November 9-10, 2017: The U.S. Now Stands Alone on Climate Change

 

11/9/17: Syria announces plans to sign on to the Paris Climate Accord. Nicaragua, one of the last holdouts, signed last month. 

That leaves one nation to bravely stand alone, a nation whose leaders are too bleeping dumb, or too willfully ignorant, or too beholden to Big Oil and Big Coal, to face the most basic facts. 

That country is the U.S.A. 

You could attempt to argue with right-wingers on this topic. It would be akin to explaining Stoic philosophy to a moose. As for Trump, we have in the Oval Office a gentleman whose grasp of even second grade science is so poor he can’t understand how the human body produces energy. According to the president, human bodies are like batteries. They have “a finite amount of energy,” which exercise depletes. Once you use the energy up it’s gone forever.


All of the above nations signed the climate agreement.


All the nations that did not.

11/10/17: Roy Moore. Wow! Roy Moore – accused pedophile – and GOP candidate for U.S. Senate from Alabama. 

Wow.



Can we get one of these for Roy Moore's house?

And another at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
