How Did Donald Trump's Impact On The Environment

To preface this assignment, I shall explain what it is. The assignment is meant to delve into a recent issue covered by the media, how the media has covered it and the opinion of the public generated on the topic. The topic I have chosen is about Donald Trump and his impact on the environment, his beliefs, the reaction by the public and the how well this very important topic has been covered by the media. The topic will also cover his ideas during his campaign in the Presidential Election and what he has done since he has become the President. One must keep in mind that any immediate changes that have been done was not done by Donald Trump alone, but also the Government of the United States as the bill would have had to have been written and
To start with, I will go in to the current beliefs and ideologies of Donald Trump, his Head of the Environmental Protection Agency Edward Scott Pruitt, his Vice President Mike Pence, and other important members of the Trump Government.
During the campaign, Trump barely touched on the topic of environment conservation, which naturally brought up concerns with the voters.

He is currently in legal battles against the EPA for regulations on greenhouse gases. In a 2016 opinion article, Mr. Pruitt suggested that the debate over global warming "is far from settled" and he claimed that "scientists continue to disagree about the degree and extent of global warming and its connection to the actions of mankind." He actually disagrees with the fundamental mission of the EPA, which is to be solely concerned with the environment and human health. He has argued that the federal government should play a lesser role in environmental protection, and that primary control should be given to the states. This is wrong-headed. Putting West Virginia in charge of its coal industry or Texas in charge of its oil industry would lead to horrific environmental damage not just there, but in neighboring states downwind and downstream. Nearly 800 former EPA staff urged the senate in a letter to reject Pruitt saying he has shown no interest in enforcing environmental
