You are so very wrong. I'ts sad really that so many of you blame President Trump for every thing. It's pathetic actually.
If Trump didn’t call climate change “a hoax” or Tweet tweets like this one: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive.” If Trump hadn’t called global warming “nonexistent “. If he hadn’t destroyed regulations created to help save our environment, maybe people would stop naming him as a huge problem.

More sad that you are unaware of the damage he’s doing. Or is there something positive Trump has done to help that the rest of us are unaware of.
th e climate has been changing since the beginning of time. its a natural consequence to life. people and animals live on this planet. i don't understand the uproar and outrage as usual directed at President Trump.
Trump pulled this country out of the Paris accords. This was an agreement signed by over 180 countries and the EU to work on eliminating global warming.

It’s too early to know whether or not this plan will make a difference but for one of the biggest contributors of global emissions , the United States, for Trump to pull this country out, yes, he will bear some of the responsibility for negative climate change.

You didn’t answer what is this president doing to make a positive difference for future generations?

From the above link:

"Trump's vow to rip up environmental rules has been overwhelmed by an even more powerful force: the free market. Coal just can't keep up with dirt-cheap natural gas and increasingly affordable renewables.

"It's hard to see any scenario where coal rebounds," said Joe Aldina, manager of coal research at S&P Global Platts Analytics.

Approximately 15% of America's coal fleet has been retired since 2017, the year Trump took office, according to Platts."

The market is speaking, but who is listening?

FPL has thousands of solar panels for power. JEA demolished the towers for the Northside generating station. (That was cool to watch, especially since my brother was involved in its construction eons ago. I was watching it rise from our property when I was a tiny girl). And even south Georgia pecan farmers and those who own chicken houses are jumping to solar panels and natural gas.

That's the real US CLIMATE STRIKE.

But I'm still the winner! They lied! They cheated! They stole the election!

And how is most natural gas obtained?

Trump has been gradually eliminating important EPA regs and guaranteeing that our air will be polluted, water poisoned . Measures that can protect the atmosphere and prevent climate change are being deleted.
You should read about how rapid climate change is caused by people and so called progress.

Fracking. It's all around me. Michigan has the most natural gas in the nation.

Not all natural gas is extracted by fracking. I had houses built in the late 1800s/early 1900s with natural gas lighting/heating/cooking in them. I don't think fracking was around back then. Besides that, it's a much better alternative to coal. And the rate of use of solar panels by utility companies and private individuals is almost astonishing. I'll take pics when we go see Papa for Thanksgiving.

Fracking began in the 1860's
