....no one talks about the imminent demise of mankind caused by Global Warming.
Well the topic is still being discussed, if not in quite those terms. But Trump knows he does not need facts or truth, he can persuade enough voters with lies and half-truths. And he lives in his own bubble. It's clear he got his picture of the situation in Sweden from a distorted report on Fox News, he knows Trump Tower was bugged because they said so on Breitbart and his claim of millions of illegal voters came from a random tweet. Inconvenient Truths will just be ignored. The link above is to an open letter signed by 800 scientists, submitted about a month after the election, the signatories eminent in climate science or a related discipline with hundreds of publications between them, urging the president to follow a science-based clean energy policy. After 3 months Richard Lindzen, one of a handful of credible contrarian scientist produced another letter advocating pulling out of the international treaty on climate change action. It was signed by 300, only a handful of whom have any related expertise, many retired, and to get the numbers up he had to include Christopher Monckton, (an English aristocrat with no scientific credentials), a GP, a forestry manager and other nutters from the distant fringes. Guess which letter Trump will point to?
We can hope he will be persuaded by his economic advisors, for example his promise to reboot the coal industry would be disastrous if followed through; coal has become uneconomic compared to the alternatives, a fact apparently grasped by the Chinese who are investing £292 bn in renewables by 2010, creating 11 million jobs.
This too shall pass. As Paul Krugman observed "politics determine who has the power, not who has the truth."My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment
