IRS Scandal...Resulted in shutdowns of conservative owned charities, thereby reducing energy usage of those companies...SUCCESS!!!

Installed Hillary as SOS. She bleachbitted 30k emails thus reducing the additional manpower and working hrs using electricity to review them. ...ANOTHER SUCCESS!!!

Increased racial division resulting in BLM, which resulted in black people marching, walking instead of sitting around listening to gangsta rap, using electricity. Increased the number of cop killings, reducing the amount of carbon footprint by cops...MORE SUCCESS.

Iran deal...Gave them millions so they can reduce their reliance on traditional weaponry, and instead hide their nuclear program from us, reducing carbon emissions....SUCCESS!

Traded 5 terrorists in Guantanamo for 1 deserter. Resulted in less people to care for in Guantanamo, thereby redusing energy usage. And once the terrorists kill off more people, the carbon footprint will be reduced further....BIG SUCCESS since the terrorists have already returned to their terrorist activity!!
I repped this post. See this post, Trump to withdraw from Climate Change Agreement, for more on my views of another dubious Obama success, the Paris Climate Accords.

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.
He and Michelle took private 747's around the world to make speeches on the dangers of carbon emmissions

Former President Obama did nothing to impact CAGW in any manner.

Democrats in Congress did nothing to impact CAGW in any manner.

Democrats period did nothing to impact CAGW in any manner.

Scientists did nothing to impact CAGW in any manner.

Climate scientists did nothing to impact CAGW in any manner.

Accords and Treaties did nothing to impact CAGW in any manner.



All that any of the above accomplished via the scam known as catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) is the planning and implementation of mechanisms designed to redistribute wealth. That's it. Nothing else was done.

You have to laugh when you see these online posters who think they know better than the vast majority of reputable scientific organizations.

We're not wasting our breath with you, OP, because you're not actually open to another POV. You just want to shout people down.

This standard that we're supposed to judge Obama by, how well he reduced global warming in 8 years, is ridiculous. This is a global issue, and the U.S. should do their part. Trump should honor that commitment

Also putting funding and policies in place to promote clean coal energy and expand nuclear energy as a way to reduce carbon emissions.

FACT SHEET: Obama Administration Announces Actions to Ensure that Nuclear Energy Remains a Vibrant Component of the United States’ Clean Energy Strategy



From the link:


Quote:
The President’s FY 2016 Budget includes more than $900 million for the Department of Energy (DOE) to support the U.S. civilian nuclear energy sector by leading federal research, development, and demonstration efforts in nuclear energy technologies, ranging from power generation, safety, hybrid energy systems, and security technologies, among other things. DOE also supports the deployment of these technologies with $12.5 billion in remaining loan guarantee authority for advanced nuclear projects through Title 17. DOE’s investments in nuclear energy help secure the three strategic objectives that are foundational to our nation’s energy system: energy security, economic competitiveness, and environmental responsibility.



Please note that a large percent (over 50%) of our energy for our homes/businesses come from nuclear energy and there has been speculation that Trump's wanting to "undo" everything Obama has done will halt the evolution of nuclear energy. America is way behind Europe in particular regarding upgrading our nuclear facilities and many of them are past their prime. I live near a nuclear energy plan (it is about 50 miles away) I'd prefer money be invested into it so that more power can be generated along with making sure people keep their jobs at the plant and potentially hire new people.

I was reading yesterday that there is a similar plan in PA that is expecting to close next year if Trump rescinds funding to nuclear technology.

What a stupid thread. Let's keep taking a dump in the environment because we can't see the damage today.

I can't see the damage done by a bad roofing job today, but in 10 years when the sheathing is water damaged, it's too late.

Oh, and fuel economy standards, who cares about them, right? Gas is cheap today, who cares about tomorrow? Or that the less oil we (the US) uses for gasoline, we can use for other purposes where oil is needed to maintain our standard of living. Which would decrease the amount of oil we need to import. But who cares. Morons.

So your point is.....Obama did not go far enough?

He successfully pushed through lot of alternate energy initiatives, which created lot of jobs. If you want to argue alternate energy does not help with global warming, then you can argue with someone else, because that would make this a troll topic.
