Donald Trump: America’s Greenest President

By Craig Rucker July 11th, 2019|Environment|20 Comments

America has never been cleaner or greener in the post-industrial revolution era. This week President Trump made a major speech showcasing the good health of America’s environment and gains made on his watch. Both are impressive.

Read the full text of the President’s remarks, the full White House fact sheet on the environment, and commentary by CFACT’s Adam Houser at CFACT.org.

America has the cleanest air and the best drinking water on record. Overall pollution levels are in decline.  As Adam Houser points out, you’d never know it from reading the press coverage.  The Green movement in America has gone astray. 

Left-leaning politicians make futile gestures such as banning plastic bags, water bottles and drinking straws and subsidizing solar panels, electric cars and wind turbines.  None of this improves our environment, and in many circumstances actually hurts it.

In contrast, the Trump Administration has refocused America’s national efforts on genuine conservation work, and this has borne positive results including:......To Read More....

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you very much. Great to have you, and I hope you all had a truly wonderful Independence Day weekend. In spite of the heavy rain — and it was really heavy — we had a remarkable Salute to America on the National Mall. It was incredible, actually. (Applause.)
Standing on the steps of the great Lincoln Memorial and looking out at the crowds — these incredible, big, beautiful crowds, braving the weather — all the way back to the Washington Monument, we celebrated freedom in all of its magnificence while saluting our great military. It was something really special. And I will say this: It was a wonderful day for all Americans. And based on its tremendous success, we’re just making the decision — and I can think we can say we’ve made the decision — to do it again next year, and, maybe we can say, for the foreseeable future. (Applause.)..........To Read More....

White House discusses real environmental solutions, media loses their minds

On Monday, July 8, President Donald Trump held a meeting at the White House to discuss environmental issues and to highlight the efforts his administration has made in addressing them.
This was too much for the mainstream media.

A quick Google search for “Trump environment meeting” delivers an almost never-ending result of scathing headlines:

• “Trump’s environmental claims debunked by CNN’s John Avlon.”
• “Trump Speech on Environment Doesn’t Pass Smell Test with Activists…”
• “The Biggest Lie in Trump’s Environmental Speech Today”
• “Trump touts environment record, green groups scoff”
• “Mother Nature rains on Trumps’ I’m-good-at-the-environment parade”

With headlines like these, you would think the President had poured out toxic waste onto endangered species at the event. So, what did the President dare to discuss that brought on this onslaught of criticism?

He dared to discuss real environmental issues, like red tide, hunting and fishing driving conservation, and EPA reform, instead of walking in step with the claims that climate change will cause the world to end in 12, 20, 30, or however many years the activists have decided lately – I can’t seem to keep up with the revisions of the date of our impending apocalypse.

In fact, it wasn’t until I scrolled halfway down page 3 of this Google search until I found an article that had anything positive to say about the event...........To Read More...
