To people who voted for trump: How are you feeling about his reign so far?

I know he's only the president elect and technically the electoral college has not officially voted but what do you think?

He's already bungled relations with china which has resulted in them flying nuclear-capable bombers near taiwan. He's seems very amiable with putin and the election appears to have been influenced by the kremlin.
He doesn't believe climate change is real (it's a plot by the chinese) and the people he's appointing to his staff are climate change deniers, hyper-socially conservative and millionaires with conflicts of interest like himself.

These are all objective facts. On the record.
Is he all you hoped for so far?

Guess you were unaware that China has been doing its thing with Taiwan for decades. It had a major advance during Obama's last few years because it saw the US as being weak.

Please provide some evidence of the validity of the theory of man made AGW. According to NASA satellite data the global mean temperature is 58.7 degrees F. Unchanged in 20 years.

A lot of very bright people realized that the CO2 levels are extremely low in relation to previous eras and since there has been a slight increase in CO2 levels there is more plant growth. You see CO2 doesn't drive the weather but it is plant food. The more plants the more animals its a win win situation.

@hippyjoe1955

lol this is SO not the place to start a debate about whether or not climate change is happening.
It is.
MOST of the very bright people realize this.

Actually most bright people have never bought into the nonsense. The problem is we have raised a generation of gullible city kids with no outdoors experience and so anything anyone tells them about the great outdoors is believable. There is a meme on one website asking how many deaths has Disney been responsible for since silly city kids think that wild animal just needs a bit of their love... until the animal kills its intended lover. It is the same with climate. Most people have no idea how it work or have any sense of the cyclical nature of it so they fall pray to the hucksters who take their money and freedom away with out qualm or concern.

@hippyjoe1955:

Not gonna argue with the willfully ignorant.
Look it up an educate yourself.
Or don't.
Doesn't change a thing😉

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

Of course will never investigate it for yourself. You simply rely on experts who have been shown over and over and over again to be liars and for lack of a better word 'false prophets' When was Manhattan supposed to be under water? When was the Arctic and Antarctic supposed to be ice free? Give your head a shake. You have been duped.

@hippyjoe1955:

I have. And you haven't. You've listened the to fringe because that's what you want to believe.
You rely on "experts" who have been shown to be embarrassingly ignorant if not blatantly disingenuous.

Like i said: educate yourself.
I can't waste my time trying talk sense to a stone.

hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M

After you have educated your self. Son listen. Times past the co2 levels were magnitudes higher than today and the world did not burn up. In fact it went into an ice age. Then it warmed up then another ice age then it warmed up then an ice age. For simple folk like you it would seem that there is only one driver of climate change. If there were then how did all those past changes occur?

@UnparalleledMonster: Climate - Mother Earth can shake us off any time with an earth quake, with a volcano eruption. We do indeed need to take care of our waste and pollution. Then the SUN, look back at 1859, if that happened now, you would not even be able to post your objections. The sun heats all the oceans, we are so minute like flees in comparison to the SUN. So Maybe we are to full of our own self-importance in comparison to the elements of earth and space. Read up on the importance of the ant-artic with ocean currents, the ant-artic is the main measure of how well we are doing. The temp only needs to be below zero with the wind to form all the ice needed in ant-artic. The TERA satellite monitors all earth currents/temp/atmosphere. (Yes, we need to take care of water and our waste ..but it won't drop the temp, we have the SUN ...)
