    Wouldn’t that be the EPA’s job? I do wish they had more power or were more strict when it came to climate change measures. I did find this though: https://www.epa.gov/climate-change

      Ya, the funding cuts make it tough to do though. The EPA actually just decided to not reevaluate the smog standards showing the inability to do much at all.

      The SCOTUS ruled last year that the EPA does not have the authority to do essentially anything real to protect the environment.
