I am not surprised. If the EPA continues to exist, it will just be a placemat. All really important regulations are about to be wiped out. Scary.

Climate change deniers are lazy. There's no convincing them they are wrong, and they won't think for themselves.

We can't remove ALL of the CO2. We need it for life of course. What we need to do is reduce CO2, and other greenhouse gasses like Methane, really, really quickly. Tougher emmission standards and less reliance on fossil fuels are great first steps that lots of progressive countries are doing. The US was well on its way too but I see these very positive first steps about to turn and go backwards now. sad.

No dude, no. No one else should do your homework for you. The evidence is out there already. If you can't get it yourself, then at least read what NASA and NOAA have to say as they have all of the tools and spent all of the time to gather the evidence for you. It is YOUR responsibility to educate yourself.
Here is a good place to start.

If you are certain that NASA and NOAA, and 98% of scientists are wrong (and that oil companies are right), then it doesn't matter what anyone else has to say about it, because you won't believe it. Therefore, no one should waste their time trying to convince you.

Really good point, and something that alot of people don't understand. Here's how I like to phrase it.
Imagine that a litre of gasoline costs $1.00. This includes the oil removed from the ground, refining and transportation and all kinds of other costs. $1.00.
The problem is that there is still another cost that is not included: The cost of the damage to the environment. The burned Gas goes into the air that we breathe, increasing medical costs. Other chemicals in the burned gas cause the warming of the planet, and damage to the ocean (ocean acidification). Etc.
So when we pay $1.00 today for a litre of gas, the true cost of that gas, is charged to us later, in the form of medical expenses and damage to the Earth. We won't pay it maybe, but our kids will.
The idea of a Carbon Tax, is to move the cost of the future damage, to today. By paying a little more, that money can be invested into source of energy that cause less damage, or hopefully no damage, to the earth and future generations. At the same time, we get cleaner air, cleaner water, and a choice when it comes on where we can get our energy.

No dude, not even close. But it doesn't matter now. Trump and his boys will be telling you exactly what you want to hear from now on, and help make gasoline as cheap as possible. You did hear what just happened with Trump, Russia, and the CEO of Exxon, right? Look it up.
