That might be a while but so far:
1) Chemicals bad
2) Trump EPA deliberately useless
3) Texas loves pollution
4) Probably Russia

I've finished it now.

Cross out #4 & #5 and replace them with "the problem is worse than we thought" and "Biden's EPA can try to change things, but the companies have a head start on hiding/changing data" respectively.
