Trump signs order undoing Obama climate change policies
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order rolling back Obama-era rules aimed at curbing climate change.
The Energy Independence Executive Order suspends more than half a dozen measures enacted by the president's predecessor, and boosts fossil fuels. Among the initiatives now rescinded is the Clean Power Plan, which required states to slash carbon emissions. Business groups have praised the Trump administration's move but environmental campaigners have condemned it. Before he signed the order, the president said this would put an end to the "war on coal" and "job-killing regulations". During the campaign, he vowed to pull the US out of the Paris climate deal agreed in December 2015. Details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39415631

Reneging on signed treaty agreements is a grave and potentially very damaging step. It amounts to breach of prromise. If Mr Trump can walk away from the Paris climate change accord just on his own say so, then any president can do this and treaties signed by the USA wont be worth shit.

This also means nobody has the right to claim "breach" from a change of government, nor did they have a right to expect otherwise. There is the problem that anything Trump says is a fart in the wind, but at least everyone knows it, so America will not be deceiving anybody.

Coal mining has been on the decline for years.
Trump claims that killing Obama’s climate legacy will bring back coal jobs. It’s a ruse.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...bs-its-a-ruse/ As Coral Davenport of the New York Times reports Tuesday, although there have been losses in coal mining jobs over the past decade, these were occurring well before Obama enacted his climate change policy in 2015. These job losses, she reports, resulted not from government regulations but from increases in the use of natural gas and other energy alternatives, as well as automation in the coal industry. Thus, one energy economist tells Davenport, even if Trump’s rollback of the Obama policy does result in increased coal production, it may not result in more jobs for out-of-work miners — because these jobs have been mechanized. |

Like all commodities, coal is traded on world markets. Can America produce and sell at a lower price per ton than China? China is the lead producer, with over 40% of the world total. The USA is second biggest, at around 10% of world production. Britain generates about 0.1% of world coal production. Mr Trumps's anti-environment attitude is a perverted form of Keynsian demand management, seeking to increase coal usage; but for America to stay in the coal business she needs to dig the stuff out more cheaply. Otherwise all the extra coal being used will be from other nations. This suggests to me that the outlook for employment in coal mining in the USA is not very good.
