9/ If Joe Biden wins the presidency, some of these rollbacks, like the U.S. exiting the Paris climate accord, can be reversed right away, Others could be settled in court quickly, or potentially nullified by the Congressional Review Act. But many would take years to undo. — PolitiTweet.org

8/ A controversial plan to mine titanium and zirconium near GA's Okefenokee Swamp, the largest national wildlife refuge east of the Mississippi, is moving ahead without federal oversight. And a pesticide linked to neurological damage in kids, chlorpyrifos, is still on the market. — PolitiTweet.org

7/ BLM granted a lease to a Denver-based firm atop Utah’s remote Labyrinth Canyon three weeks before Congress designated the area wilderness, so the company is gearing up to drill for helium there with a 150 foot-high rig. — PolitiTweet.org

6/ Despite ongoing litigation, these policy changes are already changing America’s landscape. Interior’s Bureau of Land Management leased more than 2.5 million acres in previously-protected sage grouse habitat before federal courts blocked it from doing so. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ States, along with environmental and public health groups, have challenged a total of Trump’s 89 rollbacks (all of which but two are finalized). They have won two-thirds of the time in recent decisions, 37 rulings out of 54. — PolitiTweet.org

4/ By contrast, Teddy Roosevelt used his executive authority to protect 1.5 million acres of federal lands and waters. Obama protected 548.6 million acres. Here’s a graphic @asteckelberg and I did on that at the end of Obama’s second term: https://t.co/JjQvOz6kP6 — PolitiTweet.org

3/ Trump, who last month called himself “the No. 1 environmental president since Teddy Roosevelt,” has stripped federal protections from 29.6 million acres of federal lands and waters – an area slightly larger than the state of Pennsylvania. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ The administration has targeted policies curbing air pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change, more than any area. It’s completed 42 rollbacks on this front, with drilling and extraction coming in second, at 37. — PolitiTweet.org

Juliet Eilperin @eilperin

1/ Trump has rolled back more than 125 environmental and energy policies since taking office, according to an analysis I did with @brady_dennis and @JohnMuyskens - with nearly 40 more underway. Here's what we found: https://t.co/2u9jaCd5yV https://t.co/AlqAPsC53Z — PolitiTweet.org
