We searched Trump’s prepared #SOTU text and there is not a single mention of…
Environment
Climate change
Global warming
Global waming* (had to check)
Wildfires
Floods
Sea level rise
Superstorms
Pollution
Ignoring a problem won’t make it go away. Time to #ActOnClimate.
BREAKING: We won! After lawsuit, court orders @EPAScottPruitt to enforce methane leak standards.
In 1970, the environment was so polluted, few questioned the virtue of founding the EPA. Too bad memory is short.

In a historic decision, the Supreme Court has declined to hear the Exxon's appeal in a climate change lawsuit! This means the company will now have to turn over internal documents about its knowledge of climate change — a win for climate justice. 🙌
The Biden Administration seems ready to approve a massive new drilling project in Alaska that would pollute as much as 76 coal power plants do each year and devastate wildlife.

BREAKING: A new report shows the Trump admin. lied to the American people and dismissed the benefits of national monuments in order to justify gutting our protected public lands:
In 1970, the environment was so polluted, few questioned the virtue of founding the EPA. Too bad memory is short.
Government emails show the real reason behind Trump’s decision to eliminate #BearsEars National Monument: oil drilling and coal mining.
BREAKING: a court just saved millions of acres of untouched national forestland in Alaska.
If the Clean Power Plan is repealed, we’ll take the EPA to court.

BREAKING: President Trump announced his decision to withdraw the U.S. from the #ParisAgreement. This is a foolish & reckless mistake.
Listen to : If corporations are allowed to continue deforesting the boreal, soon it won’t sound anything like this, and there will not be a way to reverse the damage to our climate. We must find a way to keep that from happening: on.nrdc.org/3IOMieh
Ryan Zinke took control of the Department one year ago this week. It’s amazing how much damage he has tried to inflict on our public lands—repealing climate protections, inviting polluters into pristine wilderness, and reopening loopholes to benefit the coal industry.
Monarch butterfly populations are dangerously low, due in large part to the use of toxic herbicides like glyphosate. Only strong EPA action can keep the monarch butterfly from collapse. Urge the EPA to save the monarch:
It’s estimated that fewer than 200 FL panthers remain in the US. And now, with oil and gas development encroaching on their habitat and the US Fish and Wildlife Service threatening to strip its ESA protections, the FL panther could soon be extinct. #WorldWildlifeDay
Zinke lacked the ethics, integrity, and dedication to 's core mission to act as a steward for America’s public lands, wildlife, and natural resources.
He propped up the fossil fuel industry, attacked science, and weakened public land protections.
The use of toxic, bee-killing neonic pesticides is skyrocketing, but thankfully retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walmart are working to phase out neonic lawn and garden products, including plants treated with neonics. Now it’s Amazon’s turn: on.nrdc.org/2sjGTbF
🎉 US to rejoin the Paris Agreement
🎉 Cancellation of the XL Pipeline
🎉 Strong Commitment to climate action
Scientific evidence links the dramatic spike in bee deaths to the rise of neonic pesticides. So we're telling the EPA to save our bees and other pollinators by imposing a ban on neonic pesticides. Take action: on.nrdc.org/2PbaZ7H
The Endangered Species Act is popular and effective. Tell Congress to leave it alone: on.nrdc.org/2v4XPi0 #StopExtinction
If Trump thinks he can kill our climate progress without a fight, he's wrong. We'll fight this every step of the way.

Today, Donald Trump is signing an executive order that begins to dismantle Obama's climate policies: bit.ly/2o1N5BP

Climate victory! California’s governor has just signed a bill into law that sets an ambitious target for the state to get 100 percent of its power from clean sources by 2045. Learn more: on.nrdc.org/2oX7c2V #SB100
California has met its greenhouse gas reduction goal for 2020 already! The state's emissions fell below 1990 levels, putting the state well on its way toward reaching long-term goals to fight climate change.
This $100M was part of funding approved by Congress and signed into law by President Obama in December 2016.
This is like @EPAScottPruitt taking credit for mailing a check that someone else wrote.

Trump could withdraw the United States from the #ParisAgreement at any moment. ACT NOW: on.nrdc.org/2qBxM0B
Ending what will go down as the worst era in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s history so far, Scott Pruitt resigned today, ending a tumultuous few months of ethics scandals and a year of egregious anti-environment rollbacks.

A week before Harvey hit, Trump revoked the Federal Flood Protection Standard, erasing protections for millions.
Ryan Zinke is attacking our public lands, oceans, and wildlife, all to help line the pockets of his industry pals. We’ll keep fighting, both in and out of court, to stop his pro-polluter agenda. Join our fight:
Trump just called America's #ArcticRefuge, "one of the great oil sites." He couldn't be more wrong.

Trump issued an order today which would remove protections from the Northeast Canyon and Seamounts — the only marine monument in the U.S. Atlantic Ocean. This illegal move would jeopardize hundreds of species.
