Sen. Markey: Trump’s EO on Gutting Regulations on Carbon Will Only Create ‘Disaster’

‘Today he just basically said he’s going to deny, de-fund and for us, that means a disaster is now possible’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MARKEY: "Yeah, it’s a declaration of war. It’s not an executive order. It basically looks at every one of President Obama’s actions and it tries to strip them off of the books. This is basically an attack on science, on climate, on the clean energy revolution, which has been creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs in our country because of Obama era policies. And so, yeah, this is just another promise that he made to almost take a like approach to new technologies and so this is the battle. We’re going to now basically deal with a guy who will be, refuses to accept the reality that the planet is running a fever, there are no emergency rooms or planets. And we have to engage if preventative care to reduce the temperature before it causes catastrophic consequences, not just for the United States but all across the planets and today he just basically said he’s going to deny, de-fund and for us, that means a disaster is now possible."
