I guess they are fighting to keep some shred of Obama Legacy in tact after President Trump has almost razed all of it, even if what they save is completely insignificant, not having any future impact and despite how much it will cost the American tax payers.
Democrats Vow To Fight Trump On Climate Regs, The Effects Of Which Are āToo Small To Measureā For CO2
"Obama administration officials also gave California the authority to set its own auto emissions standards, which many other states now follow. Trump is expected to freeze auto standards at 2020 levels and take away Californiaās authority on the matter as well. Democrats and California Gov. Jerry Brown have vowed to fight any rollback of climate regulations on the auto industry.
But with billions of dollars on the line, what effect do Obama-era regulations actually have on the climate? The answer: likely nothing."
The New York Times obtained a draft of the Trump administrationās proposal that shows rolling back Obama-era fuel economy rules would only increase global average temperature ā3/1,000ths of a degree Celsiusā by the end of the century."
Oh, the HORROR!
"Repealing the Obama-era standards would have an effect on the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere thatās ātoo small to measure in practice,ā according to the draft proposal. Officials estimate āan 8/10,000th of a percentage increaseā in CO2 concentrations by 2100. The Obama administrationās own regulatory analysis made similar findings in regard to stricter fuel economy standardsā effects on Earthās climate."
LOL
