If there were any lingering doubts over Donald Trumps enthusiasm for shoving the US back into the smoggy embrace of fossil fuels, his decision to revive the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines banishes them utterly.
Trump has thrown down the most provocative gauntlet possible to the environmental movement, which now sees its worst fears crystalizing within a few days of the inauguration. This will be an aggressively pro-oil and gas administration, even if that means boiling the planet.
Donald Trump has been in office for four days and hes already proving to be the dangerous threat to our climate we feared he would be, said Michael Brune, executive director of the environmental organisation the Sierra Club.

Michael, might want to take that p*$$y hat off. The march is over.
If the Guardian attacks you, you know you’re doing something right!
We’re turning the page. Done with all that Marxist claptrap.
The comments there are hysterical. In the literal sense.
Go and read the comments at the link! Totally deranged!
That's what I like...good journalism. Good journalism should leave you wondering which side of the fence the writer is on. Today, most journalism is verbal diarrhea.
At least they spelled Trump’s name correctly.
What do British motorcars and lorries run on?
“This will be an aggressively pro-oil and gas administration...”
Horseshit! It’s a pro-US energy independence administration - what the Department of Energy was supposed to do when it was created. Furthermore, the “boil the planet” comment is simply editorial stupidity motivated by political bias.
Actually, I can!
The pipeline response is so easy.
Canada is producing the oil and will continue to do so. You don’t like that, talk to Canada.
Canada says either China or the USA will refine the oil, which happens to be heavy tar oil, difficult to refine cleanly. China has the dirtiest refineries in the world and the USA has the cleanest.
Pick your refiner.
Also, trucks and rail spill oil at 40 times the rate per mile compared to pipelines. Use safer pipelines to transport oil whenever possible.
These things are good for the environment.
I will say upfront that Trump was not my first choice for President. I was never convinced that he is particularly conservative, just a good salesman. Of course, voting for Trump over Hillary was a no brainer, since I knew without any doubt exactly what Hillary is, but I am still a bit uneasy over what we will get from President Trump.
President Trump’s cabinet appointments made me a lot less uneasy. President Trump pissing off the radical environmental left is making me positively giddy. As deranged as the left got over President Bush, I have not seen them this apoplectic since President Reagan.
If President Trump follows through with his promise and nominates a conservative replacement for Justice Scalia then I will become an enthusiastic Trump supporter and will sincerely apologize for ever doubting him.
Global warming is stupid. First of all, it was first brought up by Al Gore, who is not a scientist. Of course, a lot of “scientists” now advocate for that improven idea. But they do it because they know “climate science” is a lucrative source of grants from George Soros, the thoroughly corrupt EPA, nonsensical NASA and other sources. And because it’s all fake science, that money can go directly into the pockets of the “scientists.” When you are doing fake science, you don’t really have to do experiments. Just write up a papers saying whatever you need it to say and cash the check.
