I luv this administration doesn’t give a dam what the global warming looney birds think. As Chris Matthews would say Trump gives me a thrill up my leg!

It's a middle finger, but not to the global warming scientists and other realists.

The middle finger is to our children, grandchildren and their descendants.

History will be very unkind to the Republicans and to the climate denier movement.

the only ones giving the middle finger...are the ignorant

...the only realists are the ones that did any research

The USA barely even shows up....if we went to zero...it would make no difference
...that's how small our impact is

Good news is that coal plants know these rules change with time and that they will be put back into place once the fat orange dufus is out of office. So there won't be any big ramp up in coal usage. States are also taking actions on climate change, giving a middle birdie to the trumplings.

Most states will go their own way with tighter restrictions on coal plants, I don’t expect this to be meaningful as we move away from coal. It’s a shame this administration doesn’t believe their own scientists

Again with this?

DT and his some kind of DOE need to get this trough their thick heads; coal is dead as a fuel source for power generation. No one is going to invest in new plants that burn solid fuel, nor is anyone likely to reopen those that are shuttered long as this country is awash in cheap natural gas.

People just don't build new power generation plants based upon what comes out of Washington, but look at the long game.

This is an administration that says it doesn't believe in polls, does its own internal polls anyway, then Trump fires the pollsters when the results aren't what he wanted. Why should they believe in anything they don't like?
