ABC News' David Muir Reports Trump Has Abandoned the Power to 'Regulate Climate' (and We Might All DIE)

The Environmental Protection Agency has repealed a previous ruling on emissions, and of course the media is falling in line with the Democrats' desired spin.

CNN's headline says that Trump has dealt a "deadly blow to EPA's ability to regulate pollution":

The Trump administration delivered a deadly blow to longstanding US climate policy on Thursday, finalizing rules that revoke the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate climate pollution.
First issued in 2009, the endangerment finding determined that six greenhouse gases could be categorized as dangerous to human health under the Clean Air Act. It has underpinned the EPA’s authority to limit planet-warming pollution from the oil and gas industry, power plants and vehicles since the Obama administration and is considered the federal government’s most powerful tool to tackle climate pollution and the country’s contribution to the global crisis.

Is it a "deadly blow" to "climate policy," or a deadly blow to humanity? We're guessing it's the former. How did the nation ever survive before the EPA?

Barack Obama and Al Gore aren't happy that one of their legacies has been dismantled:

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can…

The Trump Administration is once again trying to deny science and reality – this time, by throwing out the well-established research connecting the climate crisis to public health.

While the Trump Administration can try to ignore the climate crisis, it’s painfully clear that the…

What an incredibly stupid analysis.

Trump didn’t “repeal US power to regulate climate” he repealed the fraudulent made-up finding that gave EPA power to do Congress’s job to set climate regs.

If Dems want to make energy more expensive, they should have to vote for it. https://t.co/F0LU3vgyDn

Once again, the media spin is sounding indistinguishable from the talking points the Democrats are putting out.

Guys like him are why we cheer when "journalists" are fired.

They make it hard not to, right?

Wait, I thought the arctic was supposed to be melted like 10 years ago. Instead we're in the third consecutive year of accumulation.

Yay!

Let's celebrate our climate death, because the government won't regulate climate anymore! https://t.co/JHz6jQV4ln

Then again, these are the same Dems and media who insisted we'd already be dead from the repeal of net neutrality, pulling out of the Iran deal, not to mention the first round of Trump tax cuts.

Wait a minute! He had the power to “regulate climate” and he didn’t do anything to stop that cold spell we just had?! 🫤

Are we supposed to believe that Trump had the power to "regulate climate" and yet won't yield that against Democrats and the "fake news" media? Unbelievable!
