I wondered about that myself. Either he's incapable of prioritizing his concerns or he doesn't really believe that the world will come to an end, at least not real soon.



Just putting the blame where it belongs. People in a position to do something are doing nothing, or worse.

Trump to name climate change skeptic as adviser on emerging technologies

That dude needs a nose hair trimmer.

Climate change skeptics run the Trump administration
Agencies including the USDA, CIA, DHS and HUD have leaders who have expressed sentiments at odds with the warnings of the government's own climate researchers.

Huh.

Unbridled CO2 emissions have been going on since ... well, the Industrial Revolution ... and our past actions have put us on an irreversible path to doom, which NOBODY could do ANYTHING about even if they wanted to ... and yet you blame this all on Trump?

That's seriously stupid. Not only that, it keeps you from getting to the heart of who REALLY is at fault. I mean, not that accurate blame-laying makes any difference at this point (according to you) but I would think that you'd want to understand the REAL drivers of our rush to suicide, if only for bragging rights and intellectual honesty.

But then, look who I'm posting to! Intellectual honesty??? ha!

Oh? Not just Trump?

You mean .. Trump and his appointees? If that's what you mean, that's just as stupid.

Trump Wins 2018 "Rubber Dodo Award" For Biggest Contribution To Trashing America's Natural Heritage

rd-for-biggest-contribution-to-trashing-americas-natural-heritage/?fbclid=IwAR3PujVtmS8JuXYJPtY_voH66qLZiADFhmD_C781kGADTAJQW4A3UTj8Gho


So, what has he done to deserve the award? Where to begin?

The CBD lists the slashing of more than 2 million acres from the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah, opening up Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve to drilling after the Obama administration expanded protections to make it off-limits, and ramping up offshore drilling in most coastal states (though Florida, home of his Mar-a-Lago golf club, is strangely exempt).

His dubious ability to appoint leaders to the various US agencies designed to protect the environment also came under fire. From coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler as head of the Environmental Protection Agency (Trump’s previous appointment, Scott Pruitt, famously resigned due to numerous scandals), to gas and oil lobbyist David Bernhardt leading the Department of the Interior (his predecessor Ryan Zinke, also resigned after numerous “ethics investigations"), and ardent Endangered Species Act opponent Susan Combs heading up its Wildlife and Parks department.

They also listed his anti-science stance, his climate change denying (or inability to even understand it), his attempts to repeal long-standing wildlife protections, from the Endangered Species Act to removing wolf protections in all 48 contiguous states, increasing logging on public lands, relaxing existing rules on air pollution, clean water, coal emissions, fuel emissions, methane emissions, and attempting to silence scientific research.

“Trump’s greed and ignorance know no bounds, and it’s having a profound effect on the natural world,” Suckling said.

well, who DO you blame?

Everyone in the oil, coal, and gas industries?

GM, for killing the trolley and forcing everyone to drive cars, creating the "suburban" footprint and making subsequent efficient mass transit impossible?

Manufacturers and advertisers, for promoting mass consumption in the pursuit of ever more profit?

Banks specifically for lending out make-believe money but expecting real returns, imposing an "endless growth" mandate on a finite world?

Our military, for being the largest single user of energy in an immoral quest for economic extraction from the world?

Everyone in general for being stupid enough to go along with the plans of madmen?

I mean, since you seem incapable of even explaining your own thoughts I've certainly given you a lot of options to choose from!
