Are u happy with Donald Trump being president again? ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Of the USA.
Our economy is in my opinion the most important issue of the day. Not saying abortion is not an issue. Not saying illegal immigration is not either. Or war. But some things are out of our control. And if we choose not to control it it's because the establishment is benefiting and profiting from it anyway. War and immigration is a business.
The pharmacuetical industry is a business. Politics in itself, is a business. So this is what it is. The system is corrupt. Democrat or Republican.
So nobody here should be surprised that we got what we did on last night. Regardless of what goes down soon, America will survive. Now my question to you Are you ok with the fact that Donald Trump' is President of the United States again.
Best answer wins.

@Thorstormbringer says
: there actually is evidence in the ice cores for instances of rapid climate change and such instances happened before the industrial revolution you probably like to put the blame on.
Actually, I did take first semester geology decades ago; even did field work taking strikes & dips, examining thin sections thru polarizing microscopes etc etc. And I have looked into the info to be found in ice cores and deep sea sediments. And you are dead wrong, buddy.


As you probably know, ice cores yield about 800,000 years of data, covering about 7 ice ages. The climate data comes from bubbles in glacial ice, and is corroborated by data from lake & sea floor sediments.

CO2 & methane & temp data

Here's where the various data sets were collected:

The most salient thing about the 800,000 years of climate data is the rate of change during those previous 7 ice ages compared to the current rate of change this century.

No, @Thorstormbringer we haven't seen CO2 levels anywhere near this high in the last 7 ice ages. And we know that where CO2 goes, temperatures and sea levels follow.

BTW, since you mentioned your background in geology, I thought I'd see what your fellow geologists say about the subject. It's EYE OPENING!

Climate Changeโ€”GSAโ€™s position statement on climate change recognizes that โ€œhuman activities (mainly greenhouse-gas emissions) are the dominant cause of rapid warming since the middle 1900sโ€ and โ€œaddressing the challenges posed by climate change will require a combination of adaptation to the changes that are likely to occur and mitigation of future impacts through global reductions of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions from anthropogenic sources.โ€ GSA encourages the responsible transition away from fossil fuel energy resources, recognizing that a variety of energy sources will be required to meet global energy demand through the transition and that no form of energy is perfectly secure or devoid of potential social, environmental, health, or economic impacts.

and https://www.geosociety.org/GSA/gsa/positions/position25.aspx

Seems the geologists' opinion isn't too different from that of the American Physical Society, the American Chemical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and at least 15 other national organizations of publishing scientists.
