Trump and other climate change deniers, who never discuss clearly observed empirical impacts such as ocean acidification and ocean warming, now can ignore that the Great Barrier Reef has been declared dead, with a disastrous impact on marine life.

Climate change and ocean acidification have killed off one of the most spectacular features on the planet.

The Koch brothers, their Republican puppets, Trump and his Trumpies all can take a bow.

Is it any wonder that most of the rest of the world now looks at the U.S. environmental policies with dismay, if not total disgust?

Global food security is at great risk if man-made climate change is not mitigated in the near future.

The world’s population is expected to grow to almost 10 billion by 2050, an increase of around 30 per cent.
Almost half the world’s population relies on food from the ocean as the primary source of protein, and with this anticipated population growth seafood will continue to be in high demand.
For many decades scientists have studied the changing climate and now have clear evidence of impacts on the ocean.>>

One example of what worries marine scientists:

<<Rising sea levels will cover wetlands and other low lying habitats where fish reproduce, and destroy mangroves, the nurseries for many commercially important fish species.>>

Now Pruitt is doing his best to ramp up the climate change denial, from within the EPA. We might as well rename the Environmental Protection Agency the Environmental Denial Agency.

How about asking them to consider what sort of future their kids will have, living on a dying planet?

It has been dying for decades.
Including when there were Democrat presidents.

Hard to present scientific research when the right doesn't believe in science. They don't even want public schools to teach it. That's why all the charter schools ....amazing.....

Maybe you pretend environmentalists will take on DOW and Monsanto, you know the ones who actually ARE harming the environment instead of blaming the guys who are only questioning whether the planet is getting warmer or not and if there's anything that man is doing that's in part responsible.
Nah, you'll never get guys like Obama or Hillary or Sanders or Gore to make even a peep that maybe big chemical is killing off honeybees or the butterflies and poisoning us with GMO crops. Instead you'll let them make money fighting a phantom like global warming and blame everything on it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some dandelions in my yard I want to get rid of. Maybe I can spray it with carbon dioxide. That stuff's nasty.
