Guest essay by Eric Worrall
Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of Columbia’s Center for Sustainable Development and of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network has accused President Trump of being a sociopath, while at the same time directing hate speech towards President Trump’s wife daughter and son in law Jared.
Trump’s Climate-Change Sociopathy
Jeffrey Sachs
JUN 7, 2017 24
NEW YORK – President Donald Trump’s withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate agreement is not just dangerous for the world; it is also sociopathic. Without remorse, Trump is willfully inflicting harm on others. The declaration by Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations, that Trump believes in climate change makes matters worse, not better. Trump is knowingly and brazenly jeopardizing the planet.
Trump’s announcement was made with a bully’s bravado. A global agreement that is symmetric in all ways, across all countries of the world, is somehow a trick, he huffed, an anti-American plot. The rest of the world has been “laughing at us.”
These ravings are utterly delusional, deeply cynical, or profoundly ignorant. Probably all three. And they should be recognized as such.
…
Here’s more simple truth: With its large, rich, fossil-fuel-intensive economy, the US has done more than any other country to bring about the global peril of climate change, so it should accept its responsibility in helping to get us all out of danger. At a minimum, America should be eagerly cooperating with the rest of the world.
Instead, Trump’s sociopathic behavior, and the corruption and viciousness of those surrounding him, has produced utter disdain for a world nearing the brink of human-made catastrophe. The next human-caused climate disasters should be named Typhoon Donald, Superstorm Ivanka, and Megaflood Jared. The world will not forget.
What a nasty anger filled rant.
I can understand a climate true believer directing criticism towards President Trump. But to include his family – what influence did Jared have over President Trump’s Paris decision? What did Jared do to be included in Professor Sachs’ nasty rant, other than to have a father in law for whom Professor Sachs cannot contain his hatred?
Update (EW) – h/t Tom Halla corrected Jared’s name
Correction (EW) – I Called Jared President Trump’s son, he is Trump’s son in law. Included President Trump’s wife in the first paragraph.
Correction (EW) – Ivanka is President Trump’s daughter

What is a “human caused climate disaster”?
Well, the UN itself is a human caused disaster.
Professor Jeffrey Sachs:
These ravings are utterly delusional, deeply cynical, or profoundly ignorant.
Are communists actually human though? I thought slavery was an anti-human thing…
He see’s the end of his slush fund. Spending Billions of other peoples money is a “blast”, beats Monopoly. And that little bit of “shrinkage”, that’s in every gov’t transaction, still ends up to be in the Million’s of mostly U.S. taxpayer $$.
Sachs is also involved with the UN’s Global Pulse data push to get to the Marxian Human Development Society they call Dignity for All by 2030. https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/sustainable-development-data-by-jeffrey-d-sachs-2015-05
In addition he is the co-editor of their World Happiness Report commenced in 2012. Guess what creates happiness and well-being? That’s right, the omnipresent Human Development Society.
Busy man dedicated to quite the grasping global agenda where climate change is the excuse. Remember this week’s release of “Co-Creating the Urban Future” stated that the Paris Accords were only one leg of the three being used to implement the UN’s transformational agenda.
Any academic with Sustainable Development in their title.
Nothing says “sustainability” like “keeping black people in their place”:

The IPCC is a climate cause human disaster.
Well, this is the idiot who helped to destroy Russia after the fall of the USSR with his privatization schemes, which contributed to hundreds of thousands of suicides of ordinary citizens left bereft and impoverished by Sachs’ policies.
A nuclear winter I expect. President Trump is a critical threat to UN political aspirations.
Nuclear winter was the Progressive faux-catastrophe du jour before Hansen hatched CACA.
The most likely consequence of geoengineering.
For example, dropping a nuke into a volcano.
10,000 windmills per square mile?
NO, 5 wind turbines ( not windmills ) per sqr mile would be catastrophe and that is what would be needed if they think we can convert the entire transport network to electricity derived from “renewable” sources.
Greg,
here’s the numbers.

