Trump's moving forward with his shit. he's removing restrictions on Coal and a host of other shit. bye bye, Climate Action Plan
Quote:
President Barack Obama’s Climate Action Plan proposed a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. It included preserving forests, encouraging the use of alternate fuels, and increased study of climate change. The plan was first established in 2008 and updated every two years since.[1]
The plan would support conservation of land and water resources and developing actionable climate science, and to encourage other countries to take action to address climate change, including reducing deforestation and lowering subsidies that increase use of fossil fuels.
White House staff members who were directly tasked with implementation of the plan include Heather Zichal and Michelle Patron.
On the first day of the presidency of Donald Trump, the White House website announced that The Climate Action Plan would be eliminated, stating it is 'harmful and unnecessary'.

I think the difference between Trump and establishment Republicans is that establishment Republicans help make their wealthy donors even wealthier, while Trump seems to want to make all wealthy people wealthier.
I don't see him doing anything for the middle class yet.

Inhofe Report Exposes Environmental Groups as ‘Massive Democratic Political Machines’
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, today released an updated comprehensive investigation into the financial and political activities employed by charitable and environmental organizations claiming to be non-partisan. [See today’s updated full report: Political Activity of Environmental Groups and their Supporting Foundations - Previously in 2004 Senator Inhofe released the original report on environmental group funding. See: INHOFE RELEASES DETAILED REPORT ON ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP POLITICAL FUNDRAISING – October 5, 2004]
“Campaigns to ‘save the cuddly animals’ or ‘protect the ancient forests’ are really disguised efforts to raise money for Democratic political campaigns,” Senator Inhofe said during a floor speech today presenting the new report. “Environmental organizations have become experts at duplicitous activity, skirting laws up to the edge of illegality, and burying their political activities under the guise of non-profit environmental improvement.
“Take this ad for example, displayed on the League of Conservation Voters, or LCV, website. This is LCV’s standard text used to raise money for the nonprofit organization. In turn, LCV takes these donations, given to ‘save the environment’ and uses them to fund ads for Democratic Candidates such as Ben Lujan from New Mexico. LCV, similar to other groups I’ll highlight later, disguises itself as an environmental group dedicated to saving the environment, yet, as shown by this political ad, it is simply an extension of the Democratic political party.
“What we find now is the fleecing of the American public's pocketbooks by the environmental movement for their political gain. We also find exhausting litigation, instigation of false claims, misleading science, and scare tactics to fool Americans into believing disastrous environmental scenarios that are untrue. Especially in this election year, the American voter should see these groups and their many affiliate organizations as they are: the newest insidious conspiracy of political action committees and perhaps the newest multi-million dollar manipulation of federal election laws.
“As an American citizen concerned about our environment and our country, I’m dismayed and saddened by this deception. If these groups actually used the hundreds of millions of dollars they raise for actual environmental improvement, just think how many whales and forests we could save. These wolves should be seen for what they really are: massive democratic political machines, disguised as environmental causes.”

