Unless you understand that the entire political structure - that's BOTH parties, in case anyone is wondering - is shackled to our current economic structure and its elite - nothing is going to get fixed. Changing the face of the figurehead will accomplish zero.

Trump promised to his voters, not to "our current economic structure", to eradicate Obama’s environmental legacy. He delivered on his promises to his voters:

Rue, you disappeared for 8 years. Why did you decide to come back now? Your previous post was February 28, 2011. http://fireflyfans.net/mthreaduser.aspx?u=6022 And why are you posting 1kiki's graphics and repeating 1kiki's arguments? Two people, rue/1kiki, repeating the same falsehoods about Democrats being the same as Republicans doesn't make it true.

What kind of an idiotic nutcase would say someone here said: "Trump caused the entire global warming problem all by himself in just the last 2 years." Any names?

They are one and the same. They also share the inability to read a chart - I guess math is hard for them.

I suspect from Kiki's latest posts that her agitation scheme & pimpin' for Donnie 2020 has shifted into high gear.

"Why did you decide to come back now?"

new os new browser new (old) email address new software - which is why I was offline for a few weeks as 1kiki and came back under my new (old) email address as rue

I would have created a new account under 1kiki but was locked in to my old persona by the new (old) email address

"Trump promised to his voters, not to "our current economic structure", to eradicate Obama’s environmental legacy."

Well, THIS is a bit inscrutable.

But what WAS Obama’s environmental legacy, anyway? I see dubya's inadvertent contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions (by crashing the economy) - but Obama's? Close to status quo.

You are not even trying. Remember this? Trump’s Paris Agreement withdrawal announcement

Nobody else in the World withdrew from that Agreement. Only Trump. Staying in the Agreement does not magically win the war against climate change, as Obama well knew because the GOP was preventing every change to national policy it can. Trump takes it to the next level, he doesn't even believe there is such a thing as climate change. His withdrawal from the Agreement does guarantee the U.S. government will not be fighting that war. He is a conscientious objector to war, he has a medical deferment because of his bone spurs. Places like California must fight the war without Washington DC help. Or DC money. Trump will not sign a spending bill that includes money to fight climate change.

Paris Agreement

l-2017-5

In December 2015 ...

nearly at the end of two terms in office
Quote:

... Obama signed an executive order confirming the US's adoption of the agreement, but he didn't submit it to Congress for approval. That's how Trump is able to "cancel" the US's commitment to the accord.
So Obama didn't REALLY commit the US to the accord. 'Cause, yanno - executive order.

Congress is still controlled by Koch puppets. Climate deniers.

So are you guys and gals enjoying the time you have left yet, or are you still obsessing over things which you have no control over?
