Make America Great Again....Shut down the EPA forever.
This is good news.
Trump is the best. MAGA!
“The agency would be dialed back to focus strictly on “genuine pollutants” that pose immediate harm to public health, and not carbon pollution blamed for causing manmade global warming.”
There is no direct scientific correlation between manmade emissions of carbon dioxide and world wide temperatures either up or down. Emissions of fine particulate such as soot and volcanic ash on the other hand which make it to the upper atmosphere such as from volcanoes have been known to cause world wide cooling.
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It is a beneficial trace gas necessary for all life on the planet. Historically, rising worldwide temperatures lead the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by a hundred years or so. When the temperature of the oceans rise they release vast amounts of dissolved CO2.
The temperature of the earth has been rising at a cyclic, but more or less steady rate since the end of the coldest period of the “little ice age” which corresponded with the end of the Maunder Minimum in Solar Activity in 1715. This is well documented.
A couple of SE PA counties were the highest percentage in PA for Trump — 82+%. Monroe County in Ohio went +47% for Trump after being -18% for Romney in 2012.
This is getting better and better.
Pull the trigger!
If the coal states PA and OH would have shifted 1%, Hillary would be President.
Global warming defeated Hillary.
I've seen what the Marcellus Shale boom has done for many workers in Western PA, and Eastern Ohio, and the same thing can happen because of coal.
..real Americans love coal, oil and steel—our own...
Trump is just saying this to get votes. YOU JUST WATCH - the moment he takes office, he’ll fill his transition team with Greenpeace and Sierra Club types.
You think Obama was bad, Trump is 100 TIMES WORSE. He will end all fossil fuels, once and for all.
How do I know, why I can read his mind with my special powers.
(see tag line)
It’s fine for the EPA to get their boot of the coal industry’s neck, but unless natural gas gets back above $5-$6 and stays there, there will never be another coal power plant built in North America.
It is not just a war on coal, it is also a war on reliable, cheap electricity.
