regulations so that everyone follows the same rules. Some companies will have trouble before they lead their competitors, and the rules may be stricter than their competitors. Then the market caught up with them, and they received a lot of criticism for their leading position. So you know, there are lights and roads, and, road rules are what keeps everyone going in the same direction. That's what EPA thinks. That is the power of EPA. To say we care about the earth, we care about clean water, that's what we're going to do, it's one thing, but to look at what they do and want to cut 31 important regulations, it's really what you should look at.
Dokoupil: It's very interesting. Yes, but that's the claim of the EPA press release. It is better to use hundreds of millions of dollars of savings, “improve and upgrade environmental controls to have a significant impact and improvement on the environment.” We will see what will happen.
Diaz: Yes.
Schechter: Yes.
Diaz: If a company goes to great lengths to try to improve this environment without regulations.
The segment on Friday restricted three days of anger on CBS.
Back on Thursday, senior White House and campaign journalist Ed O'Keefe appeared in two CBS Morning and add Say tEPA will now “roll back… regulations” saying “Greenhouse gases are harmful to public health[.]transparent
And, on Tuesday, CBS Evening News Co-chair Maurice Dubois said the agency was The traditional Chinese tape festival is cancelled “to protect public health and fight climate change.”
Half an hour later, co-host John Dickerson agreed with former Obama EPA official Matthew Tejada CBS add to the night.
Tejada said Zeldin's announcement was:
“Take us back to the 1960s, protecting people from our country from cancer before we had regulations to actually clean up water, actually cleaning up heritage-contaminated sites that people have lived on over generations.”
Tejada vents further The Trump administration will[e] We went back to when we had no regulation,” in which case Americans would not be more “healthy” because they deliberately “allowed the pollution industry”[e] Absolutely unrestrained ability to pour its contamination into our communities[.]transparent
Dixon has always been a fluffy guerrilla team, inviting Tehada to go further…
