Monarch butterflies to be added to threatened species list in the US

I better finally get to planting some milkweed on my property. I knew Monarch butterflies were in trouble and it being linked to the lack of milkweed plants. I remember that milkweed was much more common on the roadsides in my youth. I don’t see very much of it today. I hope that I can do my small part, but it may be too little, too late.
 
Thoughts and prayers to MAGA on this added big government regulation by the Joe Biden Crime Family.

Perhaps you can work with Donald and Elon to have them removed from the endangered species list because #AmericaFirst.

I'm sure the butterflies will be fine when MAGA kills the EPA.

Monarch butterflies are rather anti-MAGA. They flood across borders without any documentation, consuming resources that local butterflies depend on, and breed without limits. MAGA is going to abolish the EPA and shift those resources to CBP, who will be tasked to build an atmospheric wall and make the butterflies pay for it.

It has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with the use of herbicides to kill milkweed.

Yes, but that is not the money-making agenda.
 
Endangered species are screwed under Trump 2.0 with the plans to cut all sorts of government regulations.

Money is being distributed world wide of several trillions. Somebody is making good off the agenda.

Can you prove your contention?

---no---

The regulations he cut last time were the types that were excessive from the recent past administrations. He did not eliminate anything that was long standing.

Extinction vs. money.


Gosh...money wins out under Trump.


And you agree with it.


So, as I said...endangered species are screwed under Trump 2.0.

Just like they were under 1.0

Tell you what. Fund it yourself. Stay out of other people's pockets.

You didn't answer my question. How recent was that regulation he dismissed? It was probably another one of those stupid and excessive ones placed under Obama.

He didn't remove the Endangered Species Act. He cannot do that, it takes an act of congress. Why is it you lefties think the government can keep spending excessive money? We have such deep deficits each year, it seems not to matter so why do we even pay taxes when the feds just keep printing money.

Where does this insanity end?

Critical habitat?

You know...that's existed since the inception of the ESA.

LOL.

My God.

You don't even know what you are referring he.

He did not stop the critical habitat regulation. He modified it. It was probably modified by Obama. Maybe you can explain to the class what how he changed it. If you cannot, I am done with you, as you are just regurgitating propaganda. I do not need to waste my time.

TRUMP ADDED EXCLUSIONS and allowed critical habitat to be destroyed if it was deemed that it would be too costly, an economic disadvantage, etc.

It had nothing to do with Obama. He put capitalism ahead of conservation. As always. He did it with human lives during Covid, so why would you expect different when it comes to other species?

Trump thinks that the US is a company where the most important thing is profit. He forgets this is a COUNTRY.

Good. You looked it up. It was a new regulation enacted by the EPA, without the power of congress. The sitting president has every right to be "The Executor of Law."

Section 4(b)(2) of the ESA gives the Secretary the authority to exclude any particular area from a critical habitat designation if the benefits of exclusion outweigh the benefits of inclusion for that area, so long as excluding the habitat will not result in the species’ extinction.

Same thing as above. Do you even bother to read? That was what he did throughout Trump 1.0 - sell out endangered species for $$$.

The worst president in modern history for the environment and endangered species.

And here comes Round 2.0

But you think it's OK for windmills to kill endangered raptors.
