As much as it amuses me to imagine Mar-a-Lago underwater, Trump and his anti-environmental cronies are a walking nightmare. Trump admits that the temperatures will increase 7 degrees by 2100. But his logic is "oh well, let's just raise the emissions limits anyway". Maybe he feels that way because he's over 70, but this will destroy Manhattan and Florida. Glad I already live in Seattle, the South will be unlivable.

Can you provide a source where Trump admits temperatures will increase 7 degrees by 2100?

Sure, I'll even include Yale since that's obviously a GOP favorite.

"The Trump administration predicted in a draft environmental impact statement last month that the planet will warm seven degrees Fahrenheit by 2100, a development that scientists say could be catastrophic.

Among the consequences of such a rise, coral reefs would dissolve, oceans would become more acidic, extreme heat waves would plague the globe, and coastal cities would be at risk of being under water, according to The Washington Post, which was the first to report on the prediction."

They're using this extreme warming to justify repealing laws designed to reduce it.

The Democrats love time travel. Go back to 1982 and check on Kavanagh, then fly off to 2100 and get a weather report. What a bunch of quacks.

Copy and paste your title next to one of those headlines. See if you can spot the critical difference.

I would point it out, but I still have faith that you're capable of learning. LOL, just kidding. I don't have any such faith.

Eh no. Trump just wants to increase the pollution for vehicles. The GOP is running on increasing pollution. And Trump's report is justifying the increase in pollution by saying they already know temperatures will increase 7 degrees by 2100 anyway so may as well increase pollution from vehicles because "why not?"

Then make cars that pollute less and don't cost so much. It always baffles me how liberals think governments can solve this.
