Global warming began a very long time ago, and has since caused many environmental issues, one of them being the death of coral reefs. -

Trump´s New Budget Cuts EPA Spending
President Trump´s 2018 budget plan will cut EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) spending by one third - leaving the air dirtier, and oceans warmer; the effect? There are many, but one of them includes more coral reef deaths. -
Trump May Demolish the Clean Power Plan
Trump wants to remove "unnecessary burdens" from the clean power plan, so that energy production can be continued. This energy production is the main contributor to global warming. -
Scott Pruitt Denies the Existence of Climate Change
Earlier this year, EPA chief Scott Pruitt full on denies the existence of climate change, and says that if the Earth were to be warming up, it's not because of too much carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.
