Why not attack science? If you are in the coal business, you would want to politicize the science as much as possible, maximizing the public's confusion, in order to maximize the amount of coal sold to power plants that are kept open by Trump. And you'd pick a coal lobbyist to regulate pollution from coal burning: Andrew Wheeler, a former coal industry lobbyist, was confirmed as EPA Administrator on February 28, 2019.

Employment in coal mining peaked in the U.S. in 1923, at 862,536. Remember that big coal-mining comeback promised by Trump? Well, employment in the sector did go up by 400 jobs in November to an estimated 53,200, although in the grand scheme of things, even the 2,500 coal-mining jobs added since Trump took office really don’t amount to much.

What did democrats do to address global warming?

Just look at CO2 emissions over the decades. The person who actually reduced emissions was dumbya - by crashing the economy.

No democrat has made one bit of difference.




And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

I'm not saying they've done enough, but the Dems aren't the ones deregulating all the polluting industries and installing climate deniers in the EPA. That's your party.

Do YOU see any democrat-driven reductions? I don't.

Hello to all Russian trolls. The repeal fulfills a promise President Trump made to eradicate his predecessor’s environmental legacy:
