This is encouraging news:
The Trump administration will reverse course from previous Obama administration policy, eliminating climate change from a list of national security threats. The National Security Strategy to be released on Monday will emphasize the importance of balancing energy security with economic development and environmental protection, according to a source who has seen the document and shared excerpts of a late draft.
“Climate policies will continue to shape the global energy system,” a draft of the National Security Strategy slated to be released on Monday said. “U.S. leadership is indispensable to countering an anti-growth, energy agenda that is detrimental to U.S. economic and energy security interests. Given future global energy demand, much of the developing world will require fossil fuels, as well as other forms of energy, to power their economies and lift their people out of poverty.”
…
President Obama made climate change, and the burdensome regulations that accompany its focus, a primary focus of his administration, including in his National Security Strategy released in 2015. “[W]e are working toward an ambitious new global climate change agreement to shape standards for prevention, preparedness, and response over the next decade,” that report said.
“In some ways, [climate change] is akin to the problem of terrorism and ISIL,” Obama said at climate talks in Paris in 2015. During a weekly address, Obama said “Today, there is no greater threat to our planet than climate change.”
In September 2016, President Obama released a memorandum requiring federal agencies to consider the effects of climate change in the development of national security-related doctrine, policies, and plans. All of this alarmed critics concerned with more pressing security risks.
Buh-bye!

UPDATE: This is what the National Security Strategy said in 2010, when “climate change” first appeared in it. It was mentioned 28 times in the document.

Finally, sanity prevails. This announcement is more than welcome.
Trump is just dismantling Obama’s agenda. I love it!
Yep! Good riddance to bad garbage. When first elected Trump declared that all agencies would have to eliminate two regulations for every new one put in place. An article a little while back said the actual count was running more like 16 eliminated for every one added – and this is a VERY good turn of events!!! That, and Congress and Trump have eliminated a bunch of other Obama regs that were pushed through last minute in Obama’s last year also. May this trend continue!!!
Actually, Rational Db8, the count the other day was 22 eliminated for each added:

Of course, to the Communist News Network, that clearly was something evil…
Thank God, we have the leader of the Free World(AMERICA) w/ common sense…Thank you very much, President Trump..you are so on the right side!
“Climate Change”,animal rights,gay/lesbo/transvestite rights,wealthy, vs. middle income, vs. “poor” and every sub group and absurd cause are nothing more than vehicles for the Demo-marxist to use in attempts to divide the citizens against each other and subjugate the whole of the country.
USA already has an income tax law, which is not being followed.
Look it up…
“exempt income means any income” (use quotes)
“income that is not considered tax exempt”

That’s probably all it really is for you. The country could go to hell and you’d be happy because it undid something Obama did. I guess that’s why Republicans are known as fake patriots as well.
Michael, Republicans are known as “fake patriots” only to your own fetid self. Yes, it is gratifying to see President Trump (how I love the sound of that!) meticulously and methodically eliminating every trace of that despicable Marxist traitor’s so-called “legacy.” The Democrats might learn something by this; namely never to elect an anti-American, race-baiting ideologue to stick a finger in the eye of real Americans. But I doubt it. The Democrats are the modern face of communism. Bring back the HUAC!
Amen! I’m loving it too! There will be nothing left of the Worst President Ever! Merry Christmas!!!
…and making America Great Again ! Just as he promised….
Michael it’s only going to hell for you.

