Gotta say, it takes a special kind of stupid to embrace gas guzzlers the same day scientists tell us America recorded the hottest month in earth's historyhttps://t.co/V6FqUvJ5WU— Bill McKibben (@billmckibben) August 2, 2018
This was bound to come: the fossil fuel industry and big polluters win another one under Trump's malevolent policies toward the environment.
There've been the climate danger signs for years: 100 year storms happening every three or four years, widespread sustained droughts, polar ice cap receding, and so much more. Just check the stories in the past few days: deadly heatwaves caused by climate change, record Arctic heat affecting wildlife, even the planet's soil is hyperventilating due to the heat.
The deliberate wrecking of environmental regulations, exiting the Paris climate accords, and the turning to increased use of fossil fuels is beyond stupid. It's literally killing off life.
BONUS: Eugene Robinson has a good read about Trump and his "environmental vandals."
