The rules give federal officials more leeway to protect species in a changing climate. Industry groups are expected to sue.

    This why no progress is ever made.

    Republicans strip regulations, and we’re supposed to be grateful when neoliberals take almost an entire term just to reinstate them.

    The regulations weren’t even enough to begin with, and the situation is even worse now.

    It’s better than nothing, but nowhere close to enough.

      Prior Republican administrations weren’t anywhere near this bad when it came to tearing down the administrative state.

        Which means Biden should have done more than just undo some of the shit trump tore down…

        Like, that’s the whole point, republicans break more shit, and Dems have been fixing less.

        The result is things keep getting worse.

          I think it’s more that the republicans have been breaking a lot more shit and breaking it more thoroughly than ever before so it takes more work and effort to fix things. It’s always easier to break something than to fix it.

          A lot is getting better; we’re seeing a continued coal phase-out for example.

          It’s not everything we need yet, but a long ways from getting worse right now.
