tl;dr - take a few minutes to comment on the recent EPA ruling that said greenhouse gases (CO2) don't hurt...us. Especially @ my scientist friends. Here are the opening lines of the proposal to get your creative juices flowing: "In this action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to repeal all greenhouse gas (GHG) emission standards for light-duty, medium-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles and engines to effectuate the best reading of Clean Air Act (CAA) section 202(a). We propose that CAA section 202(a) does not authorize the EPA to prescribe emission standards to address global climate change concerns and, on that basis, propose to rescind the Administrator’s prior findings in 2009 that GHG emissions from new motor vehicles and engines contribute to air pollution which may endanger public health or welfare. We further propose, in the alternative, to rescind the Administrator’s prior findings in 2009 because the EPA unreasonably analyzed the scientific record and because developments cast significant doubt on the reliability of the findings."
Here's something important: please read on. EPA is accepting public comments on the new "nothing to see here" reversal of the GHG endangerment finding. Comment period is short: it ends Sept 15. It's very important that as many of us as possible post comments, even short ones, pointing out the scientific, legal, historical or other flaws in their argument. You can post at: https://lnkd.in/e6zE3zAY I am told that it is best to submit the comment as a pdf attachment. You can also post pdfs of pertinent relevant work; just be sure to make clear in the comment that you are doing so, and why.

For my fellow energy nerds, the GHG endangerment finding comment period is *open now* and *ends Sept 15* Advice was to even submit a quick note about the economic benefits of clean energy or specific impacts of climate change. Corrected link: https://lnkd.in/ePAYUtEr

Throughout my career I've seen errors from the simple act of one party seeing one set of data and another operating on a different set. As digital systems increase this easy but entirely preventable error is likely to grow
You’re responsible for regulatory outcomes. But can you confidently answer this: "Does our internal data match what regulators see in their systems?" For most environmental compliance leaders, the answer is “I’m not sure.” That gap creates risk, especially as regulatory systems like e-Manifest and #RCRAInfo expand digital oversight. Here’s how enterprise sponsors are closing it: https://lnkd.in/g586cigR #EnvironmentalCompliance #EHSLeadership #RiskGovernance #AskYourTeam #ComplianceLeadership #EnterpriseRisk #ComplianceCulture #ESGStrategy

California’s climate disclosure laws aren’t hitting pause, and neither should you. Yesterday, a federal court denied an attempt to delay SB 253 and SB 261, meaning the clock is still ticking toward 2026 compliance. This is your cue to turn mandatory reporting into a strategic advantage. 👨⚖️ What happened? A federal judge rejected a request to halt the enforcement of California’s new climate disclosure rules (SB 253 and SB 261). 🤷♀️ Why? The plaintiffs, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and allied business groups, failed to demonstrate a high likelihood of prevailing on their first Amendment argument. They also failed to show that enforcing the law right away would cause irreparable harm. 🗓️ What’s next? Businesses should plan to comply, and the legal battle, including constitutional challenges, is moving toward trial in late 2026. 🤔 What does it all mean? 1️⃣ Compliance timelines are unchanged 🟩 Implication: Clients over the $500M/$1B revenue thresholds need to keep progressing toward data collection, verification, and reporting readiness now. 2️⃣ Broader market signal 🟩 Implication: Even companies not currently covered by CA law could soon face similar mandates. Preparing early avoids scramble and reputational risk. 3️⃣ Investor & supply chain pressure will intensify 🟩 Implication: Noncompliance or incomplete data could mean lost bids, supplier de-listings, or investor scrutiny. 4️⃣ Heightened focus on Scope 3 accuracy 🟩 Implication: Clients must tighten Scope 3 methodologies and be prepared to defend their calculations. With timelines locked in, now’s the time to move. Greenplaces gives you the tools, data, and expertise to not just meet SB 253 and SB 261 requirements, but to do so with confidence and clarity. #ClimateDisclosure #SB253 #SB261 #ESGReporting #CarbonAccounting #ClimateAction #RegulatoryCompliance #GHGReporting

Read Ryder's post and tell the EPA about the plethora of data, research, and how fundamental physics explains how greenhouse gasses raise our global temperature. Increasing global temperature is known to cause more frequent and severe extreme weather events. These weather events will impact our most vulnerable populations who can lose their lives.

The EPA is moving to roll back federal greenhouse gas regulations. The agency has proposed rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which is important in maintaining federal limits on CO₂, methane, and other major emissions under the Clean Air Act. This would shift much of the regulatory responsibility to the states and significantly reshape U.S. climate policy. If you’d like to submit data/research to the EPA related to why greenhouse gases are harmful to human health, I have included a link at the bottom of this post. The EPA is legally required to review and address substantive comments before finalizing any rule changes. This is one of the most direct opportunities to influence federal climate policy. Given that courts have overturned rule changes when public comments weren’t adequately addressed, I’m trying to make as much noise as possible!
