Donald Trump and Ted Cruz agree on undoing Obama’s climate action work

USA election 2016Trump, Cruz vow to undo Obama environmental work, The Hill,   By Devin Henry – 03/30/16 GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are pledging to undo several Obama administration climate efforts and block future work on global warming if elected this fall.

In responding to a survey from the American Energy Alliance, both candidates said they would undo major Obama-era Environmental Protection Agency rules on clean water and power plant carbon emissions, with Trump saying, “under my administration, all EPA rules will be reviewed.”

 Both candidates said they oppose a carbon tax, a policy Obama has praised but not pushed while president.

“The observed temperature evidence does not support the claims that carbon dioxide is dangerous,” Cruz wrote in his questionnaire.

The two said they would also reassess the Obama administration’s finding that carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases are harmful to the public. That decision is the basis for EPA rule-making on greenhouse gas emissions. …….

Both candidates have previously said they doubt the science behind climate change and have promised to undo what Obama has done on the issue. http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/274671-trump-cruz-vow-to-undo-obama-environmental-work
