I liked Reagan, but those Europeans could not get past his grade B western image.
(John Wayne didn't like horses and preferred mingling in high Hollywood society)

In 1989 at an international meeting of mathematicians in Luminy, France, the negative, even vile comments about that "ignorant cowboy", Ronald Reagan, were common.
Little did we know that Reagan's pronouncement that smog was caused by Tule Fog would be so prophetic......

Don't forget, ketchup counts as vegetables. Reagan kept the prune juice companies rolling, too. Visionary.

Every part of Trumps speech and idiot explanation of his view on the Paris Agreement is WRONG! all FAUX nonsense to appeal to his dimwit base.
It's non binding.
It's one step in a path of numerous future steps and adjustments.
Everything in it is just a pledge.
The US doesn't have to pay anything to the Green fund,
just like the EU can't be forced to pay 2% of GDP to defense.
It will actually SAVE money in the long run,
in slowing down rising sea level, drought & storms, dying sea life, desertification, crisis that will likely lead to future wars, etc.
Typical l00n hysteria.
US backing out of the "agreement" doesn't look good in sheep world but means nothing in the long run.
The biggest polluters will continue unabated until it becomes fiscally in their best interest to change. Agreement or not.

Bill Collins is extremely esteemed as a climate scientist and warns against the CO2 crisis. However he misinforms with extreme subtlety about the severity of the crisis. At least so did he, before I excoriated him once in public for doing so (it caused a far ranging scandal, I lost friends).
What Bill Collins said and presented in misleading graphs was that the augmentation of temperature would stop if we stopped the CO2 production. That's denial of the highest order. In truth not only the temperature keep on rising, but that rise could well accelerate, and take a life of its own.
That's the crux.

There are probably several posters on ST who come from outside the climbing community to engage in political and other non-climbing controversial threads. They remain largely anonymous and some might even make comments on climbing threads that makes them sound like they were once climbers. A key to recognizing these people is a complete absence of photographs.
But who really cares.
