Global Anger and Dismay After Trump Slams Brakes on U.S. Climate Action | Common Dreams


Must be fake news right? Trump's joke of a policy of trying to receive an 19th century industry is exactly the opposite of where the rest of the world is going. Why stop there? Might as well make America first by bringing back Blockbuster and KODAK film booths..

Seriously? CommonDreams.Org? China is chastising us for not doing enough on climate change? Of course they're going to say that, they've had a huge advantage being able to use the dirtiest fuel technologies on the planet while our economy is hamstrung with climate change rules. We will continue to drill, frack, use clean coal & nuclear, and China can suck it.

Sounds like they want to make consumer items more expensive for their own people. Better them than us.

Obama: "Hey, that's a good idea"

When you put America first, you're going to have conflict. No need to make dumb threads every time some journalist goes on a whiny rant about it.

That'll show 'em! We will increase our pollution and increase the damage we have already done to the environment just to get back at China.

What a bunch of children I swear…....

Self flagellation went out of style during the Middle Ages.
Let's not revive it.

China is cleaning up it's act - reducing coal and moving to renewables. With the US going backwards under Trump China is becoming the clean energy leader. Seriously.

That "whiney just journalist" has quotes from some of the world's leading scientists, it was not just his opinion.

We are finally making progress to slow down the damage we are doing to the Earth. How anyone can't see how reversing this trend is a bad thing is kind of disgusting.
