🚨ACTION OF THE DAY🚨 @standupforscience.bsky.social Day 6! Leave a public comment opposing the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding. ✍️ Comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/EP... 🧠 Learn more here: www.cnn.com/2025/08/03/p... 🌿 Here is a script (copy and paste alt text for ease!) #31days

Use and adapt our drafted comment below or write your own!

I strongly oppose the proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding. The science is clear: greenhouse gases unequivocally harm our health and our environment. Weakening or repealing the Endangerment Finding will make it harder, and costlier to protect our communities from pollution and from the effects of climate change.

Optional: I care about this issue because [insert your personal reasoning here -e.g. "my father has COPD," "I recently lost my home to a devastating hurricane"]

I urge you to keep the Endangerment Finding in place and to apply science to protect our health and our environment for generations to come.

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

A horizontal bar chart titled "Percentage of Global fossil fuel emissions (since 1751) occurring in my lifetime." The chart shows how much of the total historical global fossil fuel emissions have occurred within the lifetime of individuals of different ages, from 5 to 100 years old. The vertical axis on the left lists ages in increments of 5 years, from age 5 at the top to age 100 at the bottom. The horizontal axis represents the percentage of fossil fuel emissions, marked in 10% increments from 10% to 90%.

The black bars represent the proportion of fossil fuel emissions that have occurred during each age group's lifetime. The bars increase in length as the age increases, meaning older individuals have lived through a larger percentage of the cumulative emissions since 1751.

Three specific age groups are highlighted with red bars and white text annotations:

Age 30: "if you are 30 it is more than 50%"

Age 50: "if you are 50 it is about 75%"

Age 85: "if you are 85 it is about 90%"

The source of the data is cited at the bottom: "CDIAC and globalcarbonproject.org." The graphic is credited to "@neilrkaye."

A new evidence review asks what speed limits should be if we started with the goal of reducing death and injury. Safe to say that despite being rooted in evidence, there'll be a lot of motivated reasoning trying to make these conclusions go away downloads.roadsafetyfoundation.org/Determining_...

Based on the latest publicly available research, the evidence-based maximum operating
speeds on British roads if most deaths and life-changing injuries are to be avoided are as
follows:
• 10mph where there is a particular prevalence of pedestrians and/or bicyclists and/or
motorcyclists, or where there is a heightened vulnerability of pedestrians to impact
and injury (e.g. around schools, around hospitals, and in the vicinity of major sports or
social/cultural events)
• 20mph in other locations where pedestrians and/or bicyclists and/or motorcyclists mix
with cars
• 20mph where cars and HGVs mix and where:
o head-on collisions are possible (i.e. single carriageways) or
o side impacts are possible (e.g. at T-junctions and crossroads)
• 30mph where head-on collisions and side impacts are possible only between cars
Higher operating speeds may be consistent with a Safe System on roads which have fully
segregated facilities for any pedestrians or bicyclists and a physical median between opposing
directions of flow (including, for example, no T-junctions or crossroads). On these roads (i.e.
some dual carriageways including motorways), the priority is to provide adequate roadside
infrastructure measures to ensure that road users are suitably protected if they run-off the
road at current operating speeds.