Well, Vash the Stampede was called “the human typhoon.”
It is where billions of dollars are spent in a futile attempt to change the Earths temperature, while billions of people who can’t afford food and shelter kill the last of the endangered species, and burn down “protected” forests to stay warm in winter.
ANSWER: It’s when countless trillions of dollars and countless man/woman/? hours are invested to mitigate a fantasized catastrophe, based on fundamentally flawed premises and known-but-obfuscated uncertainties, in order to achieve virtually nothing with regard to stated objectives, thereby diverting countless trillions of dollars and countless man/woman/? hours away from research that would have anticipated and thoroughly prepared for a major solar storm and a major asteroid strike that both occurred on the same day.
Sociopathic behavior = more proection from another looney tune. Perhaps we should have kept the mental institutions open, after all.
Projection, sorry
Barack Obama’s HI beach house.
How I would love to follow Sachs around for a day and remind him not to use any fossil fuel, or the products thereof.
Great idea. First get him to not use fossil fuel products. Then take away all his clothes with elastic, synthetic clothes, eye glasses stems, fillings in his teeth, shoes, automobile, pacemaker if he has one, any implants, food harvested ( unless he grew it himself without irrigation,fertilizers etc. Because commercially harvested foods use lots of fertilizers, tillage, planting, transportation, etc. They use lots of fossil fuels. Also domestic water supplies, classroom and on and on…
+1 Leonard! I always like to make most of your points when these eco-loons rage on about “Keep it in the ground!”. There is a lot more to the use of Petro Chemicals then just for energy.
Something tells me he wrote his missive on a device containing plastics and other materials produced by and/or using fossil fuels…
I think Donald Trump is the very first president who does not give a toss for politics or political stances but understands economics and finance.
Furthermore I believe he genuinely takes his duty towards the people of the United States of America seriously.
He does not need to do this at his age but he recognizes the problems the US and the world faces and unflinchingly has stepped into the breech.
What a man!

I agree completely, Roger
This ole world wouldn’t be nearly as much fun without Trump being president. I see a bright future ahead, if we can get some of the roadblocks out of the way.
Imagine if Hillary had won. We, and our future would be totally screwed.
He does not give a damn for political correctness. That’s great. However, I fear that he does not understand politics either, which is BIG problem with the job he has taken on.
Greg,
the objective of a politician is to be popular. The objective of businessmen is to be successful.
I suspect Trump’s disdain for popularity ratings may be to his benefit, assuming he does get America back to work.
HotScot, I don’t know if America is going back to work, but I do know that my investment portfolio has gone up substantially since Donald J. Trump was elected President. When I was in Charm School for CONOCO they pointed out that a businessmans objective should be to “maximize shareholder wealth”. President Trump is attempting to apply this general principle to America, but the obstruction is unprecedented. Withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is an integral part of this as it was a wealth redistribution scheme based on political science.
ron long,
That means you went to this Charm School after 1980 when the idea was spawned. You might be interested in this historical info about the real purpose of granting public corporation status to businesses. It was not to maximize shareholder wealth. It was to serve the public purpose, to serve the needs of society, not shareholders. This is just one article. Writer Ken Jacobson wrote a five-part series on it, and there are fascinating podcasts as well if you wish to delve.
http://www.alternet.org/story/154789/whose_corporations_our_corporations!/
I agree. Truly amazing. And so mean-spirited apart from being effing stupid.
MRW,
Thank you for your comment.
“You might be interested in this historical info about the real purpose of granting public corporation status to businesses. ”
Although Public Companies may fulfill all the things you listed, one cannot ignore that the main, essential and lasting function of a Corporation or a Joint Stock Company is the legal option to raise a Limited Liability Company for a venture where the losses cannot exceed the funds invested by the total investment of all the share holders.
Just in case you have forgotten,
since about the early 17th century, the Joint Stock or Public Limited Liability company
has enabled capital for an enterprise to be spread among a number of investors which
not only spreads the risk, (and limits the risk), but ensures that profits are fairly divided
according to each investment.
This is not only a basis of capitalism and a very large contributor to the rising wealth in
Europe, Britain and the US but is a bulwark of our global wealth to this day.
If you look at the business page of any newspaper, you are likely to see the shares and information of current Public Joint Stock Companies listed on that page.
Cheers
Roger
rogerthesurf,
I agree completely. However, priorities of obligations can vary within that definition and distinction. I think it was economic historian Michael Hudson who wrote a great article about the history of these captains of capitalism…I know it’s on a podcast I have buried somewhere.
I’m winging it here and drinking my brandy so unwilling to look it up, but Hudson describes how CEOs before 1980 were different. In the 30s and 40s, they were men (invariably except for the cosmetics and fashion industries) who worried how they were contributing to society, and if their employees were getting a fair deal. Henry Ford was a prime example; he made sure his employees earned enough to buy the product they were producing. Revolutionary. [I have a 1956 Republican poster that bragged how unions had upped the standard of living for 60 million working Americans, before unions became a dirty word.] After WWII, they changed to what were called “captains of industry.” People like Jack Welch of GE. And I forget the other examples.
Then the number-crunchers took over. Circa 1981. The financialization guys for whom the bottom line was the main–and in most cases, only–consideration. (The scourge of all media companies today.) Shareholders and stock prices. It also began the period of the stock buyback because the top people’s bonuses were tied to the price of the stock which they could produce with a stock buyback. The execs and top managers got the benefits, not their employees, whose wages have been dormant compared to the wealth accumulation of the top guys ever since.

