Trump has pulled out of World Health Organization and Paris Climate agreement.


Good job Mr President.

[tacnet]

Two of the biggest existential threats to humanity right now are another pandemic and global warming and Trump has just turned his back on both of them

[BrasSmonkey]

GOOD!

[Dorman]

Who is surprised he did it last time too.

During the pandemic I used to check the WHO site every day to see where Covid is causing more infections and deaths by country they had a neat information.

Both of those were waste of money and not what we need

He is a conservative at heart not a liberal woke lunatic.
He does not buy into the liberal woke mentality, thank god.

I really dont get how people can think global warming is just some liberal woke thing

Prior to 2015, there was no question that human emissions were driving global warming. That's why, in that same year, almost every country on earth signed up to the Paris Climate Agreement. It was a major achievement. They looked at the science and, for the first time in human history, the entire world agreed to act together regardless of geo political differences

Then along came Trump in 2016 and, without even looking at the science and with no evidence whatsoever, declared it all a liberal woke scam and amazingly people prefer to believe Trump over the science

There's only 4 countries in the world now who have NOT ratified the agreement. Iran, Libya, Yemen ........ and now the USA. The entire rest of the world is looking on in horror and wondering what the hell is going on

Trump said "Drill baby drill" he means it, we need to be exporting oil and making our industries competitive with cheaper oil and gas. Screw this climate change theory holding us back form being a manufacturing country again.

Put it this way, the global demand for oil is slowing down as more and more countries are switching to renewable energy.

China is setting itself up to be the world's leading manufacturer of renewable energy technology (batteries, solar panels etc) whereas Trump wants to go back to producing more oil even though the world doesn't need it

In fact this year, the global supply is expected to outstrip demand for only the 3rd time in recent history (after the 2020 pandemic shutdown and the 1998 oil price crash)

America is going down the wrong road and China is going to come out on top

For practical purposes how will this impact our day to day life, that is what you need to ask.
