No you haven't been eating that poison. It's use is limited to pre-bloom. (source is EPA website).

Are those migrant workers taking the EPA cautions about occupation exposure into account ?

The forecasts are certainly wrong, as admitted by the adherents to Castastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Adjustment (CA-CA, for short) themselves last week. Florida will be fine.

Let's just call it the EDA: the Environmental Destruction Agency. That would now be more accurate

No wonder Pruitt needs a sound-proof chamber to make his secret deals with the big corporations.

LOL..so then the question becomes how do you take climate change into account when building infrastructure when it changes so much ?

I can make the same arguments about everything you are posting, you need to provide specifics if you want to make any complaints about this.

As a side note I saw an interview with a manger at a foundry, he was discussing how they had to purify the water to point well beyond what it was when they obtained it.
no thanks. I'm not going to re-justify regulations that took decades to put into place with good cause.

My question to you is why INCREASE the levels of carcinogens in the environment, as many of these deregulations will do? A carcinogen has no safe level by the way, that is kind of a misleading construct.

So it must be my sister's imagination when her Miami Beach apartment building's lobby floods with brackish water after a major rainfall?

It's also her imagination all the construction on Alton Road to raise the street level because constant flooding renders the Beach impassable.

And those pump stations...yeah, that's not water they're sucking up.

Under consideration:

Ordered a review of federal regulations on hunting methods in Alaska
Obama-era rules prohibited certain hunting methods in Alaska’s national preserves. They overruled state law, which had allowed hunters to bait bears with food, shoot caribou from boats and kill bear cubs with their mothers present. This also includes a "hunting" method in which hunters are allowed to smoke out a mother wolf and her cubs from a den in order to slaughter them.

- Allowing a kind of exploratory blasting in the oceans, which involves blasts that will disorient and disturb whales and fish.

That is not hunting, just cruelty to animals.

To me, above all, this is the worst thing this poisonous administration is doing. A few more bucks in the hands of wealthy fossil fuel companies, at the cost of the health and well-being of Americans for many decades ahead. Don't these people care about their grand-children?

Read the list and weep:

Don't people understand, that Trump has to ravage the environmental protections, to keep his redneck cult appeased? They'd break their leashes and run amok, if they weren't periodically fed some red meat.
