Trump's failure to fight climate change is a crime against humanity
CNN ^ | October 18, 2018 | By Jeffrey Sachs

Posted on 10/19/2018 6:52:39 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and others who oppose action to address human-induced climate change should be held accountable for climate crimes against humanity. They are the authors and agents of systematic policies that deny basic human rights to their own citizens and people around the world, including the rights to life, health, and property. These politicians have blood on their hands, and the death toll continues to rise.

Trump and his minions are the loyal servants of the fossil-fuel industry, which fill Republican party campaign coffers. Trump has also stalled the fight against climate change by pulling out of the Paris Agreement. The politicians thereby deprive the people of their lives and property out of profound cynicism, greed, and willful scientific ignorance.

The huge bills for Hurricanes Florence and Michael will now start rolling in: funerals, suffering, sorting through debris, and perhaps $30 billion in losses that could have been reduced dramatically through science-based planning and foresight. The American people are paying a heavy cost for the cynicism and cruelty of politicians in the pocket of the fossil-fuel industry. It is time to hold these reckless politicians to account.

Trump can singlehandedly stop climate change? By doing what exactly?

The U.S. is the only major country meeting the CO2 emissions targets set in Paris. The propagandists want us to think the climate is wounded because the president refused to sign a piece of paper.

If anthropogenic climate even exists, PROVE IT! If the situation is as dire as claimed and it’s not political, then it’s a “crime against humanity” not to clearly and scientifically PROVE (not hypothesis and models based on such) that it’s occurring, and how it can be reversed, before you make claims of intent.

The US is leading the world in reducing CO2 emissions. Apparently it doesn’t count if you don’t have the right attitude.
