Trump wants to roll back progress against climate change. He’s going to fail.

Worse, this dimwit thinks the Clean Air Act prevents Trump from changing anything via executive action alone.

The Clean Air Act turns all power and details over to EPA. Their regulations are “codified” here:

And POTUS can most definitely order changes to those regulations.

Of course, some fired, disgruntled ex-employees of EPA will team with an enviro-nazi group to sue, and likely get some dimwit Federal Judge to side with them and order a TRO.

No matter, once the Federal courts are through, the POTUS will prevail.

Sometimes they give it away:

“SCOTT BARRETT, Columbia University: I think that the two degree target was chosen more for political reasons than for true scientific reasons. The idea was to — if countries could agree on a collective target, that that would mobilize the action needed to get the whole world to act together.”

They haven’t even proven climate change is happening.

They said he wouldn’t be a serious candidate in the primaries, wouldn’t win the nomination, wouldn’t beat Clinton...

But hope for the saving the Earth is not yet lost.

If only we can stop the use of all fossil fuels, take away everybody's freedom (except ours, of course), and depopulate the world by getting rid of 6.75 BILLION people (naturally starting with the white, American Christians), THEN we have a chance to save the planet!! /s

Funny about that name “Adler”.
Algerian is a form of psycho therapy, dealing with feelings of inferiority and need for power over others, such as climate change fanatics demonstrate.

But I think the better understanding would be to take it at face value — “Adler”: one who addles brains by endless spewing of stuff & nonsense.

“The plan was to so damage our nations immune system that the country would crash...”

Well that didn’t work out either. :)

[Mr. K]

Sure he is

Just like he was going to fail to win the Presidency

Trump wants to roll back progress against climate change. He’s going to fail.

"Yeah, and he's not going to be President either!"

Oh, wait.

[subterfuge]

“Methane leakage?” Just tell Michael Moore and Rob The Meathead Reiner to lay off the beefy burritos and boom! Problem solved!

[Gene Eric]

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

[BwanaNdege]

So many unproven assumptions in one statement. 1) Has he proven that humans are responsible for any global change in Climate?

2) Has he proven that any change in Climate today has not similarly occurred in the past prior to the advent of fossil fuels?

3) Has he proven that anything we do today (including damaging our businesses by increasing cost and regulations ) can affect the climate at all in a significant way?

4) I've been very cold (as in Hypothermia) and very hot. I have done outside manual labor in 115 degree temps. Has anyone demonstrated that Cold is better that Hot?

5) The vast majority of 'greenhouse effect warming' caused by CO2 takes place below about 100 ppm. Addding additional CO2 above the present level of about 400 ppm has very little effect.

6) CO2 is Plant Food. In what way is more Plant Food bad?

"NASA's Earth Science News Team

A quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25."

7) AGW warriors fret about a 1.6 degree Celsius/2.88 F rise by the end of the century. How do citizens of Fairbanks Alaska survive temperatures from a minimum of -75F to a maximum of 99F?

How is anyone still left alive in Loma, MT?

"The greatest temperature change in 24 hours occurred in Loma (Montana) on January 15, 1972. The temperature rose exactly 103 degrees, from -54 degrees Fahrenheit to 49 degrees. This is the world record for a 24—hour temperature change."

(the list goes on for anyone who actually thinks this through...)

>>To avert catastrophic climate change, the broadly accepted goal among climate scientists is to stay below two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) of warming over preindustrial temperatures.

>> Obama created conditions that are necessary, but insufficient, to get there.

So, Obama failed to avert catastrophe. Trump is wiping out regulations that make some people feel good, but fail in their stated purpose.

Obama is a liberal who helped banks and insurance companies at the expense of poor people.

Obama is a environmentalist who failed to avert catastrophe.

Obama is a Muslim who attended a nominally Christian church.

Obama is a blackish person who grew up white.

Obama is a husband of a woman, but is queer.

Why do Leftists worship this failure so much?

I didn’t know Trump could control sun spots.

Sure thing Ben.

WASHINGTON POST = FAKE NEWS and usual LIBERAL BS POV.

[FourtySeven]

That’s a very interesting chart where did you get it?

[beethovenfan]

That’s right. The climate will just keep on changing.

[stillfree?]

Geez, the global warming story has a half-life longer than the Russian story.
