How Trump’s Federal Funding and Hiring Freezes Are Leaving America Vulnerable to Catastrophic Wildfire
—

Uncertainty over funding and hiring stemming from the president’s executive orders has limited wildfire training and postponed work to reduce flammable vegetation. It has also led some firefighters to leave the force, their colleagues said.

Here's how wildfire smoke exposure can impact your health

Exposure to wildfire smoke — especially if it's heavy and over a long period of time — can cause adverse health effects in anybody, regardless of health status or age. 👉 But even mild wildfire exposure can significantly impact at-risk groups, such as people with chronic health conditions, seniors, young children and pregnant women.

Trump’s anti-green agenda could lead to 1.3 million more temperature-related deaths.

Most of the people expected to suffer live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

Before the automobile industry invented the catalytic converter, the costs of reducing air pollution seemed astronomical, enough to bankrupt the entire industry. After they invented the catalytical converter, the costs were manageable. And they only invented it because they were faced with the threat of being shut down.

Industries creating harms often claim that controls and regulations are impossible, would bankrupt them, etc., trying to make their existence into a zero-sum game (for some people to have the benefit of our industry, other people must suffer). AI companies claim they must steal copyrighted works because they could not exist otherwise; or be allowed to use as much electricity as they demand in spite of the costs. But it's B.S., and we should stop accepting this rhetoric. Forced to innovate to reduce harms, these industries have innovated, and made themselves even more profitable than they were when they were dragging their feet about it like children who don't want to clean their rooms.

It’s unclear whether the guidance will impact active grants, but it appears to halt opportunities for future studies. One climate health expert said the directive would have a “devastating” impact on much-needed research.
