Well I was challenging you on speaking for Trump. I wouldn't try, but for myself, I don't think polluting the Planet begins to describe the harm we do as an ever growing mass unchecked inhabitants. In fact we are the pollution and I see no solutions offered by the bleeding heart green liberals that insist on action. Stop doing what people do??? Hell that is a nuts. When I was but a lad and had to take care of myself, I could do it fairly well, fishing in the river, hunting for meat. Did alright for a kid on his own. But then all you guys came along, the immigrants came, and soon you couldn't feed yourself the way I did. I find is silly that people want you to Catch and Release fish or talk about hunting as a sport! Seems foolish to me to harass the fish by catching them just for giggles. Shoot a deer for Sport! WTF!!! The reason you can't live as I did is because there is too fucking many of you, us. I think it around 5 times as many now worldwide, about 5X in Oregon, and 2.5x in the US. Anyway that makes the Carbon foot print huge, the total mass of us. Carbon taxes and harassment of the individual to cut back on carbon is dumb. Taxing to make it happen is extreme. I told Senator Weyden about 10 years ago about immigration, maybe when we have fish in the rivers again, enough for your kids to eat, then perhaps more immigration would be in order. However, the sea will still rise until the next ice-age begins and it is close to time.
There are many more plausible explanations for NY to be underwater. 1. The land mass is sinking due to the weight of 20 million obnoxious people, and 100-story skyscrapers. 2. Land mass is always rising somewhere via volcanoes and earthquakes, which displaces the oceans making them rise. 3. The incredible amount of pollution we toss in the oceans also displaces the water making it rise. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2015/02/150212-ocean-debris-plastic-garbage-patches-science/

I've never met anyone who denies that climate changes. Just a lot of rational people who realize: a. It doesn't happen all that fast that it will have a big impact on our lives. b. It is a natural, never-ending, ebb and flow occurrence which if halted would would mean The Earth had died. c. There is only ONE way to lessen mankind's effect on it, lessen the numbers of mankind. So if you really want to do something about slowing climate change, and believe mankind is having a negative effect, don't procreate at all. Ever. And support war on a global scale. Never take in an immigrant or refuge (they all come from overpopulated countries), and stop sending that $18 a month to Sally Struthers to feed your pretend Korean Orphanage kid anymore. Protest against foreign aid of any kind, support the death penalty, you better not sign any organ donor card, and then kill yourself (it's legal in Oregon).
Probably nowhere, since we're raising the seafloor by dumping all our waste on it. Take a gallon of water, then drop a used oil filter in it. See what happens to the water level?
Decent article. I sailed through this trash eddy 38 years ago. The one 1300 miles from Hawaii, 850 sw of Oregon. Then it was full of Glass floats. I only picked up a few, three I think. Now they sell for a good chunk, but the trash eddy is full of plastic now. Probably never going to hit the collectors fancy. Carbon tax isn't going to fix this shit.

Of course the climate is changing. Much of the northern hemisphere was covered in glaciers 10,000 years ago, and then they started melting as the climate got warmer. 10,000 years later, the climate is still getting warmer and the glaciers are almost all gone.
Donald Trump is to completely shut down one of the government's most important data services. The Environmental Protection Agency's Open Data Web service – which stores information on climate change, life cycle assessment, health impact analysis and environmental justice – is to have its funding removed and will no longer be in operation, according to people working on the plan. That will mean that citizens will no longer be able to access information on their environment and climate, keeping them from researching potentially fatal changes to their area. The service stores data including detailed toxic chemical information, which allows citizens to look up whether there has been a dangerous spill in their area over the last 30 years. The funding is likely to have been removed as part of the Trump administration's focus on removing climate and energy safeguards, and undermining much of the work of the EPA. The service will go dark on Friday, bringing an end to the US government's biggest civilian-linked data service. The news came as the Trump administration announced that the President would be signing a range of new laws that roll back protections on drilling and protections for the environment. "This builds on previous executive actions that have cleared the way for job-creating pipelines, innovations in energy production, and reduced unnecessary burden on energy producers," the official said on condition of anonymity. On Wednesday, Trump is expected to sign an executive order related to the 1906 Antiquities Act, which enables the president to designate federal areas of land and water as national monuments to protect them from drilling, mining and development, the source said. On Friday, Trump is expected to sign an order to review areas available for offshore oil and gas exploration, as well as rules governing offshore drilling. The new measures would build on a number of energy- and environment-related executive orders signed by Trump seeking to gut most of the climate change regulations put in place by predecessor President Barack Obama. A summary of the forthcoming orders, seen by Reuters, say past administrations "overused" the Antiquities Act, putting more federal areas under protection than necessary. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...gency-government-administration-a7698736.html
