Breaking News: President Trump's overhaul of climate change rules lets states set their own plans. Environmentalists say emissions could rise.

The Trump administration next week plans to formally propose a vast overhaul of climate change regulations that would allow individual states to decide how, or even whether, to curb carbon dioxide emissions from coal plants, according to a summary of the plan and details provided by three people who have seen the full proposal.

The plan would also relax pollution rules for power plants that need upgrades. That, combined with allowing states to set their own rules, creates a serious risk that emissions, which had been falling, could start to rise again, according to environmentalists.

I am all for states rights, but at what cost? Hopefully the environment is not negativity affected. #beinggreenainteasy

Finally some common sense.

Regulating CO2 is just putting a tax on air.

1102-The US never adopted the Kyoto treaty or the Paris agreement, and yet, the USA has cut it's carbon emissions more than any signer of those agreements. Funny, the free market wins again.
