Trump set to undo Obama’s action against global warming

[the_ad id=”90513″]

At last, some common sense. This is the biggest fraud in American history. Not another penny should be spent on it.

“Trump set to undo Obama’s action against global warming,” Fox News, March 28, 2017:

Moving forward with a campaign pledge to unravel former President Obama’s sweeping plan to curb global warming, President Trump on Tuesday is set to sign an executive order that will suspend, rescind or flag for review more than a half-dozen measures in an effort to boost domestic energy production in the form of fossil fuels.

As part of the roll-back, Trump will initiate a review of the Clean Power Plan, which restricts greenhouse gas emissions at coal-fired power plants.

The regulation, which was the former president’s signature effort to curb carbon emissions, has been the subject of long-running legal challenges by Republican-led states and those who profit from burning oil, coal and gas.

Trump, who has called global warming a “hoax” invented by the Chinese, has repeatedly criticized the power-plant rule and others as an attack on American workers and the struggling U.S. coal industry. The contents of the order were outlined to reporters in a sometimes tense briefing with a senior White House official, whom aides insisted speak without attribution, despite Trump’s criticism of the use of unnamed sources.

The official at one point appeared to break with mainstream climate science, denying familiarity with widely publicized concerns about the potential adverse economic impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels and more extreme weather.

In addition to pulling back from the Clean Power Plan, the administration will also lift a 14-month-old moratorium on new coal leases on federal lands.

The Obama administration had imposed a three-year moratorium on new federal coal leases in January 2016, arguing that the $1 billion-a-year program must be modernized to ensure a fair financial return to taxpayers and address climate change.

Trump accused his predecessor of waging a “war on coal” and boasted in a speech to Congress that he has made “a historic effort to massively reduce job-crushing regulations,” including some that threaten “the future and livelihoods of our great coal miners.”

The order will also chip away at other regulations, including scrapping language on the “social cost” of greenhouse gases. It will initiate a review of efforts to reduce the emission of methane in oil and natural gas production as well as a Bureau of Land Management hydraulic fracturing rule, to determine whether those reflect the president’s policy priorities.

It will also rescind Obama-era executive orders and memoranda, including one that addressed climate change and national security and one that sought to prepare the country for the impacts of climate change.

The administration is still in discussion about whether it intends to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change. But the moves to be announced Tuesday will undoubtedly make it more difficult for the U.S. to achieve its goals.

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency chief, Scott Pruitt, alarmed environmental groups and scientists earlier this month when he said he does not believe carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming. The statement is at odds with mainstream scientific consensus and Pruitt’s own agency.

The overwhelming majority of peer-reviewed studies and climate scientists agree the planet is warming, mostly due to man-made sources, including carbon dioxide, methane, halocarbons and nitrogen oxide.

The official who briefed reporters said the president does believe in man-made climate change….

AGW is nothing more than a blatant attempt to give Islam (OPEC) a market advantage by disabling Western energy producers. It also aides China’s manufacturing sector – since their coal industry is immune.

The West needs to gradually phase out Islamic oil, and switch to domestic sources.

First, oil, gas, and coal are NOT derived from fossils. Stop calling them fossil fuels. Second, we can and do burn gas, oil, and coal cleanly, what is not clean about them is when they simply bubble up out of the ground! Should we tax mother earth??????? Third, there is no other energy source today that can supply as much energy….and don’t say nuclear because we run out of uranium long before we run out of carbon fuels. AGW is nothing more than a means for the global elite to retain their wealth and control. Don’t be fooled.

The global warming / climate change hoax was merely a device by Obhammud to enrich his wealthy friends through crony capitalism.

“flag for review”?
The evidence that shows that global warming is a hoax is in.
What is there to review?
I’m really suspicious of the “flag for review” BS.
