Trump's Negative Impact on the Environment

Nations around the world are deeply concerned and watching carefully the environmental actions and decisions that have been taken by the United States President. Mr. Trump has publicly acknowledged his intention to destroy the environmental gains and legacy left by former President Barack Obama. This reckless and irresponsible behavior is causing panic not only around the world but also here in the United States.

Mr. Trump signed a sweeping executive order aimed at destroying efforts by by the previous administration to combat global warming and climate change. The president has clearly stated that our nation does not have to choose between environmental protection and economic development. What this individual is forgetting is that by his actions he is literally destroying the lives of future generations.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is being crippled by the President. Its ability to combat climate changed has been taken away by limiting the agency's work on reducing global warming. Mr. Trump has also proposed budget cuts to the agency by almost a third and as a result burying Obama-era climate protections. Many States, including the State of California is watching carefully how this "public enemy number one of the world" will continue to dismantle environmental protection laws.

Scientific evidence has proven the reality of climate change and the potential harm to our children and grand-children if continue the path of "progress" and disregard the ultimate consequences of a hotter world. Let us be brave and protect future generations by electing government officials who are sensitive to the needs of our planet and protect our world by passing laws that will reduce carbon dioxide, methane gas, and other harmful chemicals.