Liberalism’s Imaginary Enemies In Paris, it’s easier to battle a climate crisis than confront jihadists on the streets. By Bret Stephens
Little children have imaginary friends. Modern liberalism has imaginary enemies. Hunger in America is an imaginary enemy. Liberal advocacy groups routinely claim that one in seven Americans is hungry—in a country where the poorest counties have the highest rates of obesity. The statistic is a preposterous extrapolation from a dubious Agriculture Department measure of “food insecurity.” But the line gives those advocacy groups a reason to exist while feeding the liberal narrative of America as a savage society of haves and have nots. The campus-rape epidemic—in which one in five female college students is said to be the victim of sexual assault—is an imaginary enemy. Never mind the debunked rape scandals at Duke and the University of Virginia, or the soon-to-be-debunked case at the heart of “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary about an alleged sexual assault at Harvard Law School. The real question is: If modern campuses were really zones of mass predation—Congo on the quad—why would intelligent young women even think of attending a coeducational school? They do because there is no epidemic. But the campus-rape narrative sustains liberal fictions of a never-ending war on women. Institutionalized racism is an imaginary enemy. Somehow we’re supposed to believe that the same college administrators who have made a religion of diversity are really the second coming of Strom Thurmond. Somehow we’re supposed to believe that twice electing a black president is evidence of our racial incorrigibility. We’re supposed to believe this anyway because the future of liberal ra************************m—from affirmative action to diversity quotas to slavery reparations—requires periodic sightings of the ghosts of a racist past. I mention these examples by way of preface to the climate-change summit that began this week in Paris. But first notice a pattern. Dramatic crises—for which evidence tends to be anecdotal, subjective, invisible, tendentious and sometimes fabricated—are trumpeted on the basis of incompetently designed studies, poorly understood statistics, or semantic legerdemain. Food insecurity is not remotely the same as hunger. An abusive cop does not equal a bigoted police department. An unwanted kiss or touch is not the same as sexual assault, at least if the word assault is to mean anything. Yet bogus studies and statistics survive because the cottage industries of compassion need them to be believed, and because mindless repetition has a way of making things nearly true, and because dramatic crises require drastic and all-encompassing solutions. Besides, the thinking goes, falsehood and exaggeration can serve a purpose if it induces virtuous behavior. The more afraid we are of the shadow of racism, the more conscious we might become of our own unsuspected biases. And so to Paris. I’m not the first to notice the incongruity of this huge gathering of world leaders meeting to combat a notional enemy in the same place where a real enemy just inflicted so much mortal damage. Then again, it’s also appropriate, since reality-substitution is how modern liberalism conducts political business. What is the central liberal project of the 21st century, if not to persuade people that climate change represents an infinitely greater threat to human civilization than the barbarians—sorry, violent extremists—of Mosul and Molenbeek? Why overreact to a few hundred deaths today when hundreds of thousands will be dead in a century or two if we fail to act now? Here again the same dishonest pattern is at work. The semantic trick in the phrase “climate change”—allowing every climate anomaly to serve as further proof of the overall theory. The hysteria generated by an imperceptible temperature rise of 1.7 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880—as if the trend is bound to continue forever, or is not a product of natural variation, or cannot be mitigated except by drastic policy interventions. The hyping of flimsy studies—melting Himalayan glaciers; vanishing polar ice—to press the political point. The job security and air of self-importance this provides the tens of thousands of people—EPA bureaucrats, wind-turbine manufacturers, litigious climate scientists, NGO gnomes—whose livelihoods depend on a climate crisis. The belief that even if the crisis isn’t quite what it’s cracked up to be, it does us all good to be more mindful about the environment. And, of course, the chance to switch the subject. If your enemy is global jihad, then to defeat it you need military wherewithal, martial talents and political will. If your enemy is the structure of an energy-intensive global economy, then you need a compelling justification to change it. Climate dystopia can work wonders, provided the jihadists don’t interrupt too often. Here’s a climate prediction for the year 2115: Liberals will still be organizing campaigns against yet another mooted social or environmental crisis. Temperatures will be about the same.

that book is a political one, and not based in any science. the rest of your copypasta largely looks like a load of horse shit as well.
i also googled the author, LOL. His [senator James Inhofe]* campaign has received tons of money from Exxon Mobile and other oil and gas companies. he's recieved almost 500k in funds from that sector. https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00005582

I guess you either didn't comprehend what i said or maybe you just simply didn't bother reading... but U.S. Senator James Inhofe has received lots of funding from oil and gas companies including exxon mobile and devon energy, and therefore should be discounted when he says shit like 'climate change is a hoax'. I'll stick to the data coming from NASA, and other areas of scientific research.

Destroy the Earth. It's a great idea. Not just pollute it... actually fucking destroy it. I'm on the fence about just firing off our nuclear weapons and getting it over with. Maybe they have spaceships to save them, so they'll be alright but we'll be totally fucking dead on a totally fucking dead planet. Hoorah.
I might give hijacking some nuclear codes and end everything serious thought if I had the means. Actually, I might just hold the world hostage. At least when someone who wants to save the planet is in charge we might actually be able to do it.

in reality:
this planet is in a death spiral
we swirl around in the suns magnetic field
drifting further from the center of the galaxy
away from the electric tendril that powers our sun
into dark space, where matter begins to dissolve
after losing its charge
soon the sun will flicker and go out
just like a lightbulb
this has been foretold, and is scientifically accurate
before that, the Earth will die
we are in the last days of our ecosystem
there are forces at work
which cannot be restrained
it is a terminal case of poisoning
air, land and sea systematically stripped of life
intentionally and by negligence
there is no reasonable hope
humanity will die out
there is no mechanism to save this planet.

No. In reality, we are not drifting away from the sun, and long before it 'flickers out' it will become a red giant and completely engulf our orbit. Soon thereafter it will likely become a white dwarf. Also, the sun* is not powered by an 'electric tendril' it's powered by hydrogen fusion.
I also don't know how that makes environmental protection here on earth any less important today given that stuff will happen in about five billion years or so, it sure seems like you've provided us with a logical fallacy.
