The Erasure  - 🇺🇸

by Dana Wall

"'On the night she receives her termination notice, EPA climate scientist Celine Chan sits alone in her kitchen, processing the destruction of both her career and the foundational climate protections she spent sixteen years defending. Celine unpacks the Trump administration's plan to repeal the "endangerment finding"—the scientific declaration that gives the federal government authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. As dawn breaks and her 8-year-old daughter Ember wakes, Celine confronts the devastating reality that the very words that once protected her child's future are being systematically erased. Based on actual events."
