Midknight Review -- new and revised: Today, we can celebrate the end of the Paris Climate Legacy platform

Today, we can celebrate the end of the Paris Climate Legacy platform, yet, after two years of Trump, the United States still leads the world as to emission reductions. Give credit to Obama? Whatever. The point is this: Trump is equally concerned about the environment, just not on the backs of the working middle class.

Obama wanted the Clean Power Plan to be the centerpiece of his climate agenda, including meeting Paris climate accord goals.
Trump ruined Obama’s plans in 2017, and now is going even further.
EPA’s new rule is more lenient, but is expected to still cut emissions.

The Trump Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began the process of replacing former President Barack Obama’s signature global warming regulation . . . .
. . . that was supposed to bring the U.S. into compliance with the Paris climate accord.
But those plans were dashed when President Donald Trump announced he would withdraw from the Paris accord in 2017, and now, Obama’s signature climate regulation is being rolled back.
Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler proposed Tuesday the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Plan, a more lenient regulatory scheme to cut carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants.
“Between ACE, the recently proposed rollback of the Obama fuel economy standards known as CAFE, and the US pullout from the Paris climate agreement, the Obama climate legacy has been erased by President Trump,” Trump transition team member Steve Milloy told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
