President Trump's rollback of Obama-era climate regulations will cause the United States to pump an extra 1.8 billion tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere between now and 2035

Ironically, most of those rollbacks drew opposition from some of the regulated companies — utilities, automakers, oil and gas majors and chemical manufacturers — that were concerned either about falling behind international standards, closing off markets for U.S. manufacturers or damaging corporate reputations as support for climate action grows among Americans.

“Right now it’s the party of Trump,” she told POLITICO. “If the only Republicans left standing are the QAnon supporters or the far right supporters, that’s how the party will be defined. It’s a real worry.” Prepandemic emissions have largely been flat since Trump took office, Hausfather said. But that represents a failure, he said, because the concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continue to rise, which means that future action will need to be that much more aggressive to prevent the planet from hitting a point of no return.

“President Trump understands economic growth and environmental protection do not need to conflict, implementing common sense policies that have kept our air, water, and environment clean, including lower CO2 emissions, while also putting us on a strong foundation to build one of the strongest economies for decades to come,” White House spokesperson Judd Deere said in a statement.

And while Republicans largely cheered Trump’s moves to scrap Obama rules, some lamented the administration’s inability to articulate its own vision for combating climate change. The Trump administration frequently notes that many regulated industries, especially the power sector, continue to reduce their emissions despite the rescission of Obama rules. But that doesn’t mean those gains couldn’t be steeper, or that the declines are due to Trump’s replacement rules either, according to critics.

Mary Trump: ‘Nobody tells as many lies on purpose’ as President Trump“What he lies about is dangerous,” Mary Trump says of Pres. Trump. “I really do hope that the debates do not become yet another forum for Donald to tell his lies and spin facts to favor him.” Trump will, as usual, come to the debates unprepared and try to wing his endless idiotic spin. It's old and worn out and won't convince any undecided voters. His 'decided' lemming voters wont be swayed by anything negative about him. They are a lost cause I just hope Donna Brasille doesn't slip Biden the questions beforehand. :) He's going to lie 'bigly' and his base will lap it up like dogs drinking antifreeze. He repeats his lies over and over until the truth is hardly discernable and everything is in confused chaos. It's pretty hard to watch. All I can do is vote for Biden.
