Now it seems Mr Trump has completed a full 360 degree turn. In an interview Mr Priebus confirmed climate change denial would remain Mr Trump’s “default position”. Speaking to Fox News, Mr Priebus said: “As far as this issue on climate change – the only thing he was saying after being asked a few questions about it is, look, he'll have an open mind about it but he has his default position, which most of it is a bunch of bunk, but he'll have an open mind and listen to people. I think that’s what he’s saying.” [/QUOTE]

The fact fucking CHINA is more progressive on this issue shows how backwards the GOP and Trump is. America is not only fucking itself hard but the rest of the world and it's future.
Hopefully the office changes the man.
What are even the advantages/motives behind denying climate change??
Gonna watch his approval ratings hit the floor. It's impossible to ignore climate change at this point.
[QUOTE=Flameon;51447515]Hopefully the office changes the man.[/QUOTE] You're being awfully optimistic
[QUOTE=Llamalord;51447521]What are even the advantages/motives behind denying climate change??[/QUOTE] Fossil fuel industry makes a lot of money and supports rural areas who elected Trump because they work in the energy industry. [editline]30th November 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=T553412;51447527]You're being awfully optimistic[/QUOTE] I said hopefully. I don't think its gonna happen, but i fucking hope
in other words, trump's white house is confirmed kakistocracy
[QUOTE=T553412;51447527]You're being awfully optimistic[/QUOTE] It is optimistic and I'm certain it will happen, but only until everything around him has fallen to ruin.
[QUOTE]I think that’s what he’s saying.[/QUOTE] Not even Trump's chief of staff knows what the fuck is going on in his head
[QUOTE=Da Big Man;51447511]Am I having a stroke what does this mean[/QUOTE] It means he'll pretend to listen to you, to not seem like an idiot asshole, which is his default personality.
How can you people vote for people with this stance knowing the repercussions down the line?
[QUOTE=Llamalord;51447521]What are even the advantages/motives behind denying climate change??[/QUOTE] appeasement to the paranoid retards, and money [editline]29th November 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Morgen;51447562]How can you people vote for people with this stance knowing the repercussions down the line?[/QUOTE] because 75% of people who voted trump saw 1 policy that they liked and thought that was better than the entirety of clinton
[QUOTE=Morgen;51447562]How can you people vote for people with this stance knowing the repercussions down the line?[/QUOTE] They weren't thinking.
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;51447512]The fact fucking CHINA is more progressive on this issue shows how backwards the GOP and Trump is.

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;51447587]Here's hoping increasingly progressive attitudes from China will counteract our increasingly regressive attitudes to make sure the world isn't doomed within the next 4 years.[/QUOTE] It would be the ultimate irony to see China surpass America in greatness.
The more I hear about stuff like this, the more I'm afraid that it might be too late to do anything against global warming. I feel like the least we can do is to at least try delaying it, I don't want my, or future generations, to have to deal with a fucked up earth. Maybe the EU can have some impactful treatis with China, but that won't compensate for the US completely dismissing it.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51447550]This makes me so fucking sick. You fucking idiots voted for this.[/QUOTE] But we need to Make America Great Again until the longterm effects of climate change kick in and completely fuck us over along with the rest of the world.
[QUOTE=genpung;51447601]It would be the ultimate irony to see China surpass America in greatness.[/QUOTE] considering america has chosen the path of regression and fascism, that's almost a garuntee
These are the types of people we will see as traitors in a 100 years

[QUOTE=freaka;51447617]These are the types of people we will see as traitors in a 100 years[/QUOTE] i see them as traitors right now

[QUOTE=Mr Clean;51447630]no[/QUOTE] Look, I'm not a fan of Trump either, I just think that calling him a literal facist is an exaggeration. The USA is still a democracy. Sure, certain groups in society will have a harder time now, which I also don't like. But you guys are acting like he'll go full facist and exterminate all undesirables, which simply isn't true. But let's go back to topic: Maybe people will vote for democrats in 4 years and the senate will be blue, if the presidential candidate isn't a turd like this year. Maybe then the US can go back to funding renewable energies etc.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51447550]This makes me so fucking sick. You fucking idiots voted for this.[/QUOTE] Trump lost the popular vote. Though I'm not excusing my state or the Midwest for voting him in.

EVEN FUCKING EXXON admits its not a bunch of bunk [editline]29th November 2016[/editline] also fuck the idea people voted for change, nearly everybody in congress got re-elected.
