Who cares about the planet?


Not me. Is it really that important? I don't think so.

He basically went out there and said "Nobody puts baby in the corner!".

He mentioned the world’s leading polluters so many times, and how they're not held accountable basically. Does this man not realise that the US is the number 2 CO2 polluter after China? I guess in a way he did prove himself correct there, because he pretty much avoided all responsibility.

Does he not realise that there's going to be no renegotiating? Or that China is more than happy to step in, in the place of the US.

And that stuff about sovereignty... The hypocrisy is real.

Now, I understand that Americans have concerns about the way things are going in their country. And want jobs and a strong economy. But becoming isolationist is not going to help you. Neither is attempting to bully the international community so aggressively. Noone is having any of it.

On the other hand, I've always wanted a house by the sea. Now I don't even have to move!

Trump is the king of an army of idiots. Saving a handful of coal jobs, which most analysts say isn't even sustainable due to the low cost of natural gas, just to appease his mentally challenged and hateful base is so effing stupid it's a joke. The future is not only in renewable energy the PRESENT is in renewables. That's where the jobs are! Dammit Trump is such an stupid baby. All of you eff-nuts who stayed home because you believed Hillary was a "beast" because Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly told you she was, YOU are to blame. So many dumbasses in the land. It's maddening!

To be fair, other nations also put plenty of stupid idiots in government. But for the most part, for smaller countries especially, what we do internally is pretty inconsequential globally. The decisions of American voters, though, have consequences far beyond your national borders. Is it fair, maybe not (though you do want to put yourselves in a leadership position), but it is a reality you have to understand and accept.

And also, why should people in the Maldives have to suffer, because of 70 000 American coal miners? You're a developed, First World country. Surely you can figure out other ways to help those people, than putting efforts into something that'll soon be obsolete. Not to mention, possibly putting them to work in a field that is not as dangerous to their health. Who would be a coal miner, if they had alternatives?

It's, indeed, maddening!
