Historians in the near future will mark today, March 28, 2017, as the day the extinction of human life on earth began, thanks 2 Donald Trump

Trump has signed orders killing all of Obama's climate change regulations. The EPA is prohibited henceforth from focusing on climate change.

Michael Moore responded to President Trump's latest executive orders with a rather dire warning about the environment.
Moore said Trump's rollback of Obama-era environmental regulations will be looked upon in the future as the beginning of the end for humans on Earth.
"Historians in the near future will mark today, March 28, 2017, as the day the extinction of human life on earth began, thanks 2 Donald Trump," the liberal filmmaker wrote on Twitter.
The remark generated some humorous responses from conservatives, which was noticed by Twitchy.
The main question was how historians could possibly write about human extinction...
Historians are going to survive extinction, eh. https://t.co/NhTKBEXnni

@MMFlint How do the historians survive?

@MMFlint How will one know they are extinct?

And other commenters called out Moore for possibly being overly dramatic...

The only thing preventing human extinction were Barack Obama's executive orders. Sure Libs, go down this special path of Candyland crazy.

@MMFlint exaggerate much?

Moore has been one of the most outspoken liberal critics of Trump's policies.
Last week, he called on Democrats to declare a "national emergency" due to the FBI's investigation of possible coordination between Trump's campaign and Russia.
He also blasted Trump for honoring the widow of a fallen Navy SEAL in an address to Congress, arguing that it showed the "sickness of this man."
