Taking the "Protection" out of the Environmental Protection Agency.

But our parks are ablaze from climate change.

Former New York congressman Lee Zeldin in charge of the EPA.

The smoke hanging over Brooklyn for the past few days from New Jersey wild fires has for the time being been blown away by the 35 mile an hour wind gusts.

The wind gust themselves are no favor to the hundreds of firefighters trying to contain the New Jersey fires.

Of course, my trolls ridiculed the idea that climate change has anything to do with the drought that has hit the New York trip-state region for the past five weeks.

Last week Brooklyn’s historic and beautiful Prospect Park saw a couple of acres go up in flames.

Grilling in the park is now banned.

Brooklyn's Prospect Park on fire.

So, of course today re-Trump has chosen former Long Island congressman Lee Zeldin to flip the charge to the Environmental Protection Agency and turn it into the Environmental Destruction Agency.

There is no environmental regulation that this tool believes in.

The EPA under Zeldin will now play a direct role in Trump’s pledges to speed the construction of gas-fired power plants and curb the pitifully insufficient Joe Biden-era regulations that did little to reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

Zeldin is a former Republican Congressman from the eastern end of New York’s Long Island from 2015 through 2023, after spending four years in the New York State Senate. He ran for governor of New York in 2022 but lost by six points to incumbent Democrat Kathy Hochul.

The League of Conservation Voters has given Zeldin a lifetime score of only 14% for routinely voting against environmental legislation while in Congress.

In his final year in office, in 2022, his score was only 5%.

When in congress he led in Trump’s impeachment defense.

The EPA was created by Richard Nixon.

We may never grill in Prospect Park again.