Roger. Well, i’m not really convinced that Trump is good for the economy. He is not only a big government man but also a protectionist. Both of them are not very good for the economy. Trump is a big businessman which traditionally has ment crony capitalism and is the enemy of a healthy free-market capitalism. I’m not from US, but I think both Trump and Hillary are terrible candidates for presidency. Add to that the stupid blunders, lies and insults he makes which makes him seem like 15 year old rather than the president of the most important country in the world. There is a difference not being a politically correct and being an idiot.
I’m a skeptic and I think pulling out from the Paris agreement was maybe the only good thing he has done, but i’m not convinced that he is destined to be great or something. Luckily he doesn’t seem to care about ideology and is more pragmatic. So there is always hope.
fredar,
Thanks for your reply.
First of all there are some irregularities in what you say so I hope you will not mind if I point them out.
1. Donald Trump is a big government man.
Donald Trump has promised to embark on a extensive implementation of tax cuts.
For your information, if there is even a significant decrease in taxation, the government shrinks. This is because 1. Fewer government employees are needed in order to spend the taxation. 2. With a fall in tax revenue, whole government department will become redundant. Trump has promised to weed out the most intrusive of these and I believe has already made some progress here.
2. Donald Trump is a protectionist.
Well maybe, but the US is a huge economy and has every imaginable resource and skill within its own borders. What you say about protectionism may be true in the world economy, but the US does not need to care about that. Everything imaginable can be manufactured or grown within the US. Remember they have a multi trillion debt. This is from looking after most of the free world including NATO. The US economy cannot sustain this indefinitely. Trump has clearly stated that he is for the American People and a certain amount of isolationism will do them good. Wont help you and me much though.
3 Lies and insults.
My gosh, he only gives out a fraction of what he receives. I do not think he is a liar by the way, but Barrack Obama has quite a number of serious lies recorded against him and the Democrats and news media did nothing. If I were you I would dismiss the news media and try to look for facts. You can do this by corroberating news with confirming facts.
4. Crony Capitalism.
Economics is my thing, and Donald Trump is the only politician I have ever heard who has stated an economic policy that is standard modern economic thinking. I think he is pretty clued up here and I have never heard a politician that risks a shrinking government just because of economic policies. See 1. above.
5. Idiocy.
You have been watching CNN and co. They and most Democrats and reporters do not even understand how a government can stimulate and economy without more spending, (and taxation). They are completely lost and are simply pushing a far left political agenda.
They even criticise and under report his middle east and european tour where he showed courage and minced no words. I listened to every speech on that tour. Did you?
I think Trump is a breath of fresh air, and the attitude of most media shows how far left the West has slipped in the last 50 years or so.
Yup he is pragmatic and let us hope that trait will eventually get the US Economy going again.
At least we agree some where.
Cheers
Roger
Does a fascist know he’s a fascist?
If a person wants more government control over their lives while wanting it for everybody else in everything they do by regulations and higher taxation, and wants that government to force everybody into compliance by the police state, while silencing any opposition to the agenda…would be along the lines of Fascism if a dictator is elected that ignores all the other mandates of the governing body and their charter like a constitution…would define a Fascist.

