I damned sure hope so
Trump’s second term will devastate the US climate agenda
One of the best things about America is that everyone is entitled to their own opinions. However, what happens when an incoming leader has an opinion so ill-informed that it threatens national security, economic stability, millions of new jobs, public health and the safety of virtually every American?
We’re about to find out, because voters have elected Donald Trump as the next president.
How dare you stupid voters ignore your betters!
Five months ago, 78 percent of Americans polled by the University of Chicago said climate change is real, including 62 percent of Republicans. More than eight in 10 said they had experienced an extreme climate event. Of those, 68 percent said it was an important issue in the election, and 53 percent wanted the next president to reduce global warming emissions.
But by Nov. 5, those priorities had been eclipsed by other issues — perhaps the worry that Haitian migrants were eating family pets in Ohio.
Now, the man about to take charge of the world’s biggest carbon-fuel producer and second-biggest source of carbon emissions thinks climate change is a “hoax” and climate scientists are “alarmists.”
It’s easy to say you care in theory (of course, I say that climate change, really, global warming is happening, just not that it is mostly/solely caused by Mankind), but, in practice that care dies when stacked against real issues.
If people want to do something, as I always say, let them do something in their own lives, rather than getting government to force compliance. I’ve delved into this so many times I don’t feel like repeating myself. Go spend your own money on climate cult stuff. Oh, and this opinion piece was by “William S. Becker is executive director of the Presidential Climate Action Project and a former senior official at the U.S. Department of Energy.” So, he has a vested interest in keeping the government spending money and forcing citizens to comply.

Of course it’s real. Everyone knows that.
But the question is wrong. It should be…
Given that the climate has been changing since day 1, do you believe that man kind is causing it, and if you do, do you think we need to fight the change by giving up automobiles, cows and heating our homes with petroleum products?
