Trumpism

y va marquer

Francis gave the U.S. president a copy of his 2015 encyclical calling for urgent, drastic cuts in fossil-fuel emissions after a half-hour meeting in his private study.
“Thank you, thank you,” Trump told Francis as they shook hands after the meeting. “I won’t forget what you said.” Trump has said climate change might be a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese.

Of course there isn't. 🙂

I don't doubt that clown in chief was moved by the pedophile protector in chief. It seems as if Trump is affected by anyone who happens to be the last person in the room to speak. Unfortunately, that person is more often Steve Bannon than the pope.

twitter suspects the Donald is drunk tweeting 😆

He doesn't drink alcohol. Unless he overdosed on soda pop or pills. Wouldn't doubt it.
Family story, had an older brother, Fred Trump Jr., who died of alcoholism. Trump said he learned about the dangers of alcohol from that death.

Today, News reports say he will duck out of Paris Agreement.

Bold Tone

I think the daily show or colbert, (can't remember which one), pointed out that it's worse that he tweets that stuff sober.

He was probably starting to tweet something about: "Despite all the negative press coverage..." when the secret service snatched his phone.

Or he fell asleep.

Fell asleep on the loo I reckon, locked in the bathroom so's nobody could take his phone away.

After one reporter asked Spicer if “people should be concerned that the president posted somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night,” Spicer simply replied, “No.”

"The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant,”

From the gimp who ducks reporters whilst hiding out amongst the bushes, in the dark, on the White House lawn.

It's important to remember that this s*** is not normal.

Unbelievably funny though 😆

It's just bizarre that this administration lies about EVERYTHING, even small insignificant shit like a typo in this case.

I can't believe they've pulled out of the Paris agreement. When China and India are willing to compromise despite the inconvenience to their growth prospects being more severe then you really have to wonder if Americans are now asking themselves whether their the baddies.

The EU have started to pivot towards Asia as well - at the moment I think it's posturing since the differences are still stark but if we have to endure another decade of this, who knows?

Rex

It's stupid on so many levels. Even from a jobs standpoint it is absolutely detrimental to the American economy to push coal over renewable fuel sources.

Coombs

The coal industry isn't even pushing coal. It's oil and natty gas (fracking) that benefit, but coal has a demented poster boy image for the "forgotten ones". Purely political.

Regardless of what the US decide to do, China and the EU will step up their efforts to limit the carbon emissions. There was a G7 meeting in Italy last week where everyone committed to the previously agreed quota and the focus on clean energy. In a way I think there are some clear benefits to the US leaving the Paris agreement. There's no way they can damage it now with their compromises and lobbyism.

Gotta love American capitalism though. No one can think of a single good thing to say about it anymore. Even communistic dictatures appear more reasonable and humane. Scientific facts are almost as unpopular as taxes in the US. No one wants to pay for themselves or do right by others. 4 percent of the world's population lives in the US but they're responsible for 14 percent of all carbon emissions, plus a few extra percent through the Chinese manufacturing that goes straight back to American shores.

There is one nation that's become worse on energy policy—Australia.

This is from our Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-01/frydenberg-says-emissions-scheme-would-punish-generators/8581176

The Government has placed energy security, not power prices, at the centre of its opposition to an Emissions Intensity Scheme (EIS), claiming it would quickly force out coal generators and lead to more instability in the system.

In other words, the argument used to be: renewables aren't cheap enough. Now, it's: renewables are too cheap, dangerously cheap!

It's scary.