They likely look upon themselves as saviors of their people.
Sachs may be on to something. When we talk about mega-scams, for instance, like anthropomorphic climate change, it could be shortened to just a ‘sachs’.
“I was the victim of a sachs, like a billion other people!”
Or, “I was sached, like a billion other people!”
This guy’s been forced to drop back and punt.
Funny. Accurate.
Correction: ““I was the victim of a sachs…” is my comment. Not Kalifornia Kook’s.
So, we now have proof that these U.N. people are not sane ? Or are they just inept liars ?
This guy is just a putz.
And an opportunist. He doesn’t have one science credential under his belt. None. Zero. Zilch.
After destroying Russia (immediately after the fall of the USSR with his misguided and ridick ideas of privatization a la Clinton that impoverished ordinary Russian citizens in a stupendous display of imposed cruelty on ordinary folk), he found the next hot topic he could latch onto and milk. Climate change. He has about as much right to speak about the subject as my three-year-old nephew. [No wonder the Russians adore Putin.]
How he came to be head of the earth sciences thing he runs at Columbia beggars belief. He is a contemptible political hack, and I have felt this way about him since 1996.
Inept liars and sociopaths.
Not a putz nor an inept liar. He is part of a cabal that is attempting a coup against the entire world. Unfortunately, much of the world’s leadership is part of that cabal as well. But I agree with the sociopath part.
What an idiot. Sachs should be investigated under RICO.
If Professor Sachs doesn’t know the difference between a weather event and climate, why does he hold the positions that he does? And if he does know the difference, what a cynical and intentional misuse of his authority. Great virtue signalling to the faithful, though.
HA, ……. Professor Sachs knew exactly what he was doing when he did this, to wit:
Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director of Columbia’s Center for Sustainable Development and of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network …… has published commentary stating that, to wit:
And when a bystander quietly asked Jeffrey Sachs what his reason was for publishing such dastardly devious defaming disinformation about the President of the US, …… his reply was short, sweet and to the point …… to wit:
“Listen you, ….. I get paid a couple hundred thousand a year, plus expenses and entitlements, ….. for doing a good job, ……. and by damn a “good job” is what I am doing.”
How about Megadiasater UN, for the United Nations, not Kim Jung Un.
Like, maybe the US withdrawing from the entire corrupt organization?
I believe the threat of that is what is needed to make the U.N. a little more focused and a lot less political. Their utter lack of economic acumen makes their Socialist stupidities very, very dangerous for the world. Especially the poor people who desperately need cheap energy for development, food production and education.
Just another economist who has never studied a hard science subject.
And doesn’t understand economics either!
SteveT
Then next climate disaster will be the first.
I believe in climate change. I believe in ice ages. I don’t believe we can fossilize the climate.
@ur momisugly Sachs:
http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/Stay-classy.gif
Self projection is all these fragile fools have.
Having been cocooned in their urban habitat all their lives they have no idea that we have weather.
or the classic rule of self projection, if you be an insecure opportunist, you tend to see everyone else as yourself reflected.
Can’t cure stupid.
That is it in a nutshell, “…if you be an insecure opportunist, you tend to see everyone else as yourself reflected…”
I have been following the Comey action today, gleefully. Comey got up today and told us that AG Lynch ordered him to tone down the wording on the Hillary investigation. Comey said he complied against his better judgement, because he did not want to engage Lynch in a battle, the coward. The point being is that once again the false accusations made against Trump for obstruction would directly apply to former AG Lynch. The Dems have actually committed just about every accusation thrown at the Trump administration. It disgusts me to think of what they are doing to this nation and to the world at large with their Orwellian based attack against good men and women.
“Comey got up today and told us that AG Lynch ordered him to tone down the wording on the Hillary investigation.”
The reporters at Circa News said tonight that they have evidence of more meetings between Comey and Attorney General Lynch that they are going to be making public over the next few weeks.
The Democrats have been pushing this Trump investigation for all it is worth, but there is a good chance this is all going to come back to bite them. One new investigation of Hillary is already being taken up by the congress. Many more to come. And as revelations become public, the Special Counsel may see some of these things and enter their own investigations of Hillary and the Obama administration.
The Special Counsel said today they hope to wrap this current investigation up within three months. Good luck with that! There are a lot more past Democrat illegal actions that need to be investigated.
That sounds like much more direct perversion of the course of justice than Trump “hoping”.
I listened to half of today’s hearing. One interesting question asked of Comey was “Have you ever heard of anyone ever being prosecuted for “hoping” something. That was a terrific question to which Comey had to answer “No”. The climate has indeed changed, and it only took a couple of hours. That is certainly unprecedented.
What about the meeting between ex-pres Clinton with Lynch on the tarmac? What was that about, sharing selfies ?!
@ur momisugly TA…I just heard that regarding Lynch/Comey and more to the story. Also, some are now asking why is there even going to be a special counsel. This is really getting interesting. I agree with you that the left wingnuts are about to get sheared.
I would not be surprised either if the public starts voicing strong dismay at the level of propaganda/lies which the media have inundated the nation with for many months now. I even heard a bit by Chris Matthews who finally voiced thoughts suggesting that the entire story has holes through out. That was amazing on its own. Imagine Chris Matthews questioning his Democrat overlords.
“What about the meeting between ex-pres Clinton with Lynch on the tarmac? ”
According to Hillary they were talking about golf and grandchildren but the NSA says that they cannot release a transcript because of national security concerns.
Makes perfect sense. /sarc
Comey declared in his October statement that while Hillary had broken many laws when she set up her private e-mail server, since she didn’t mean to break the laws, he wasn’t going to prosecute her.
I think I’ll use that excuse next time I get caught running a stop sign.
Lol, MarkW — And I am going to just fill out my income tax return however I want to without checking the Code (that way, I can say I had no idea that deduction wasn’t allowed). lolololol
A minor erratum: Jared Kushner, not Trump. Invanka Trump uses her maiden name.
Damn, Ivanka not Invanka
I merely see that as a ‘Freudian Slip’.
And one I’d probably make as well.
And Ivanka is the President’s daughter, not his wife.
Who’s on first?
It’s not about global warming / climate change. The claim to want to save the world has always been used as a guise by those who want to rule the world.
DICED is UN’s Environmental Constitution for the World and our own Constitution Will Be Diced
The Covenant’s 79 articles, described in great detail in 242 pages, take Sustainable Development principles described in Agenda 21 and transform them into global law, which supersedes all constitutions including the U.S. Constitution.
All signatory nations, including the U.S., would become centrally planned, socialist countries in which all decisions would be made within the framework of Sustainable Development.
In collaboration with Earth Charter and Elizabeth Haub Foundation for Environmental Policy and Law from Canada, the Covenant was issued by the International Council on Environmental Law (ICEL) in Bonn, Germany, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with offices in Gland, Switzerland and Cambridge, UK.

