Trump to drop climate change from environmental reviews: Bloomberg

President Donald Trump is set to sign an order to greatly reduce the role climate change plays in decision making across the U.S. government, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the administration's plan.

The order, which could be signed this week, aims to reverse former Democratic President Barack Obama's broad approach for addressing climate change, the report said. (bloom.bg/2nkDvKo)

The directive will urge the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to undo the Clean Power Plan, the Bloomberg report said.

The Clean Power Plan is Obama's centerpiece initiative to combat climate change, requiring states to slash emissions of carbon dioxide, but it was never implemented due to legal challenges launched by several Republican states.

According to the report, the measure would direct U.S. regulators to rescind Obama-era regulations limiting oil industry emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

The order will also involve a reconsideration of the government's use of a metric known as the "social cost of carbon", which weighs the potential economic damage from climate change, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.

Trump has long signaled his intention to reverse Obama's climate-change initiatives, but the Republican president has vowed his planned overhaul of green regulation would not jeopardize America's water and air quality.

Reuters reported earlier this month that the White House had proposed to slash a quarter of the EPA's budget, targeting climate-change programs and those designed to prevent air and water pollution like lead contamination.

The Bloomberg report said that some of the changes could happen immediately, while others could take years to implement.

Let's face it humanity is a disease that needs to get wiped out. This helps speed up the process

Very few people have been serious over the past few decades about stopping climate change, so if we're not gonna solve it... let's get to the other endpoint of the situation :yeshrug:

This is the convoluted crux. It's confusing, and it's supposed to be confusing.

Yes climate changes naturally over time.

But remember the scare was "global warming" 10 years ago.

Climate change, as being man-made problem from industry and transportation is a hoax. Geoenginneering, which spraying aerosol chemicals into the atmosphere is real. Over time that can create some problems on weather and climate.



Air and water pollution from man-made industry and transportation is real.

Fuuckushima radiation pouring across the Pacific and leaving a trail of dead aquatic life is real.

So the point is Trump should make sure our industrial and transportation and energy sources are as clean as possible. Technically, the U.S. in some ways has led the way in trying to have cleaner industry, transportation, and energy (fracking not included), which is exactly why some businesses left........and why with Trump wanting to deregulate.....they may come back......to pollute some more....:dead:.


It's convoluted as fuuuck.......:leostare:


Real pollution...
