    The Trump Administration Has a Multi-Pronged Strategy to Make the Planet Uninhabitable

    If you ever wondered what it would look like for someone to go Jim Jones on the human race, look no further than the United States of America in the Year of Our Lord 2019. People who study this kind of thing believe we have to cut our heat-trapping emissions in half by 2030 to stand a chance of staving off the worst effects of the climate crisis, and avoid the feedback loops that will send the issue beyond our control. Believe it or not, however, the administration of Donald Trump, American president, is not proving particularly helpful in this regard.

    While the Fox News Grandpa has periodic spasms of insanity on Twitter and the White House lawn, the termites of the state his regime has ushered into power are hard at work dismantling regulations aimed at curbing our climate emissions. The latest example arrived Thursday courtesy of the New York Times.

    • Easy and lazy to just shake fingers at everyone else, at the world, shouting "fake, FAKE! I hate you!! ".formed
    • An easier fix would be to convince China to cut their emission by a quarter, as they are 25% of global co2. USA only 12%monNom
    • And incidentally, this whole trade war Trump is stirring up might actually achieve that if manufacturing decreases.monNom

    1. The Permian–Triassic extinction is the most severe extinction event in earth history. This same extinction event that gave rise to Dinosaurs.
    2. Dinosaur extinction is a lie.

    If you aren't aware of either of these facts you're talking out your ass.

    About a month ago we were out seeing my wife's family, and I got in a big conversation with my father in law, as usual, about politics. He hates Obama, hates democrats, and truly believes Fox News shows "the other side of the story (as truth)."

    We got to talking about global warming; he pretty much believes that man has nothing to do with it simply by telling me that there's more ice than ever before in Antarctica (thus it isn't melting, those global warming isn't really happening.)

    Luckily Vice News on HBO did an entire episode after that about the impacts on Antarctica. It was great to learn how the deniers skew facts about sea ice vs land ice - exactly what my father-in-law is falling for. Sea ice is cyclical. There's more in winter months formed from water already in the ocean. There's less when it melts, but there's no change in water volume for sea ice. Land ice that's melting, on the other hand, directly impacts the volume because it's water that wasn't in the ocean at first, but gets added it.

    That's pretty much 3rd grade science at work there in terms of understanding what happens when you add more ice/water to water that was already there. So it's really frustrating and almost offensive to see it be politicized the way it is, especially by people who don't benefit in any direct way from the policies or stances their elected leaders take to deny what's happening.

    And I'll even say this: let's say man doesn't have anything to do with it. It's just the global environment. The outcome is the same: water levels rise, coastlines change, populations are displaced, resources are affected, and people have to scramble to solve a likely unsolvable problem.

    What would it hurt to think about how we'd tackle that problem? What would it hurt to hypothesize how the geography of Florida would change if ocean level rise gets bad in 20-30 years? What would it hurt to develop an action plan to deal with those affects?
