It's not about Trump it's the people enabled around him like we all are codependent, letting strange people making decisions for you that don't care about how you are living or what future you have. Because they have before and again!
~~~Former President Donald Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement, staffed his environmental agencies with fossil fuel lobbyists and claimed — against all scientific evidence — that the Earth’s rising temperatures will “start getting cooler.”
Expect a second Trump presidency to show less restraint. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/12/trump-second-term-climate-science-2024-00132289
~~~Humanity has thrown the global water cycle off balance “for the first time in human history,” fueling a growing water disaster that will wreak havoc on economies, food production and lives, according to a landmark new report.
Decades of destructive land use and water mismanagement have collided with the human-caused climate crisis to put “unprecedented stress” on the global water cycle, said the report published Wednesday by the Global Commission on the Economics of Water, a group of international leaders and experts. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/16/climate/global-water-cycle-off-balance-food-production/index.html?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc
~~~Rising temperatures could reduce the efficiency of food chains and threaten the survival of larger animals, new research shows.
Scientists measured the transfer of energy from single-celled algae (phytoplankton) to small animals that eat them (zooplankton).
The study -- by the University of Exeter and Queen Mary University of London, and published in the journal Nature -- found that 4°C of warming reduced energy transfer in the plankton food webs by up to 56%.
Warmer conditions increase the metabolic cost of growth, leading to less efficient energy flow through the food chain and ultimately to a reduction in overall biomass. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/03/210301112403.htm
~~~At one point Carlos Aguilera, a construction worker from Florida who was born in Cuba, asked Trump if the recent slew of natural disasters and environmental issues battering the Sunshine State had made him reconsider his claims that climate change is a “hoax.”
Trump responded by bragging about his golf courses and lying about his environmental record. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-univision-town-hall-latino-voters-1235136099
