    From the Guardian:
    EPA head Scott Pruitt denies that carbon dioxide causes global warming

    Excerpt:

    Yup, dork presidents put in place dork government agency heads in full-denial.

    This presidency is shaping up to its "promise" - four years of wasted time ...

    This is probably the most far-reaching outcomes of Trump's win.

    But to hell with that! Lets waste all our time and effort chastising him for calling out Sweden on their integration problems

    That is SOOOOO much shinier!

    We like shiny.

    Trumpy knows we like shiny.

    What's the "shocking" part here? Shocking that the EPA will no longer call CO2 a pollutant? Shocking that America is no longer bound by politics disguised as environmentalism? Shocking that Trump is not a member in good standing of the AGW cult?

    Deeply disappointing, rather than shocking. The main regulator of the second highest contributor to greenhouse gas has been de-clawed. With the world largest economy effectively out, its going to be very difficult for other countries to continue.

    Leftists jumped on CO2 as the primary contributor to global warming because factories produce a lot of CO2 and they want to control the means of production. It's a shame they can get away with fooling their oh so naive base like that.

    Not all scientists just the ones whose paychecks come from the government. They can't go rogue or they'll lose their funding.

    What a CROCK. Scientists all over the world have come to the same conclusion -- except for a few who a willing to sell their souls to the Koch Brothers or Exxon, etc, and lie and say they disagree with the majority of scientists.
    WHY would the government pay scientists to say CO2 is a major contributor to global warming?
    The motive - GREED - for the Koch Brothers, Exxon, etc. to fund deniers is easily seen.

    You don't understand.

    We don't give a damn how you "live your life". Just do not tell us how we should be living ours.

    Which means more Social Democracy to level the playing field. The US has one of the worst Income Disparities of any developed nation on earth. For your edification:

    And I'll bet you think that the above is Perfectly Acceptable because having millionaires is just fine for an economy. Except it isn't and here's why:
    [​IMG]

    And why do the top 0.1% of families own as much wealth as the other 90%? Because of lower Upper-income Taxation

    And why do the top 0.1% of families own as much wealth as the other 90%? Because of lower Upper-income Taxation that (after tax-deduction boondoogles like "carried interest") reduce upper-income taxation down to ridiculously low levels. And, as I said, look at the year in which the dark-line turns upward - 1980. Who was elected PotUS in 1980?)

    Moreover, though the Replicants like to admonish the Left that upper-incomes pay "most taxation in total", that factoid is ridiculous in nature. Of course they do, because their incomes are enormously high! And way-out-of-proportion to the rest us peons.

    And whyzzat? Because corporation Boards of Directors decided to increase ridiculously Management Salaries, Bonuses and Stock Options. The cost of which came out of business product/service revenues that were priced higher than need be. So, we, the sheeple, paid for skyrocketing total remunerations as well when purchasing a company's products/services!

    I would never tell anyone how to live their lives but can we lay off the paper or plastic crap at the grocery stores? Because it's not making a bit of difference and they know it.

    It means when you put recyclables in their proper containers they all end up in the same landfill. Joke's on you!
