You were warned. Now it begins: The Chicago Tribune reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is working on changes to its Web properties:
The EPA's extensive climate change website now redirects to a page that says "this page is being updated" and that "we are currently updating our website to reflect EPA's priorities under the leadership of President Trump and Administrator Pruitt." It also links to a full archive of how the page used to look on Jan. 19, before Trump's inauguration.

The states are still completely free to impose environmental sanctions as their constituents so desire.
Nope.
It seemed likely, she said, that the Trump administration and its allies in the car industry would attack California’s ability to regulate greenhouse-gas pollution from car tailpipes.
This may sound niche. But if Trump revoked the special federal waiver that gives California this power, it could hinder the ability of the United States to address climate change for decades to come, she said.
On Saturday, The New York Times reported that Scott Pruitt, the new administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, was exploring how to withdraw this waiver from California.

California is hurting all non-California car manufacturers. It's like a trade war, which is supposed to be prevented by our constitution.
California is also crying wolf about cancer. Vague and useless cancer warnings are posted on every business in California and on nearly every product that might be sold in California. I'm not kidding: go to a hotel, and somewhere you'll find posted a notice that the hotel contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer. It's chemphobia, and it gets people used to ignoring cancer warnings.
