I wonder if Trump will go after the CIA's drug smuggling?
That could be dangerous.
The Heroin problem in the US has sky rocketed, since the US/CIA got the poppy fields up and running again.

After I wiped my tears from LAUGHING so hard I decided to read this fine article and so I put a condom on my internet connection and clicked on your link.

First thing... I just gotta point this out. The article says "hundreds of scientists"... that's not 100% of scientists. So, how many hundreds? Well, Three. There were 300 scientists, at least that's what the Washington Examiner says, which is what your source is sourcing. 300 hundred seems about the normal number of geologists commissioned by the carbon industry to protect the illusion that carbon emissions are good for us.

The report was apparently handed to Presidential Clown by the anti-environmentalist that he put in charge of the EPA. Only the stupidest morons on the planet can't see past this bullshit. It's not even a compelling report, in fact from what's been reported by your source, there's no indication that it even makes any sense.

The report says CO2 is not pollution. Well, that all depends on what you're calling pollution. They said CO2 is a beneficial gas that helps plants grow. Well yeah... So? Is this the strategy now? Revert to grade school science and remind ourselves that plants consume CO2? I guess if you stop there everything becomes stupid-simple and I guess they feel more confident since Trump was elected that stupid-simple is all they need. Our industry produces CO2 and that makes trees happy. The End. :)

Never mind the fact that the planet had plenty of carbon dioxide without our factories. Never mind the fact that CO2 is also a greenhouse gas that traps heat, so while it might be good for plants at one level, too much of it will trap too much heat and cause bigger problems on another level. Never mind the fact that CO2 is only a part of what our industry emits anyway. Along with the CO2, industry is also tossing up a whole range of heavy metals and toxic compounds that claim more American lives per year than all the American lives that were EVER lost to Muslim terrorists. But that's just the story of pollution, which as you know, doesn't sell... (probably because the deaths are slow and boring). But global warming (and the climate changes that it causes) is another problem; one that CO2 plays a bigger role in and also presents a more dramatic end.

So a few clever people make it there business to fool the public into thinking a step-back from Paris is based on good sense. They appeal to a level of education they know will resonate with the dumb-ass population that they've learned to bet on for things like electing a demagogue like Trump, so fifth-grade. Basic science... trees consume CO2 and produce O. That's it - keep it stupid-simple.

It's just a little embarrassing that as the U.S. turns away from the table at which every other country in the world is sitting... it won't be just because the U.S. government is too weak to stand up to industry, but because they actually convinced the American people that their pollution is good for trees.

Insult to injury.

As I stated earlier a U.N. official actually admitted that the purpose of Climate Change was to destroy capitalism, And this Christiana Figueres isn't the first U.N. official to slip up and say so. The goal is world wide socialism. Greed also is a big incentive, there are billions of dollars of grant money being handed out to those with the right political outlook

eagle... the author is L. Frank Baum who published the story as an allegory for the political and social situation in the 1890s. It's a well known topic of discussion... the political interpretations of the Wizard of Oz. From what I remember, the story revolves around the fight for a bimetal standard (gold AND silver). The perspective is set in Kansas where farmers were loosing their shirts to drought and plague. Many of them were angry with the bankers that seemed to be profiting from their losses. The idea was that allowing the coinage of silver would increase the money supply and make it easier for farmers to pay off their debts. The idea was championed by a populist movement at the time and that was being reported in the papers as a political tornado. As you know, populists always love a tornado.

One more thing... in the original story, Dorthy had silver slippers not ruby ones... The movie studio was experimenting with technicolor and decided ruby slippers would pop out better, but L. Frank Baum had her in silver slippers, dancing along a gold brick road. There's your bimetal currency... To where? Why, to the Emerald City... The banks back east that have all the gold (measured in ounces... as in "OZ") on which to issue money.

Tin Man was the factory worker (hard labor = no heart left), the Scarecrow was the farmer (no brains = reference to how they kept getting screwed by the bankers), the Lion was the politician (without the guts to stand up for... the little people)

L. Frank Baum wrote the story in the late 1890s. This was when the government was just starting to experiment with progressive systems on very small scale. So, it's highly unlikely that the story is a description of such wide-spread progressive culture. Populism maybe, capitalism of course, but progressive politics? Nah.

