Can anyone who is decrying this move explain what regulations were rolled back, what regulations are still in effect and why the removed ones are important rather than saying things like the republicans want to decimate the National Parks and the beach in Pensacola is going to be destroyed?

This keeps getting worse and worse. Why are conservatives so set on destroying the environment? I know many believe that the return of Jesus Christ is imminent so environmental protections don't matter; but what if they are wrong? What is so wrong with making sure the next generation has a planet that is livable?
When 2018 gets here, VOTE.

Get anyone you know that might sit on the fence off their butt and VOTE.

To be fair though, Trump is stupid so he has that going for him.

That legislation (not regulation, but legislation) is considered the most important environmental legislation ever created and has the distinction of being authored almost entirely by the Bush1 administration before it made it passed through Congress on almost unanimous bipartisan vote.

That depends, the things done under the Obama administration are so easily undone because he never worked it through Congress. The Clean Air Act Amendment of 1990 authored by George H. W. Bush is still with us and will continue to be with us unless Congress and another sitting President act on it. If Trump can start getting things through Congress they will not be easily changed.

They can't tell you that because the proposal hasn't even been published yet.

Just more fear mongering from the left. Don't mind them.

Conservatism is a serious mental disorder.
