Since taking office less than two weeks ago, President Donald J. Trump has made a commitment to rebuild America’s economy, starting with a recent Executive Order authorizing the construction of the Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines.
Predictably, liberals and their radical environmental allies have decried the order, saying that increased oil production within the United States will harm the environment and exacerbate global warming.
Well, if a former aide to President Trump is correct, his next action is likely to enrage liberal environmentalists even more than his decision to approve the pipelines.
According to Myron Ebell, who worked with the Trump administration’s Environmental Protection Agency transition, President Trump was “determined” to reverse President Obama’s global warming agenda, and will pull out of the 2016 Paris climate agreement.
From Fox News:
“I expect Donald Trump to be very assiduous in keeping his promises, despite all of the flack he is going to get from his opponents,” Ebell said, according to London’s The Independent. “He could do it by executive order tomorrow, or he could wait and do it as part of a larger package. There are multiple ways and I have no idea of the timing.”

The U.S. is one of 194 countries who signed the Paris climate agreement in April 2016. The pact aimed to “stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.”
That’s not the only area where Trump will fight back. The president’s decision to nominate Scott Pruitt, former Attorney General of Oklahoma, to head the Environmental Protection Agency sends a clear signal that the administration plans to overhaul the out-of-control agency.
Liberals are so distraught over Trump rolling back the EPA, some are showing up to work openly weeping!
Pruitt has been a staunch critic of the EPA’s regulatory agenda, pledging to roll back many of the rules imposed by the agency that have harmed America’s economy. Liberals have predictably voiced their opposition to Pruitt, but he is expected to be approved by the Senate in the coming weeks.
Would you support President Trump if he decided to pull out of the Paris Agreement? Should the administration realign the priorities of the EPA? Share your thoughts below!
The EPA has been out of control for years. Then there is that junk science called climate change. The climate always changes and it has nothing to do with human activity.
Up until now, the U.S. has prioritized concerns according to PC. We need to repair the infrastructure, bring back jobs, and secure our borders FIRST. Even if climate change is put on the back burner along with alternate energy and other PC concerns , nothing will get appreciably worse in 4-8 years. That is not the case with the aforementioned 3 problems. An analogy would be finding a house on fire, and establishing a coping group for the victims instead of putting out the fire.
Throw Gore and the rest of those idiots into a hole. Climate Hoax…..There is no REAL data to support the whole climate change idea. Their models fail again and again to explain the LACK of TEMP RISE. Maybe, just maybe, they have got it ALL WRONG!!!
I have yet to see a single Eco-extremist walking barefoot, wearing nothing but eco-friendly clothing manufactured by hand, eating only hand-planted hand-harvested food, shipped by horse-drawn wagon…..using no technology whatsoever. When I do, I’ll get their picture and post it!
HYPOCRITS, go home, STFU, the adults are talking now.
MAGA, Trump 2017-2024!!!
Yes I would.
