Once again the orange insect is trying to take credit for things President Obama did and that trump opposed and removed..

Donald Trump has been alarmingly aggressive in going after environmental safeguards, relaxing pollution rules in the name of economic progress. The New York Times reported in August that, in the fine print of the Trump administration’s emissions plan, the Republican’s EPA “predicts its plan will see between 470 and 1,400 premature deaths annually by 2030.”

It’s against this backdrop that the president wants to be seen as, as Trump puts it, “an environmentalist.”

He said last week, for example, “When you talk about environmental, I am truly an environmentalist. A lot of people smile when they hear that. But I have the cleanest air, and I’m going to have the cleanest air.” Similarly, Trump promoted a photoshopped global map yesterday, which the president said offered proof that the United States, “by far,” has the “Cleanest Air in the World.” (Why he capitalized those words was unclear.)

Is this true? Alas, no. For one thing, the map pointed to air quality in 2016, which meant Trump was actually bragging about Obama-era air. For another, The New Republic’s Emily Atkin explained that the president didn’t look closely enough at the map he was so proud of.

This map does show that the U.S., on average and as a whole, has acceptable levels of particulate matter pollution every year…. It does not, however, prove that the U.S. has the cleanest air “by far.” The map clearly shows Canada, Australia, and some European countries in the same light color as the U.S., meaning they too have acceptable levels of pollution. […]

Also, America’s air is not healthy everywhere. Contrary to Trump’s claim that “none in [the] U.S.” are affected by air pollution, 38 of the 372 U.S. cities and towns in the WHO database were shown to have particulate matter concentrations above the agency’s recommended level of 10 micrograms – including Fresco, California; Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and Chicago, Illinois.

Wait, it gets a little worse.

Examining the World Health Organization’s data, Emily Atkin’s analysis also found the United States ranks 11th globally on smog pollution.

Obama beats Trump again as most admired American man in poll
Trump is not the first incumbent president not to be named most-admired man: Richard Nixon and George W Bush missed out in years of poor approval ratings

you should file this little tidbit about americas most admired and view it each month as the orange mist begins to overwhelm you...

Having gone through the recent forest fire calamities in the western US this past summer, I have a few comments. We had fires here in Colorado that were nasty but nowhere as bad as those that CA endured. What we got was smoke from half of the Western US here in the Front Range of the Rockies. I live about 10 miles crow fly from the front range and there were days on end we couldn't see a trace of the mountains. Have never seen anything remotely like that from smokestacks or tail pipes or electricity generating plants using coal. Or anything else with the exception of a local forest fire. I frankly am not concerned about the influence of mankind on smog. Mother Nature can do more in 24 hours than mankind can do in 24 years. I am tired of hearing all the whining and squawking about something that nothing can be done about.
