My thoughts on Donald Tump and climate change

And if anyone doesn't believe in global warming...

My take on it has always been, even if you don't believe that anthrogenic climate change is a 'thing', surely reducing the amount pollutants pumped into the air has to be a good thing anyway?

Maybe this is getting slightly off-topic, but don't forget that Amish youngsters are allowed a period of Rumspringa whereby they don't have to adhere to the rules as much while they make up their minds about whether or not they want to commit to the community they've been brought up in.

I've seen a few documentaries about the Amish in the last few years, and while I'm baffled by their refusal to accept our so-called "modern ways", I was quite impressed that there is a certain amount of acceptance that their young people may occasionally "stray from the path".

And to go the other way: I read AlterEgo's post and quite genuinely thought 'What's 8th grade?' (Lesson: Clearly there's a point beyond which even educated people are not going to know the details about life in or procedures in another country).

The original point remains that a fundamentalist Christian sect which practices technological and social isolation is probably not going to be considered fully up to speed with modern life, but hey it's the Internet. Sigh.

Remember the new member of Donald Trump cabinet (government) called Anthony Scaramucci. He said that climate change denial is ‘disheartening’ (March 2016). Well now like Theresa May on Brexit he has to make a u-turn. Further i will not talk about deleting (many) tweets from his Twitteraccount in which he is (some what) favorable about Hillary Clinton and other things.
