For years, there hasn’t been much of a scene in Sagaponack. The Little Red Schoolhouse is delightful, and sometimes so is the Village Hall.

The burning of fossil fuels is the leading cause of climate change. Trump has repeatedly called climate change a “hoax.” Meanwhile, Suffolk County resident Lee Zeldin of Shirley, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, is canceling, on a sweeping basis, environmental regulations, discharging EPA employees, and, last week, stopping the collection of greenhouse gas emission data.
