Trump kills Clean Power Plan, orders agencies to ignore climate change

If you pour oil in a river, it will still catch fire.

What a simplistic sad world you live in.

I prefer to live in a country where we can breath clean air, drink clean water, and we can step outside without fear of health problems.

Maybe you'd prefer to live in China where it's all about making a buck and **** the environment and people?



Anybody else remember what it was like before the Clean Water Act? Lake Erie was all but dead and some rivers were so polluted you could tell what color paper they were making that day or some caught on fire.

60% of the air pollution in America, is from China.

You are under the impression people think like you all the time. Humility is a good thing. Did you know that?

I've found that intelligent people usually think in similar manner, no matter what different conclusions they may arrive at. One of the similarities resting in speaking what they know of and keeping the hell quiet on what they're ignorant of.

The latter being not as much a product of humility as of not wishing to make fools of themselves.

No, the moronic drivel is the left loonies calling this the beginning of the end of humanity. I am just mocking that BS tone.

Doubling down only reaffirms my earlier point, unless of course you can cite a source where anyone has claimed that the end of humanity is at hand.

I've got a free ticket Bejing if you want it. Let's make you live there for 30 days and see how you like the air. Maybe you'll stay there as you obviously don't love your country much.

This link states the % is closer to 24% but i read an article recently that stated the pollution in Utah, which acts like a big catch basin was significantly higher because it pools there. Ill keep looking for that link.

China?s international trade and air pollution in the United States

The link says 12-24%, and that's for sulfate polutants. Thank you for the link, bu I question the thoroughness of that study. It is very short on specifics. Not sure if they are using some intangible methods of measurement or what???
 
And in addition, there is protecting the Strait of Hormuz, there was the oil depletion allowance, there were the invasions of Iraq. All done to keep the oil coming. Subsidies to renewables are small potatoes compared to how we subsidized oil. Not saying any of it was wrong, just subsidies.

Seriously? Nearly every single person elected President has displayed narcissistic tendencies. Hell, most politicians do. Our last President had a bucket of such.
