Trump rescinds Obama's policy on protecting oceans

Source: The Hill




BY TIMOTHY CAMA - 06/20/18 10:47 AM EDT

President Trump is repealing a controversial executive order drafted by former President Barack Obama that was meant to protect the oceans bordering the United States and the Great Lakes.

In his own executive order signed late Tuesday, Trump put a new emphasis on the industries that use oceans, particularly oil and natural gas drilling, while also mentioning environmental stewardship.

“Ocean industries employ millions of Americans and support a strong national economy,” the new order states, mentioning energy production, the military, freight transportation and other industries.

“This order maintains and enhances these and other benefits to the Nation through improved public access to marine data and information, efficient interagency coordination on ocean-related matters, and engagement with marine industries, the science and technology community, and other ocean stakeholders,” it states.

Chaos is Trump's friend. Some might even call it a demonic devotion to chaos.

If calm, cold logic, supported with evidence worked, we would not have our problem. All we can do is beat them in the elections.

I learned that at Trump University and Betty DeVos's public school science agenda confirmed it.

So the babysitters had to give him something to calm him. Anything to undue Obama might work for 30 mins.

Eliminating the previous confederate name, and Obama had a scientific discovery named for him that was announced yesterday too.
