Van Jones: Trump may have signed Earth's death warrant
(CNN)As usual, Donald Trump is completely upside down on the facts.
In 2015, President Barack Obama created the Clean Power Plan to slow climate disruption. It was the first action ever taken by the US government to cut carbon pollution from existing power plants.
And this week, with the stroke of a pen, President Trump directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to take steps to end it.
Trump may have just signed a death warrant for our planet (at least, for a planet that is liveable for humans). And the lies he told to justify it have real consequences for real Americans, here and now.
First, Trump says he wants to dismantle the Clean Power Plan because it represents what he calls "job-killing regulation." False -- limited losses in some sectors are dwarfed by gains in others.

The potential for job growth in the clean energy sector dwarfs any potential job growth in the fossil fuel economy. For example, Trump promised the Keystone XL pipeline would create 28,000 jobs when he approved the project. But he had to use a huge multiplier to get to even that low number. In fact, it would create about 3,000 temporary construction jobs and only 35 permanent jobs. That's right: 35 permanent jobs.
Exxon to Trump: Don't ditch Paris climate change deal
By comparison, in 2016 the number of jobs in solar grew 25% from the year prior, according to figures from the nonprofit Solar Foundation, while jobs in the rest of the economy had less than 2% growth. Renewable energy jobs now create jobs 12 times faster than the rest of the economy.

Politics and Science don't mix well.

Of course they do. People get degrees in Political Science all the time and end up as analyst for CNN, MSNBC, ABC, making predictions that are horribly wrong. None more horrid then the one they made on November 8th, 2016. Heck they are still making predictions that get parroted here.

Took me two seconds to debunk that. What was your point in posting that chart?

What The Science Says:
This argument uses temperatures from the top of the Greenland ice sheet. This data ends in 1855, long before modern global warming began. It also reflects regional Greenland warming, not global warming.
Climate Myth: Most of the last 10,000 years were warmer
Even if the warming were as big as the IPCC imagines, it would not be as dangerous as Mr. Brown suggests. After all, recent research suggests that some 9,100 of the past 10,500 years were warmer than the present by up to 3 Celsius degrees: yet here we all are.
As you have pointed out previously, the " Alex Jones " ad is because you have visited that site. You probably live on it, based on your
fractured thinking.
He just follows the herd. Eight or nine years ago, they swore Greenland was burning up. when hard evidence of the vikings growing barley corn there a thousand years ago was found, they just wished it away.
The new trick is to cool the past, to keep every year from here on out the "hottest ever".

As always, I just listen to what those with PhDs are telling us and I ignore those who offer pseudo science and politics.
Someone who thinks they are as smart as espola does should understand how that shit works.
My ads are all trailer parts, threading machines and inline pumps.
