Trump’s administration has pursued cuts in environmental protections that are critical to the health of all Americans
Donald Trump is set to hail his administration’s “environmental leadership” on Monday in a speech in which he is expected to declare the US a world leader on the issue.
But since taking office two and a half years ago, the US president has been at the helm of an administration that has pursued numerous cuts in environmental protections and last year saw a rise in greenhouse gases of 3.4% – the biggest rise in emissions since 2010.
Pollution has actually increased by leaps and bounds under the grifter birther...
1) Departure from the Paris climate agreement
2) Shrinking national monuments and animal protections
3) Rollback of the Clean Power Plan
4) Cuts to clean water protections
5) More methane
The most amusing aspect is that Conservatives applaud these efforts. True conservatives understand the importance of protecting our environment and natural resources for one simple reason - it is a central tenet of our national security.
It is no coincidence that "conservation" and "conservatism" have the same Latin root.

Such low hanging fruit I generally avoid, but in this instance, I’ll just address #1
The Paris Climate Agreement, by all reasoned and accurate assessments would be an “US economy killer”, while leaving the largest polluters like China to continue unchecked and unrestricted. In reality, killing that was perhaps Trump’s best executive action to date, because that would have made it impossible for the other regulatory measures responsible for our economy soar as it has.
You lefties need to understand that the EU is no more our friend than is China. They are our competitors, and would love for the United States to willingly commit economic suicide, which would have surely happened had you nutjobs been successful in placing “crooked Hillary” in charge.

Our economy is also a major element of national security, because it pays for EVERYTHING
How you people survive day to day is a mystery, but what is no mystery is the detestation that we’d collectively suffer as a nation, if you all ever achieve your goals.

Lol.
You think the Paris Accord was going to do anything except transfer wealth? ROFLMAO!!!!!
Talk to me after you get China and India to cut their pollution down to the levels of the U.S.
The left acts like the United States is the big culprit, and they would be dead wrong. We could cut our emissions and greenhouse gasses down to ZERO and there would still be a global problem cause by developing nations that just don't care.
Send AOC to China and India and let's see how far she gets with flapping her lips about the environment over there.
