    "Undo the damage"? Of course they will.

    The Republicans consider "climate change" to be a liberal plot to bankrupt the USA. They've NEVER taken it seriously.

    And the evangelical christians consider it one more step towards the rapture.

    Just came here to post about that:

    So we now have a climate change denier in charge of an agency he's already at war with.

    I honestly cannot get my head around the posters here who are still cheering for Trump; do they not live on this planet, do they not have families?

    If the US goes ahead with dismantling the various plans to undo the damage already done to the environment and to rollback on moving to cleaner energy then we're ALL in deep deep trouble. I think people like ourselves who are already adults and in 1st world countries will probably not see the worst of it, but our children and grandchildren will not be so lucky.

    You think the refugee crisis caused by the wars in the Middle East is bad, wait until the sea levels rise and Bangladesh (pop 156.6 million, average height above sea level 33 feet) is half underwater, or parts of India and Pakistan (over 50 degrees celcius last May) become uninhabitable due to extreme heat:

    It is a real stupid move and shows what a real forward thinker The Trump is.....:rolleyes: lets go back to coal lets go back to Victorian times. hell the Chinese are getting out of coal as they know there is no future in it. This is further proof that the Fraud Trump is an idiot and is no businessman/entrepreneur. A real entrepreneur will size up the market and see what will people want or need in a couple of years and then try and corner this market. Eg solar wind renewable technology be a leader in this. No he reckons that an unsustainable finite resource is the way forward:o Instead the Corrupt Trump can only see as far as ahead as his little hands can reach. eg setting up a mortgage company in 2007 :D:D:D:D:D:D:D yeah real visionary

    A lot of green technology is manufactured in China these days, solar panels and the likes. The unfortunate thing is that Trump has an opportunity to help increase the amount of US sustainable energy being produced but is unlikely to do so. Pity as it would help the environment and result it increase in manufacturing.

    Oklahoma is famous for its earthquakes that started when they allowed unrestricted fracking. Even though the earthquakes started after the fracking began the authorities are still denying a connection.

    Trump is also blaming unions for his failure at carrier. I am curious- did he not realise unions existed when he made those promises about keeping jobs? Or you know is he just lashing out because someone was mean to him. Because there is no teacher for Trump to go running to because the mean union man hurt Trump's feelings.

    And, his brownshirt followers are threatening the union head as a result. Reminscent of the woman who accused Trump of child rape and then withdrew her case due to threat she received:https://www.rawstory.com/2016/12/carrier-union-president-receiving-death-threats-after-criticizing-trump/

    So it turns out Trump's lying Tweets about Boeing yesterday dropped the company's share price $1.2bn. How many manufacturing jobs is that going to lose in their facility at small town, blue collar Everett, WA? It's populations is 103,000 and Boeing employee 30,000 there.

    Yeah but he only cares about rust belt communities that voted for him. Most of the successful tech sector and aviation etc areas were not big fans of his.

    While there is truth to that, the optics of the whole thing are absolutely appalling for him from a blue collar worker pov, and as the election showed that is a problem for him because people vote and say the way other people are voting and say stuff for no other reason than other people are voting that way and saying those things.

    Like any politician he puts his largest constituency first. These rust belters as you call them stood by him when the Dems and Reps were trash talking him. Their concerns were not being met. Wages have been declining in America since the 80's and the competition from Mexico is fierce. The talk of Americans being ripped off is very true in that neck of the world. Grand for the Las Vegas, Washington, New York and Orlando the superrich but those communities in middle America have been screwed royally by central government.

    You don't necessarily need the internet to hack something. It is the most common and easiest but you can also physically go to the machines.

    I'm not saying election machines were hacked, just saying you shouldn't mock people on what they know when you know even less than they do.

    Jill Stein said that the machines were hacked by the Russians. She said there were problems with the machines in Wisconsin. Wisconsin's recount has proved otherwise. She is a liar, and anybody who thinks the machines were hacked is also a liar,or an idiot.
