A lot of people will be very negatively impacted by this Republican extremism, yet there are still people who claim they don’t see a difference in this election between Biden as president (with the power to put in place environmental protections and the power to nominate justices) and Trump. It’s laughable.

Take a good look at this picture because this is the world you’re creating if Trump wins.

@TonyStark so back to acid rain eating holes in my car's paint again like in the 1970s. Maybe we will even have rivers catching on fire again- the ones a lot of cities get their drinking water from.

I grew up in Pittsburgh in the 60’s and I remember the black soot that would accumulate on the window sills (inside) every week, from the steel mills. I’m sure it had an affect on my lungs & lung capacity, which have never been great.

@PandaChronicle @MatthewChat In the early 70s, there was a permanent haze along the river.

@TonyStark @PandaChronicle I remember back in the 1960s there was a semi-permanent dome of smoggy yellow haze over New York City. It was mainly due to incinerators in buildings burning their garbage.
