Summer's around the corner.
Heat waves are going to be freaking us out.
It's as good a time as any to check in on climate change here at Today Explained from Vox.
So let's start with the EPA.
The Environmental Protection Agency was signed into existence by a Republican, Richard Nixon.
Can you believe?
This was way back in 1970 when it was okay for the right to care about the planet.
After a massive oil spill off the California coast,
there was a ton of movement around environmental stewardship in this country.
We had our first Earth Day, the Clean Air Act passed with only one person in all of Congress voting no,
and that same Congress, along with Tricky Dick, created the EPA.
Anthropocene era of ours, another Republican administration is doing everything in its power to destroy the EPA,
all while we civilians contend with the effects of human-caused climate change.
That story is coming up on the show today.
