Trump dismantling US climate efforts as warnings grow dire
ABCNews ^ | Nov. 28, 2018 | ellen knickmeyer, AP

President Donald Trump has moved steadily to dismantle Obama administration efforts to rein in coal, oil and gas emissions, even as warnings grow — from his own administration and others — about the devastating impact of climate change on the U.S. economy as well as the Earth.

Trump has dismissed his administration's warnings about the impact of climate change, including a forecast released Friday that it could lead to economic losses of hundreds of billions of dollars a year by the end of the century.

Very good, I have been reading that we are entering into an ice age due to something called a super-solar minimum. So we need to increase the development of our natural resources, especially coal and gas. If the cold becomes extreme enough, we may need to build a lot of green houses to grow food to feed our people, and that is going to require a lot of fuel.

Yeah, I can see those dire warnings everywhere. The weather gets hot and then cold again at inconvenient times. This has certainly never happened before.

If the sun doesn’t start increasing activity in a big way, folks are going to be burning a whole lot of coal, oil and gas to stay warm.

When we’re in the middle of the Solar Grand Minimum in a few decades, the next mini ice age, our kids and grandkids will be soooooooo thankful for all the energy we’ll have to keep warm.

Thank you President Trump!

hundreds of billions of dollars a year by the end of the century

Well let's say $500 billion.

Right now the economy is $20 trillion.

So if we take the estimated losses by the end of the century, and apply them to *today's* economy -- we get 2.5%.

Now, let's apply the sluggish Omoeba growth rate, to the US economy, 2% a year... AND let's call it 2020, not 2018.

By the rule of 72, divide the number 72 by the % growth rate to get the # of years to double. 72/2 = 36. So the economy will have doubled twice, then gone up 50% more than THAT, by the end of the century.

20 trillion x2 (once) x2 (twice) x 1.5 (that last 50%) = 20 trillion x 4 x 1.5 = 120 trillion.

500, 000, 000, 000 / 120, 000, 000, 000, 000\
= 500 / 120, 000
= 5 / 1200
= 5 / 12 * 1 / 100
= 5/12 of 1% of the economy.

BFD.

And AGW warming / climate change is a lifetime crock of sh*t anyway.

Screw 'em.

With the business end of a Marlin.

More crap from the All Bullshit Channel. Nobody is going to “dismantle” all the environmental protection programs. Modify those that work; get rid of those that don’t and are a waste of taxpayers money.

Since CO2 is a natural product of breathing, you can’t legislate against it UNLESS YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT AND INSANE, OR JUST PURELY A GREEDY HUCKSTER LIKE AL GORE (a very rich huckster Al Gore I might add).

The article and the 13 govt agencies report makes out the US to be the “Simon LeGree” or “Charles Manson” of the anti-environmental movement instead of someone who has taken a look at a lot of unproven voodoo science “models” and extrapolations, unproven hypotheses and Hockey Stick Curves (or is is Horse Hockey sticks?).

If Red China and other 3rd world countries don’t seriously cut down on their own industrial pollution (air and water), then why blame the US for so-called “global warming” esp. since we have made tremendous advances in scientific inventions to make coal burning cleaner and safer, the water much more cleaner than before (I’ve worked on Clean Water and Air Acts cases), the capturing of methane gase from oil wells etc for use in heating, etc.

Nothing will appease the Marxist Leftist Know-Nothings except more fried birds due to solar panels, more bird chop-suey due to windmill blades, more waste from used solar panels to the Solyndra Obama-financed scams re solar panels produced at twice the price they were literally fire-sale priced at by the Obama regime (Solyndra gave Obama a lot of money for his election campaigns. Sounds like “Fake Industry Illegal Campaign Contributions SCAM at the taxpayers expense criminal conspiracy” to me.

If the global situation is so dire, why are India and China, the world's two biggest polluters, exempt from the regulations?

Because it's all POLITICAL.

When have the warnings not been dire? What do they mean “grow dire?”

“Trump dismantling US climate efforts as warnings grow dire”

Dire warnings from the same geniuses that told us we’d have beach front property ten years ago. I was counting on it for my retirement.

Anthropomorphic warming will increase the temperature (mostly in areas which there are lots of anthropomorphs) which is a DAMN GOOD THING because the average temp around the planet is going to lower slightly.
