“the most anti-environmental Congress in history.”

The Republicans vs. the Environment

   There was a time, not even too long ago, when there at least existed bipartisan efforts to maintain regulations on the Clean Air and Water Acts, in effect since 1970. However, recent years have seen, along with the complete annihilation of congressional productivity, an absense of any bipartisanship in efforts to save the environment.

   In a haze of "antiregulatory fervor, allegiance to industry and a refusal to accept the fact of climate change," Republicans in congress have done more in the past few years do unto what little progress has been made toward creating a more sustainable earth. Even disregarding the looming, figurative, American, economic apocalypse, it is simply appalling that such abhorrent goals permeate such a major sector of our legislative branch.
