New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) said Monday he will sue the Trump administration over its decision to repeal the Clean Power Plan climate regulation.

“By seeking to repeal the Clean Power Plan — especially without any credible commitment to replacing it — the Trump administration’s campaign of climate change denial continues, once again putting industry special interests ahead of New Yorkers’ and all Americans’ safety, health, and the environment,” Schneiderman said in a statement.

“The Trump administration’s persistent and indefensible denial of climate change — and their continued assault on actions essential to stemming its increasing devastation — is reprehensible, and I will use every available legal tool to fight their dangerous agenda.”

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt said Monday that he will sign paperwork this week aiming to end the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era rule designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector.

1. I guess the few blue states are going to have to keep suing him

over immigration/deportation, environment, healthcare, birth control, the wall, the climate, etc. He is so mean he takes it out on us any way he can. Fucking bastard. I wish Putin would would end their bro-mance over a private dinner cooked by his own KGB trained chef. No doggy bag needed.
