It was no more Mr. Nice Guy from Donnie yesterday. America is going to rid itself of our miserable economy and lifestyles. We are no longer furnishing a free lunch at our environmentally maintained kitchen. In addition to his inability to comprehend anything that will not fit on the bumper sticker, Donnie justified his decision primarily on the basis that staying in the Paris Accord which has no enforceable provisions would be ruinous to our economy. Apparently Donnie is going to sign executive orders providing that there will be no further environmental regulation. We are going to get rid of the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the EPA. Current EPA Director Snot Proveit will stay on to ferret out any other environmental regulations that may be lurking about.Snot was on TV today to not answer questions about yesterdays action. He filled his normal role of providing nauseating praise of his boss. Micro Pants was not there so he had to sing the hosannas solo.Snot praised Donnie for his courage. Oddly enough, rumor has it that Donnie will be prominently featured in a new Book to be entitled " Profiles in Pandering".
Donnies economic position is contrary to most of the business community in this country. But what do those guys know. Did any of these guys lose $1 billion in one year ? Donnie also justified his position on the notion that if these signatory nations met their goals it would only provide minimal effect on temperature. One might think that would cause Donnie to say we all need to do more .Au contraire. We need to do less.
No mention was made of the health effects and cost thereof of air pollution and CO2 trapping caused by the carbon economy. Apparently the health of our citizens is not a worthy topic. That is certainly consistent with the new Republican Vanishing Health Care Act. In valleys such as Salt Lake City where inversions and stagnant air occur there is a real health problem, particularly for the young and old. We do not meet the clean air standards, particularly for ozone levels. The response to that from our senior senator is that we need to raise the levels that are permissible. That could be a predominant Trump administration strategy. Eliminate health problems bye executive orders declaring they do not exist. It is apparently also the case that in areas like Southern Indiana where are there are lots of coal fired generating plants, there is a real infant and children's Health problem caused by the dirty air. One may wonder what is the economic cost of the health problems that are occasioned by what we are doing to our environment.
