After three years in office, the Trump administration is reversing more than 100 major climate and environmental rules that it's deemed burdensome to the fossil fuel industry, even as climate change accelerates.

Analysts say many of the administration's rollbacks could increase emissions and lead to thousands of additional deaths from bad air quality.

Andrew Wheeler, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency , speaks during a Senate Environment and Public Works Committee hearing, May 20, 2020 on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.will continue to weaken environmental regulations on industries if re-elected for a second term in November, while working to complete Superfund cleanup projects, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator Andrew Wheeler.

The Trump administration in a second term would establish a cost-benefit analysis of any new regulation and expand the use of "science transparency" in order to justify the science behind implementing new regulations,with The Wall Street Journal. The EPA also plans to continue working on cleanup efforts at Superfund sites that have gotten delayed.

"We need to make sure we are speaking to people where they live and we're addressing the problems they see on a daily basis," Wheeler told The Journal.

LeChatNoire4 I’m already getting brown water out of my tap.

TRUMP 2020!!!👍👍 time for the rest of the world (China, India, Philippines, Taiwan, Mexico...etc) to stop polluting!! Stop handcuffing America with these endless regulations until the rest of the world does its part!

Good!! It makes sense to reduce and eliminate these endless regulations that only hamper American businesses. The tree huggers never go after the 3rd world countries openly polluting the World everyday!!

Trump is prioritizing you fool !

Read the article before commenting : “The Obama-Biden administration only focused on climate change at the expense of the communities here in the United States and the expense of reducing pollution where people live,” Wheeler said. Rolling back superfluous regs and red tape.

Green energy will create more jobs in the long run. Everyone working on rigs could get a job easy

Vote for Biden!

Yup

Why aren’t you focused on the clean up he is doing which previous administrations tossed to the side. You guys at this channel are no better than the rest of the fake media outlets.

What a discrace. trump and people like him should be gathered up in a experiment of sustainability.

Why wouldn't they change their name to 'EKA - Environment Killing Agency'?

Good!!!!!

Good - These dopey 'feel good' pandering type regs have been killing America.

EPA What a joke the EPA has become.

SquawkStreet i Of course, how else can Trump promise more jobs & it won't be just environmental regs. This will be the only way to do it without more borrowing. Unfortunately the costs will be there , just hidden, at least for a while & for next presidents to deal with.

Environment is the same as it was under Obama stop ur delusions.

Deep state!

Nobody cares

He already did

what degree of air and water pollution will satisfy these people? How many cancer clusters before they’re like “oh wait maybe this is bad?”

good more jobs , less wildfires

Another reason to ensure Trump is defeated.

I guess killing people wasn’t enough. Gotta kill the environment too
