Trump signs order dismantling Obama-era climate policies

[FakeNews]

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an order to undo Obama-era climate change regulations, keeping a campaign promise to support the coal industry and calling into question U.S. support for an international deal to fight global warming.

Flanked by coal miners and coal company executives, Trump proclaimed his "Energy Independence" executive order at the headquarters of the Environmental Protection Agency.

The move drew swift backlash from a coalition of 23 states and local governments, as well as environmental groups, which called the decree a threat to public health and vowed to fight it in court.

The order's main target is former President Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan, which required states to slash carbon emissions from power plants - a key factor in the United States' ability to meet its commitments under a climate change accord reached by nearly 200 countries in Paris in 2015.

Blue states don't care. They're going to observe Obama's policies anyway.

I hope this keeps phrodeau up at night. Hyperventillating, wondering if that is elevated carbon dioxide he smells. . .

China and India aren't.

Shame you have to breathe the same atmosphere, isn't it?

Everything the blue states consume will be made elsewhere.

I wonder if any imitative of his will pass without either being just plain ignored or taken to court. He must be getting a bit annoyed by now.

Fuck China and India! You want to hold 3rd world developing nations up as an example or do the right thing?

What is "the right thing" and why?

Why do you want those developing nations not to develop, racist?

You do realize the most reliable indicator of a country's economic power and development is it's consumption of energy?

Every poor village in the world would love to be able to afford machinery and the energy to run it.

All who are not preaching the expansion of nuclear power display that they are not at all serious about reducing carbon emmissions and can be summarilly dissmised for the fools and posturers they are.

You are leaving this world worse than when you came into it. No other generation has done that.

That's you, personally. You.

No, that's you.

Unless you really are a Sgt Spidey alt. My carbon footprint is miniscule. I reduce, reuse and recycle to a degree that I am quite sure you could never live within. I waste less than a net of nothing.

So fuck off with your virtue signalling. Your "contribution" to the planet of an illinformed thread on a porn board on a subject you have frequently demonstrated you know little to nothing about is beyond laughable.

You are as bad as HardRom calling me a racist. He knows maybe 3-4 non-white people. I live in the barrio and nearly all of my clients are disadvantaged in some way, which makes it not surprising that most are racial minorities.

By the way... bullshit on my generation leaving the world worse than we got it. Actual pollution, just like actual racism has dramatically declined. Redefining what those two words actually mean doesn't give you wings in secular heaven, poser.

 

[Conager]

. . .unless you mean that whole strip-miner phase of my life. I did carve a pretty nasty gash out of Mother Earth.

Yes the edges look a little man-made now, but give it a few eons of time and it'll look perfectly natrual again. . .

Catch the sunset through the dust at the right angle and you might as well be admiring the Grand Canyon.

You want to see a force hell-bent on tearing up the Earth? Water. It is relentless.

No, actually, I think it probably would be one or more of these:

See how many social democracies rank as high or higher than the U.S. on:

The Democracy Index.

The Human Development Index.

The Where-to-Be Born Index.

The World Happiness Report.

The Human Poverty Index.

And even:

The Index of Economic Freedom.

This is an outrageously false claim...



... on more than one level.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

If CO2 is such a nasty pollutant, why do plants love it so much?



GED holders should not play scientist on the internet.

Yeah, every generation leaves more folks than it was greeted by . . .


each one spewing more CO2 with every exhale.


Hunters are the best environmentalists I know, as a group.


And they tote guns and shoot Bambi, too.

Mona Lisa Vito: [comes out of the bathroom] Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along, you get thirsty, you spot a little brook, you put your little deer lips down to the cool clear water... BAM! A fuckin bullet rips off part of your head! Your brains are laying on the ground in little bloody pieces! Now I ask ya. Would you give a fuck what kind of pants the son of a bitch who shot you was wearing?

After Trump scrapped St. Barry's Bullshit The Earth began heating up. The ice cap will start melting and lakes and oceans will come to a rolling boil. Oxygen deprivation will kill all of us in about a week.

The 97% of all scientists were right. We're so fucked.

KingO misses the real issue behind this story, most likely on a purely partisan personal preference to ignore what is actually transpiring.

The next President should write and sign an executive order that voids every executive order Trump has signed.

Exactly as I said. Redefining the word pollution does not make the biosphere more polluted now than the year of my birth.

You are suggesting that, given the option to return to the days of open dumping of industrial waste, we should, if it meant lower concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

If I had a time machine, I would drag you back to the love canal and dunk your useless head in it.

You should stick to useless, vague, snarky posts.

What Obama implemented with EOs for EPA actions, those Trump just rescinded, were already declared unconstitutional by the SCOTUS.

So you're telling us that Donald Trump is only jerking off.
