June 23, 2019: Trump Threatens to Obliterate Iran - Ignores Climate Change Threat to All Humanity

 

6/23/19: President Trump loves to talk tough. So, what about Iran? Having called off one attack, he wants fans to know he’s still itching to kick ass and slaughter untold number of human beings. 

Hiroshima and Nagasaki? 

Bigger! 

You will see “fire and fury” like…no, scratch that. That was Trump’s last threat, also, not acted upon.

You need nuclear weapons to obliterate cities.

Interviewed on NBC’s Meet the Press, the president explains why he called off the Iran attack. “What happened is, I said, ‘I’m not going to do it. I’ll save it. If they do something else, it’ll be double,’” he tells host Chuck Todd. “I’m not looking for war and if there is, it’ll be obliteration like you’ve never seen before. But I’m not looking to do that. But you can’t have a nuclear weapon. You want to talk? Good. Otherwise you can have a bad economy for the next three years.”

AN INVESTIGATION by Politico reveals that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been refusing “to publicize dozens of government-funded studies that carry warnings about the effects of climate change.” 

Once again, political stooges in the Trump administration ignore science and do their best to keep all Americans, particularly Trump supporters, from having to face the implications of unpleasant news. 

“The intent is to try to suppress a message — in this case, the increasing danger of human-caused climate change,” said Michael Mann, a leading climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University. “Who loses out? The people, who are already suffering the impacts of sea level rise and unprecedented super storms, droughts, wildfires and heat waves.”

 

In one research effort, scientists from the USDA, China, Japan, and Australia spent two years studying the effects on rice of rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Protein, vitamin, and key mineral levels all decreased, potentially threatening the diet of 600 million people. 

The political hacks in charge at USDA blocked release of the study and asked research partners not to mention the results to anyone else. “Why the hell is the U.S., which is ostensibly the leader in science research, ignoring this?” one USDA scientist asked rhetorically. 

“It’s not like we’re working on something that’s esoteric…we’re working on something that has dire consequences for the entire planet [emphasis added].” “You can only postpone reality for so long,” the researcher added.
