*[Enwl-eng] Congress is trying to stop California from fighting smog, pollution, and climate change

[ecology]

                        Car emissions create horrible public health issues, 
and worsen climate change.









                        Congress Wants to Block California From Regulating 
Car Emissions. Don't Let Them!

                        There are numerous reasons why it is important to 
regulate smog and emissions from vehicles like cars, buses, and trucks. Such 
regulations help us to fight climate change by reducing our carbon 
footprint, as well as reduce air pollution and, by extension, improve the 
well-being of humans, animals, and the surrounding environment. It even 
saves people money by reducing the need for more fossil fuels!

                        That's why it's been so crucial to have California 
leading the way by setting the strictest emissions standards in the U.S. But 
of course, Trump and his cronies hate that. So the Republican-controlled 
U.S. Senate just voted to block California's ability to set stronger rules.

                        The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
given California waivers to set it own, stricter, standards for almost 60 
years. This decision is up to the EPA alone — not Congress. But Republicans 
are so incensed by the idea of protecting the environment and public health, 
they're trying revoke California's ability to use these waivers.

                        With climate change worsening year after year, we 
don't have any time to lose when it comes to reducing our carbon emissions. 
Vehicles are one of the top contributors to climate change around the globe, 
including in the U.S. — one of the most carbon-emitting countries in the 
world. Additionally, loosening emissions laws would mean millions of 
children and families face the horrible effects of worse air quality. Even 
worse, air pollution disproportionately impacts communities of color, 
saddling them with a public health crisis.



                        Luckily, California Governor Gavin Newsom has 
declared: "We won't stand by as Trump Republicans make America smoggy 
again... We're going to fight this unconstitutional attack on California in 
court."

                        California must continue to be a leader when it 
comes to environmental justice and emissions regulations. Sign the petition 
to demand that California stand strong and fight this illegal Congressional 
action!
