Climate Change or Not ?

President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday, opening a new front in his battle against former President Obama's environmental legacy. The order is a broad assault on key aspects of Obama's climate change policies, and dramatically alters the government's approach to rising sea levels and temperatures- two impacts of climate change. The administration believes the government can both serve the environment and increase energy by urging the EPA to focus on what the administration believes its core mission: clean air and clean water. Here is an article of the CNN news of Trumps executive order, "Trump dramatically changes U.S approach to climate change"

I agree with president Trump's order to decrease  the amount of pollution in the air, and provide clean air. I'm assuming that limiting pollution in the air would improve our environment. President Trump is also protecting American jobs, even though some of these factories had made pollution in our air, Trump is trying to reduce the amount of pollution without people losing their jobs. Trump has been clear that he wouldn't pursue climate change policies that put U.S economy at risk.

Also by limiting pollution in the air can make a better change for our health, and decrease climate change. The White House went on to argue the best way to protect the environment is to have a strong economy, and not like the countries of China and India that do less to protect their environment, we can save more peoples lives by reducing toxins in the air. Also it can benefit future generations such as grandchildren, so they can have a clean air to breath.

  1. On my colleagues article "Climate Change or Not?" she was commenting on a article published by CNN named "Trump dramatically changes U.S approach to climate change". In Maria's blog states information about Trump's order to decrease the amount of pollution in our air without people losing their jobs. I agree with the decrease of the amount of pollution that is in our economy because as a human I need clean air. We as a community need to survive we need clean air for ourselves; for my family, and my future family. I also agree with that fact that Trump is trying to do a good thing in the economy without affecting anyone with their job employment. We as citizens need jobs to keep on paying for our bills and to take care of our families. I liked how Maria said "best way to protect the environment is to have a strong economy." This implies that we need to be united to have clean air because united is what makes us strong. I agree with everything that Maria had to say on her article. However, I would suggest to add more information about what World Resources Institute, has to say about president Trump.
