Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump will sign a sweeping executive order Tuesday at the Environmental Protection Agency, which looks to curb the federal government's enforcement of climate regulations by putting American jobs above addressing climate change.

The order represents a clear difference between how Trump and former President Barack Obama view the role the United States plays in combating climate change, and dramatically alters the government's approach to rising sea levels and temperatures -- two impacts of climate change.
A White House official briefed on the plan said Monday the administration believes the government can both "serve the environment and increase energy independence at the same time" by urging the EPA for focus on what the administration believes is its core mission: Clean air and clean water.
The Paris Agreement is bigger than Trump... isn't it?
More important than regulating climate change, the official said, is protecting American jobs.
Specifically, the order will rescind at least six Obama-era executive orders aimed at curbing climate change and regulating carbon emissions, including Obama's November 2013 executive order instructing the federal government to prepare for the impact of climate change and the September 2016 presidential memorandum that outlined the "growing threat to national security" that climate change poses.
 
So the new approach is deny it and make as much money as possible trashing the planet because it will all happen after we are dead.

Good plan.


It's not like anyone was doing anything to stop it. It just gets worse every year. This year is on it's way to being the hottest year ever.

Pretty much. None of the current plans like a carbon tax would do crap anyway. The ultimate problem is overpopulation, and nobody seems to want to touch that one. Cutting emissions 30% won't do crap if the world has another 3-4 billion people in 2050 who all want their own cars, and electronics and air conditioning. Our only hope is figuring out how to artificially remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere in the future. Outside of that, we're screwed.

Nihilism.

'I'm depressed, so everyone should suffer.'

You're a crybaby.
 
The Chumpster Fire in Chief did promise to bring the old system down and it must be said that pushing every part of it to its illogical extreme is an effective strategy.

He has no idea how well he's doing at uniting the opposition!