Now Pushing U.N. Agenda 2030 with Social Engineering of the Elderly
The Paris Climate Agreement signed in 2016 by 178 countries, the same nations that ratified the 1992 U.N. Agenda 21, was touted as an “incredible achievement.” According to Dr. Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center in Denmark, “the Paris Agreement will cost a fortune, but do little to reduce global warming.

United Nations is a dangerous construction.
A global agreement that is symmetric in all ways, across all countries of the world, is somehow a trick(my underline).
OK prof Sachs, how is an agreement that allows China and India permission to continue to surpass the US in CO2 and continue increasing until 2030, while the US has to start immediately to reduce below 2005 levels symmetrical?!?
Somehow “<" formatting did not take.
If you were trying to underline with the “<" formatting, WordPress just plain doesn't have it.
because each country gets to choose the size of the voluntary reductions. The USA chose to reduce its
emissions immediately, China and India chose not to. The USA has the same freedom as every other country to choose its targets.
Geronimo —
Are you implying that O’Bummer is an idiot who made a bad deal for the US? That seems to be what you are saying.
And even worse — tell me which way the money flows — from whom to whom? Both China and India both expect to be payed while not reducing their emissions. Don’t you understand that?
Don’t reduce emissions = get payed big bucks.
Reduce emissions = pay out big bucks.
Eugene WR Gallun
US commits to cuts emissions , China commits to increase theirs.
US pays billions per year into a climate slush fund with not legal oversight. This is given to banks in other countries so that they loan it to poor people for interest.
don’t you understand what the word “symmetry” means ? It means the same on both …. errm … sides. 🙁
The Paris Accord is a non-binding voluntary agreement in which each country gets to chose independentantly what reductions if any they want to make. The fact that it is so flexible is why all but two countries signed up to it.
The green climate fund is competely different. But again all contributions are voluntary and no one is forcing the US to pay anything into it. Currently the US have pledged $3 billion in total. Of which they have only actually paid $500 million.
Confusing the two leads to confusion and mistakes. For instance the green climate fund cannot be used as an argument for or against leaving the Paris Accord because the two are completely seperate.
The wording of the Paris Agreement implies that emissions targets can be changed, but only increases to the target not decreases. Obviously, this has not been tested and now the US won’t need to, having pulled out.
SteveT
The “symmetry” is that every country got to pick their own goals. The fact that the US administration in power picked different goals then the PRC or India was just free choice.
(Do I need a \sarc?)
Does the title of “Sustainable Development” really imply an IQ under 50?
Why don’t they just rename Sandy as Superstorm Jeffrey Sachs? What an idiot. How did he get as far as he did in the climate world? Or any world?
Great idea, only leave out “super”.
How about “Sachs storm, Jeffrey danger level”?
Let’s call the next war not prevented by the UN “The War of Sachs”
Let’s call the next famine not prevented by the UN “The Sachs Famine”
Let’s call the next refuge crisis not solved by the UN “The Sachs Refuge Crisis”

Nonsense.
I suppose you haven’t see the pollution China or India, or even Russia is causing. The US is cleaning up its act; the aforementioned are still wallowing in their mire.

Out of the UN…now!
FOAD, Jeffrey. Loser.
The utter arroganc, of these bloviating wealth redistributing, poor people killing, bureaucratic jackasses is simply amazing.
Jeffrey Sachs is one of the reasons I did not renew a subscription to Scientific American magazine.
Same here. . You beat me to the punch.
