I don't get climate change deniers
if you don't want to believe that climate change is a product of mankind and their wasteful habits, that's one thing, but what's the worse thing to come out of seeking green energy/more efficient recycling programs?
more breathable air and less trash in the dumps/oceans?
THE HORROR
as for the EPA?
it's all about money like always
Trump and his buddies make money off of land, fuel, chemicals, etc...
plenty of ways for them to make more money if the laws become more lax

if regulating pollutants and cutting down on waste is a bad thing tell me how? And if your answer is jobs. Get a fucking clue. If you're kicked out of a menial manufacturing or factory job because of regulations that's scapegoating. What was your individual performance like as a worker? Your education level? Your ambition to move up in the company? Let's face it: the bottom barrel workers get cut because they are expendable. Not because "regulations" take a night course on excel, learn to type, figure out word, learn to make a spreadsheet. Complacency kills jobs, a lack of ambition to move up kills jobs. Not regulations.
So again how does working towards a cleaner burning energy source, emissions free living, and sustainable fuel turn into a bad thing. Global warming was going to happen anyway, the dinosaurs existed during a period of global warming. It is a naturally occurring phenomenon. It has been exacerbated by human hands. It's time we fought for more regulations, if coal companies go bust: good. Maybe subsidize college for the miners so when the inevitable happens they can find their way into other, good, jobs. Don't just step back on regulations like a grumpy child.
The waters off the coast of Newfoundland were over fished, to the point that they had to close down and re locate several small fishing villages along the coast. Many of these former fishermen saw this as an opportunity to learn something new and found their way into new fields of work. The same will happen to these miners. Don't assume that because your father did it, and his did too, that you have to follow in suit. Life is what we make of it. So far what has been made by trump are knee jerk reactions to solvable situations.
Jobs are there, laborers are available, do not blame regulations or immigrants for your lack of a job. Blame yourself.
