Sixty-one years ago, a group of courageous men and women crossed a bridge in Selma, Alabama to make the promise of our nation real.
Today, we remember that day as βBloody Sunday.β Few can speak more eloquently about the events of that day than President Obama did 11 years ago.
The sheer hubris of daylight saving time.
"Hey, Sun. Big fan of your work, but have you considered that maybe you've been doing it wrong for billions of years?"
"A gallon of gasoline weighs about six pounds. When you burn it, the carbon atoms mix with oxygen atoms in the air to form about 19 pounds of carbon dioxide. The average American car driven the average American distance releases about its own weight in CO2 each year."

This weekend marks the anniversary of a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement: Bloody Sunday. On March 7, 1965, peaceful marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma while demanding the right to vote. We honor their courage and continue the fight for justice and equality. βπΎ

"Thatβs $81 billion β every year β and it doesnβt appear on your gas station receipt. Itβs a subsidy, paid by taxpayers, that makes oil look far cheaper than it actually is. Spread across U.S. oil consumption, it works out to roughly $11 per barrel, or about 28 cents per gallon."
Greenhouse Gas Inventory Data Explorer Navigation Data Explorer Home Data Notice The Data Explorer will be updated with the latest annual national-level GHG data through 2023 in April when the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks: 1990-2023 is published following public review. State-level GHG data in the Data Explorer currently goes through 2022, but will be updated with annual data through 2023 later this year.
I love how this still pops up when you visit EPA's webpage for the US GHG Inventory.

"Decarbonisation is often framed as a climate necessity. It will also lead to a redistribution of geopolitical power, probably towards greater stability."
One thing that we haven't mentioned is that a major justification for them rolling back fuel economy standards and repealing the Endangerment Finding is that the US is energy independent and buffered from global energy markets.
