Anyone who believes that Trump cares AT ALL about coal miners raise your hand.  You must be shopping at the new pot shops.  It's all about money and oil, folks.  Most of the Republican Party is financed and owned by big oil and to some extent by big coal and like good little servants of the almighty dollar the politicians do as they're told.  Trump's dealings with Russia are mostly about oil and he stands to make very large sums of money for using his presidential authority to promote fossil fuels.  It's big oil that runs America and they'll enslave the US to fossil fuels until they squeeze the last dime out.  Leaving a livable environment for our children does not matter to them.  Clean air to breathe, clean water to drink?  If it doesn't make oil magnates more money to get tax breaks on, they don't care.  And I object to the author's referral to people who object to pollution as "environmentalists" as though it was a strange and separate breed.  Climate change affects us ALL.
