So, all that hard work done, to curb pollution was for nothing.

A propos de rien:

Unfortunately, if US miners go back to producing as much coal as they would like to produce, consumers are likely to find that other energy sources, including renewables, are going to be cheaper, so the coal will not be bought. Also, Trump is playing into the hands of the Russians, who have only oil and gas to sell to the world. They have very little else to sell that the world wants to buy, so are very reliant on such exports. It is in Russian interests to convince the world that the use of fossil fuels is acceptable. Trump supports this view. No wonder there are rumours that the Russians wanted Trump as president.

Let's hope now that we are leaving the EU we can now ignore their climate change legislation and burn whatever fuel we want.

Mr Trump is following through on his promises. If they get stopped then he is easily able to point at those that stopped them. Far from being stupid I suspect he knows exactly what he is doing.

This climate change rubbish is just that, simply a ruse to raise taxes by self flagellation.

YMB - //Mr Trump is following through on his promises. If they get stopped then he is easily able to point at those that stopped them. //

I agree with the point you make, but it won't fly when everything goes belly up.

I can envisage Mr Trump's whining speeches now - "I wanted to do this, and 'they' stopped me - it's not my fault ..."

But the problem comes when someone asks Mr Trump why he made promises which he didn't have a hope in hell of keeping, in order to get himself elected.

That's a question he may not be able to bombast or whine his way out of answering.

There are none so blind as those who Will not see.

Who is that aimed at?