Here's what she ACTUALLY said...

“This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history,” - Christiana Figueres

That doesn't mean the destruction of capitalism you idiot. It means switching the basis of industry from fossil fuel to renewable energy.

Pay closer attention to what I wrote. I said 100% of the 300 scientists who signed the letter. I thought I would apply the same criteria to get my percentage that was used to get the original 97%. Actually CO2 is good for your lawn too, and, of course sodas... and exhaling...

Maybe Trump's family was the shadow behind the Bush-Halliburton-Buildabear-ABC-XYZ conspiracy to get blacks hooked on heroin.

straighNUP is one deluded, weird cat.
He probably exhales Oxygen to do his part; stealing from the plants. How cruel.

The Bushes and Clinton Cartel. Quite a partnership.
Bush1 - I'll take the Middle East Poppies"
Clinton1 - "I'll take the South American CoCo leaves. My nose needs some refreshment."
Bush1 - "My son (Bush2) will carry on."
Clinton1 - "Good; My wife (Clinton2) will carry on also."
Bush1 - "Its in the bag"
Clinton1 - "do you mean Hag?"
Bush1 - "You're the one that sleeps with her!"
Clinton1 - "Really?LOLOLOLOLOL"

All the while blacking out the climate Modification that has gone on.
I think HAARP was finally turned off, allowing the Jet Stream to move. The California drought has ended for now.

"[K]eep it stupid-simple". Actually, the saying is 'keep it simple, stupid', also known as the KISS principle. Now to the science...

I believe it was in fourth grade that I was taught about the ecosystem and the cycle of animals taking in oxygen and producing CO2, and plants taking in CO2 and producing oxygen. I understand it's called 'symbiosis'. Regardless of the grade level, it is what I would describe as 'settled science', unlike the misleading and outright false 'anthropomorphic global cooling / warming / changing' belief system. This is not 'science', it is religion. These people started out with a proclamation (in the 1970's) that the Earth was cooling and another ice age was just around the corner. Didn't happen. Many people who had gone out and bought skis were very disappointed. Then we were supposed to be fried alive by 'global warming' (remember Al gore's 'hockey stick' graph?), that too was a bust. Many people who had gone out and bought parasols were similarly disappointed. Now we're faced with the uncertainty of 'climate change'. After all the freezing and burning, we're told that the climate is 'changing' and nobody really knows what's next. Well, regardless of how the climate changes, we're ready for it with our skis and parasols.

For a good indication of what the climate is doing, simply look up. Is the sun shining? Then it's going to be warm. Is it cloudy out? Then it's going to be somewhat cooler. Is the wind coming from the south? Then it may well be a few degrees warmer. Is the wind out of the north? Then it may well be a few degrees cooler. Sun shining and wind from the south might well bring a hot, humid day. Cloudy and wind from the north will be significantly cooler. See how this works? The main driver of 'climate change' is that big yellow ball in the sky we call the sun. The weather comes a close second and that's the whole story.

As for carbon dioxide being a problem, that's easily fixed. Plant a few trees to replace the ones harvested for industry. The trees (and the flora that grow around them) will naturally remove carbon dioxide from the air and replace it with oxygen. Both of those gases, by the way, are naturally occurring and vital to sustain life as we know it. They fail to mention that in the hallowed halls of 'climate change' but my 4th grade science teacher knew all about it.

Yep; my teacher did also

You really need to put your glasses on, so you can see the words in the sentences of these posts. Course, that wouldn't help your comprehension, but it's a start.

"Intentionally transform the economic development model". Let's unpack that little statement. I think you'll find there's more to it than meets the eye at first blush.

"Intentionally transform". Deliberately make a thorough or dramatic change in the form, appearance, or character of

"Economic development". The process by which a nation improves the economic, political, and social well-being of its people.

"Model". A system or thing used as an example to follow or imitate.

Now, let's add all this together:

Deliberately make a thorough or dramatic change in the form, appearance, or character of a system or thing used as an example to follow or imitate the process by which a nation improves the economic, political, and social well-being of its people.

In plain language, Communism.

Speaking of droughts, what, exactly, was the cause of the extreme drought in the plains, during the Great Depression? Conservatism was to blame, I'm sure.
