Liberals: Name Even a Single Thing Barack Obama Did that Reduced Global Warming.

No, not action he took that is **supposed* to work one day...that **may** be good for the earth at some future point.....but actual, tangible, quantifiable proof that Barack Obama positively impacted our climate through his actions.

If you can't do that, then you have no business criticizing President Trump for reneging on agreements, rules, regulations, etc, that have no proven track record. Speculation is not good government, and crossing your fingers and wishing on a fantasy is not a good reason to admire Barack Obama's track record on the environment.

Government legislates but you want to ban all legislation from this discussion?

Even those who are the most serious about tackling climate change know that existing damage is very difficult to reverse. The only thing that can be done is to minimize further damage caused by humans.

Fuel economy standards. Helping make solar enter the mainstream via tax breaks and investment.

Both help slow the train down.

I think my post was pretty clear. If you can't name a single tangible accomplishment on actual climate change by Barack Obama, then you have no business denigrating Trump for erasing what was never achieved to begin with.

Uh-oh.

Now you're gonna have to point out how much the new standards have reduced global warming.
And you can't do that.

Show me the proof that what Barack Obama signed or otherwise put in place actually "minimized further damage."

The OP wants proof that a US action in the past 8 years had an immediately and measurable impact on global warming trends.

Clay banger - do you believe that measurable global warming is happening? If not then what's the point of this thread?

Well, this is a thread that will be impossible to end to your satisfaction, unless everyone says "nothing". It is obvious that any detailed answer with supporting documentation will be ignored by you. So why bother?


Science means nothing to you, the Paris accords mean nothing to you, the number of countries signing on means nothing to you.


One can have a rational discussion with rational people, but otherwise? 'Covfete'*.




*Here meaning an exercise in futility.
