Surprise! The very people who preach “climate change” and want to ban your gas stove for being a “danger” to the environment are now refusing to send aid to Ohio amid a devastating ecological disaster.
According to reports, the Biden administration denied Ohio officials’ requests for Federal Disaster Assistance after a train derailment two weeks ago that resulted in a toxic chemical mushroom cloud explosion.
The air around East Palestine, Ohio is full of chemicals, and local bodies of water have been polluted with hazardous materials, including the Ohio River that runs through numerous states.
The train carrying toxic chemicals, including vinyl chloride, derailed on February 3. A week later, on February 10, officials conducted a “controlled release” of chemicals from the derailed cars. An act that has been referred to as “basically nuking a town with chemicals” by hazmat specialists:
More info came out about the chemicals on the train derailed in E Palestine OH. A hazmat specialist said "“We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open"???????? this is what I was telling ya’ll yesterday in the quote.

Yet the White House did not send a top official to check it out until Thursday, when EPA Administrator Michael Regan toured the town to assess the damage and.
Despite the EPA’s ludicrous claims that the water in East Palestine is safe to drink, Regan reportedly declined an offer to drink the tap water.
As if that were not bad enough, in addition to denying aid, Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is now blaming former President Donald Trump for the chemical disaster.
Imagine that.
The White House told Fox News that FEMA is not equipped to provide assistance when it comes to derailments and chemical explosions.
FOX News reported:
A Biden administration official told Fox News Digital that it has provided extensive assistance to surrounding communities following the chemical release earlier this month in eastern Ohio. However, the official said the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the agency that usually provides relief to communities hit by hurricanes and other natural disasters, isn’t best equipped to support the state’s current needs.
“The Biden Administration is mobilizing a robust, multi-agency effort to support the people of East Palestine, Ohio. Since February 3, the Environmental Protection Agency has had personnel on the ground,” the official told Fox News Digital. “FEMA is coordinating with the emergency operations center working closely with the Ohio Emergency Management Agency.”
“But what East Palestine needs is much more expansive than what FEMA can provide,” they continued. “FEMA is on the frontlines when there is a hurricane or tornado. This situation is different.”
FEMA could still show up with clean water and food for people. How are they not equipped for that when that is exactly what they do after a natural disaster?
Biden and his minions are full of crap.
