Trump administration issues gag order on USDA and EPA! Orders EPA to remove Climate Change from web

[WaveMolecules]

If this continues beyond a temporary status, I would agree. Right now we have an EPA that clearly doesn't align with the new president's views. Once the new administration sets up the EPA in its vision, I expect full transparency at that point.

that's not how science works you fukking fool

Elect CEO's and Billionaires with no gov't experience to ruin run your countries brehs

Make America great again brehs

fukking idiots


Hire a butcher to unclog your toilet #trumpmorons

Jesus

But I thought he was giving the government back to the people

Censorship is cool now

A gallon of gasoline doesn't even weigh 20lbs. How could it release 20lbs of anything? Honest question.

No idea.
Anyone?

think beyond that gallon of gasoline. It didn't get there by itself. It didn't refine itself. It didn't extract itself from the ground. That's before we even get to the chemistry involved.

Oh, so we gonna act like that's not deceitful?

Dude said "burning" one gallon of gasoline.

I'm not a chemistry major, so I'm not sure of the chemistry, but I do know that gallon you use is being replaced everytime you burn one. That's probably not what he was getting it, but its still true. The manufacturing and transportation industries have come a long way in becoming cleaner and cleaner, but as we saw in Texas when Bush was president and Perry was governor, they will flip that safety shyt off in a second and your cities soar to the top of the most polluted air lists in a jiffy. There's a reason there's an EPA and its not trivial. I'm guessing NTHSA is next. we don't need mandated car safety brehs. Stop that progress. Die in the name of money that will mostly go to the shareholders and execs.

Gasoline is a chemical just like Carbon dioxide and both contain different molecules with different molecular weights. Based on a quick google search, gasoline is primarily made of hydrocarbons so it doesn't weigh much (6.3 lbs if we're talking about a gallon. 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen). When heated, all this chemical energy gets released: bonds (the hydrocarbons) break into carbon and hydrogen. Hydrogen recombines with o2 to form water. You get heat, water, and CO2. A carbon atom has a weight of 12 and oxygen is 16. So CO2 = 12 + (2)16 = 44. So if you want to know the amount of Co2 produced from a gallon of gasoline: 44 (total mw of CO2) / 12 (mw of Carbon) = 3.7. 6.3 X .87 = 5.5 then 5.5 x 3.7 = 20.

I think...

In general, any estimate on how much CO2 you release is kinda iffy cause the reaction itself isn't black and white. Sometimes hydrocarbons don't break if enough energy isn't put into the system or other gases are released.

The EIA calculates it like this: 2.4 g of Carbon in 1 gallon of gasoline which enough to make 8.8 g of CO2 x 0.99 (which accounts for carbon that doesn't react) and they get 19.5 pounds. So idk. It's close.

This is so sad. Idk why people are so threatened by science. I'm legit considering doing my grad work outside of the US. Perhaps Canada.

I can't wait to see how trumpset spins this one

I heard one guy say

"Why would you let any of your employees say anything to the public without running it by you first?"

probably be your best bet.

Pssshhh math and chemistry are just tools of the Jewish controlled liberal media.

This shyt has me legit worried for the future, especially my sons.

I wanted to eventually move near the water, I'm keeping my ass inland now

You'd think adults that grew up in a time with sewage filled ponds and factories that consistently dumped pollutants in areas that harmed communities would understand the importance of the EPA.

It's a liberal conspiracy, it's not like birth defects from dumping pollutants in the water ever hurt anyone.

Or that they'll need universal healthcare to deal with those imaginary defects
