Climate Change or Not ? : Part II

As I mentioned in my previous blog, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that could spell the end of Obama's environmental policy. Which means a clear difference between how Trump and former President Barack Obama view the role the U.S plays in combating climate change, and dramatically alters the governments approach to rising sea levels and temperatures, two impacts of climate change.

I found a new article that talked about Trump's executive order on climate change, and has completely change my mind towards Trumps executive order. In the article, "What Trump's executive order on climate change means for the world", made a better understanding of Trump's decision towards climate change. I thought the whole time Trump wanted to decrease air pollution, but I was wrong. In this article mentions Trumps order will curb the enforcement of a number of climate regulations in an effort, the Trump administration says, to prioritize American jobs above addressing climate change. Which means Trump is focusing on to make coal competitive again in the U.S economy, by re-fossilizing the U.S power sector and increasing carbon emissions.

Which means Trump's administration is putting "Climate Change" aside and putting climate change deniers in positions of power.
