Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump US CO2 emissions fall under Trump, while the world increases #MAGA Anthony Watts / 53 mins ago October 17, 2018 Mike Bastasch at the Daily Caller writes: Greenhouse gas emissions continued to plummet during President Donald Trump’s first year in office, according to new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) data. U.S. greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.7 percent from 2016 levels, according to the EPA. Emissions on a per-capita basis hit a 67-year low last year, federal data shows, and supporters are touting EPA’s data as proof Trump’s agenda is working. EPA’s new data comes on news that, globally, greenhouse gas emissions are set to rise to historic highs by the end of the year, despite nearly 200 countries signing the Paris climate accord. Based on data from more than 8,000 large facilities, EPA found greenhouse gas emissions, mostly carbon dioxide, fell 2.7 percent from 2016 to 2017. Emissions from large power plants fell 4.5 percent from 2016 levels, according to EPA. “Thanks to President Trump’s regulatory reform agenda, the economy is booming, energy production is surging, and we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions from major industrial sources,” EPA acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a statement. Earlier this year, the Energy Information Administration reported that per-capita greenhouse gas emissions hit a 67-year low during Trump’s first year in office. EPA’s new data follows news that, globally, greenhouse gas emissions are set to rise to historic highs by the end of the year, despite nearly 200 countries signing the Paris climate accord. Global greenhouse gas emissions also rose in 2017. China is the main culprit behind rising emissions, but India and other developing countries contribute. However, recent reports have detailed how European countries aren’t on track to meet their own emissions reduction goals. A recent report from the Climate Action Network Europe found that emissions cuts among most European Union members were “ nowhere close enough” to meet the goals of the Paris accord. Trump pledged to withdraw from the Paris accord at the earliest possibility, in 2020. On the flip side, the U.S. led the world in emissions cuts for the ninth time this century, according to the oil giant BP’s annual energy statistics. BP reported that European Union “emissions were also up (1.5%) with just Spain accounting for 44% of the increase. German and French emissions increased 0.1 and 2 percent, respectively, last year, BP reported, while the “UK and Denmark reported the lowest carbon emissions in their history.” Long held up as a poster child for fighting global warming, Germany is on track to miss its 2020 emissions targets. The government will likely instead push its goal of cutting CO2 emissions back to 2030. … A major reason the U.S. has been able to cut emissions is the availability of low-priced natural gas. In the last decade, drillers have been able to use hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling to unlock vast shale gas reserves. Low-priced natural gas has replaced much U.S. coal-fired capacity in recent years, which has in turn lowered emissions. Additions of wind and solar energy have also played a smaller role in reducing emissions. “The Trump Administration has proven that federal regulations are not necessary to drive CO2 reductions,” Wheeler said. “While many around the world are talking about reducing greenhouse gases, the U.S. continues to deliver, and today’s report is further evidence of our action-oriented approach.”

Dennis Hof best known for his role as a legal pimp owning four brothels, and most recently his campaign to be a GOP state assemblyman for the state of Nevada, has died, he was 72 years old.

The Reno Gazette Journal reported on Tuesday that the “bombastic,” legal pimp was confirmed deceased by Nye County Commissioner, John Koenig.

Hof’s campaign manager Chuck Muth posted to Twitter that he could also confirm the reports.

Chuck Muth@ChuckMuth
I just confirmed with Nye County sheriff’s deputy that Dennis Hof passed away this morning. No other details at this point. I’m heading out to Love Ranch Vegas now. Official statement will come once I learn more.

1:37 PM - Oct 16, 2018

Muth told Reno Gazette Journal in an interview that he was contacted by Hof’s assistant, “in tears saying Dennis died and I need you to come out here immediately, I can’t deal with this myself.”

Muth tweeted on Monday night images from what he called Hof’s “birthday party/campaign,” that was held in Pahrump. Guests included Grover Norquist, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and adult film star, Ron Jeremy. Trucker Carlson is said to have called Hof during the event to wish him a happy birthday.

Muth also told the Reno Gazette Journal there was no indication that Hof was unwell at last nights event. There is no word on cause of death, according to Muth’s tweet from 4:10 p.m. eastern, Ron Jeremy discovered Hof’s body this morning when he went to wake for a meeting in Pahrump. He also explained the investigation was “still on going.”

Just arrived on-scene at Love Ranch Vegas. Dennis died quietly in his sleep. Ron Jeremy found him this morning when he went to wake him to go to a meeting in Pahrump. Investigation still going on.

3:10 PM - Oct 16, 2018

The linked article also explains that it’s unclear at this time how Hof’s death will effect the midterm election, though his name will remain on the ballot.

As the News Blender reported in June Hof framed himself as part of the “Trump movement,” saying it was a new breed of politician that has benefited from President Trump’s 2016 victory.
