Random Politics & Religion #24
I tried to play scrabble but it seemed to educational.
How I would play scrabble:
YouTube Video Placeholder Viciouss said: » So May is over, lets see if Trump starts off June just as badly. The entire world is telling him not to leave the climate agreement, but he is stupid enough to do it anyway out of spite. It will derail his entire foreign "agenda," but who cares right? Any spite involved would be icing on the cake for me!

How is it a terrible deal for America?
Viciouss said: » How is it a terrible deal for America? Yeah, didn't think so. Just because we are one of the richest countries in the world doesn't mean we have to support the rest of the world for their social experiments.

Viciouss said: » How is it a terrible deal for America? Let us join the illustrious ranks of Syria and Nicaragua by dropping out of the agreement. U-S-A! U-S-A!
Caitsith.Shiroi said: » Viciouss said: » How is it a terrible deal for America? It's the proper thing to do, therefor it's a bad deal by American standards. Especially since there will not be any change as long as the main polluter keeps their emissions going full blast. I'm sure that Canada can fleece their citizens out of a few more hundreds of millions of (Canadian) dollars a year.

Nausi said: » Viciouss said: » How is it a terrible deal for America? No, its absolutely not. I know that you and Trump are in love with coal because you don't know any better, and you believe the Trump lies that the coal industry is booming (its not), but it has always been bad for the environment and remains one of the least efficient energy sources out there. I don't think Syria or Nicaragua can afford clean air !

Good thing thats not actually happening, as China has already made strides against their coal pollution.

Good thing thats not actually happening, as China has already made strides against their coal pollution. At least they took the first step at solving the problem, which is identifying that there is one. Had a lot of pressure from the rest of the world, oh, about 4 decades worth now. Maybe they can start step two this century?

/inb4 Vic denying that source because it's not super liberal, even though it is.

Thats a nice blog, but uh, how about something that actually reports on what China is actually doing?
fonewear said: » I don't think Syria or Nicaragua can afford clean air ! Well Syria kind of has other problems that are more pressing . Nicaragua feels that the Paris Agreement is sub standard to their own. Viciouss said: » I don't bother reading sources, but when I don't, I don't even hover over the link itself to see that it is an actual article from Bloomberg, which is a liberal-leaning source and not what most sane people consider a blog website. I mean, it's not even in the opinion section, but obviously I don't bother to read anything. Cause it damages whatever credibility I have ever had before.

China so far is the overachiever of the class when it comes to meeting its stated goals in the Paris agreement. King making things up per usual.

KN just ignores what is going on in the energy sector of China, instead focusing on soil pollution, because that is relevant to the coal industry.
There's a reason you picked a blog piece that failed to make any mention of co2 emissions.
soending all that money to reduce temps by .05 degrees is about the dumbest thing to spend money on. You wouldn't even notice that difference (which is the point).
But hey we live in a free country so I'm sure pleebo and Vic will save their own money to donate for the cause they believe in so much. (They won't) Viciouss said: » I'm more concerned about the war on women. Hey last I knew, china was on track to build a new coal plant a week for the next 15-20 years.
Has that changed? Is there a source on that? Why would you want a war on coal ? Coal if given enough time will turn into valuable diamonds !