“sanity prevails”
And still the statists say President Trump is crazy.
Had conversation with a psychologist friend of mine a few years ago.
Asked him what effect it would have on the mind of children under the age
of 18 if all their teachers told them the sky was green.
Of course he had no answer. But he’s a statist.
Well you know that opposing the Establishment is by definition, Crazy. The Establishment says so.
Without a concerted and sustained effort, the Deep State will continue to prevail, wws.
The swamp (Repuubs/Dems) protects,promotes, encourages big government. The Northeast colleges have degrees for people, who have neither the creativity or adequate intelligence needed for the real world, to become denizens of the swamp.
WWS
Sorry but I don’t determine a person’s sanity by what someone else says. I do it based on the personal observations I have made, not the observations that someone else has made.
Only the far left MSM says Trump is crazy….But then again,they still have Hillary.. UP BY 10!
When the economy soars and people in Detroit and Cleveland are going back to work, Trump and his party will easily be reelected. Hilary and Obama tried to kill the American economy with their anti business polices, never in history has the middle class had the degree of suffering. Trump may go down as loud and obnoxious but his policies are fantastic for the USA…Finally!
Biased, Politically motivated Liberal Scum who have no right to diagnose Trump have said that. The frauds should lose the licenses. But that is the evil of Liberalism.
Thank You President Trump! Now if you could do something about the Bird Killing Windmills that are as dumb as the electric wind-up golf cart cars. Or maybe just cut any government funding for them. Please do not spend my tax-dollars on that crap. If they are such a good idea let the liberals invest their own money on them.
Also the fact that each windmill can cost well over a million dollars and the ones near where I live cost $1.37 million each and require $20,000 plus in maintenance every 2 years! It takes them over 137 years to pay for themselves in terms of the electricity they generate. Only a lib would back such folly!
Big Amen!!! I hate those bird killing ugly windmills that can never justify a cost benefit. They are just corporate welfare for Obama cronies. Time for America and it’s citizens to grow up.
Greg. All we would have to do is have the Gov’t dis-continue subsidizes for this idiotic program and it would die a quick, not slow, death
Bird killers ? Those were the old fast moving… all have been redesigned…. Return on investment of 137 years ? Where did you get that number ? Lots of things go into that calculation, biggest one, how far does the power have to be transferred to be used ? Some times it is a negative ROI, not always – http://www.renewablesfirst.co.uk/windpower/windpower-learning-centre/what-would-the-return-on-investment-be-from-a-farm-wind-turbine-2/
If renewable energy is such a silver bullet, let the market decide. Keep the tax payer’s taxes out of subsidies of nice sounding utopian ideas. Then, the concept will live or die on its own merits. Obama did the “investment” approach with Solyndra and numerous other renewable energy gambits, and everyone of them failed…government forced outcomes never work…costing the taxpayers billions. He advertised this as investing in renewable energy, but it was really a payback for several big donors (check the all the key names involved) to his campaigns. Renewable energy was only a vehicle not a solution to a problem.
Summer is stifling in the swamp, I suggest Trump write an executive order outlawing AC in All government buildings except the White House. It used to be that Washington nearly closed down in the summer months due to this blessing.
Pilot Dave
Sadly it seems that at times many Conservatives act like liberals and comment without knowing the facts or accepting the facts from the fake news media. While not the most financially efficient way to generate electrical power, somewhat like solar power, the wind powered generators do have their place in the overall scope of providing electrical power. Some of our conservative friends however seem to have bought into the panic and fear mongering ‘facts’ and tactics and thus spew out statements that have no basis in real fact. Per the comic strip Pogo, “I has seed da enemy an day is us.”
Greg,
You can over do the bird killing angle. The utility I work for owns the second largest amount of wind generation in the country. Avian fatalities average under 10 a year.
If you want to argue about need for renewable or cost per kWh, find. Just be careful about false claims.
There are good to be put everywhere except off the coast of Nantucket. Can’t mess with the view of the Kennedy’s you know! Hypocrite scumbags!
Thorium energy is the answer to most of our problems. I have been following YouTube on video’s on thorium this four minute video will get you started Thorium Energy in 4 Minutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6BXvw6mxtw) They have hours of video’s that cover how it been pass over. It is political and corporations lining their pockets. The whole world would not need oil or coal for energy. I have to get off my soap box basically we are being scam by out leaders.
For eight years, a country wondering aimlessly in the wilderness, kneeling and kowtowing to the whims of petty dictators, Arab Kings and the Socialists of the world. Now we have an adult in charge. America first, everyone else second, a great country again…
Trump kneels to Putin far more than Obama knelt to any foreign leaders. The rest of the world is laughing at the US for our foolishness in electing him. Get a passport and go see for yourself.
Chris. You are delusional at best and a parrot of MSM hype. We’ve all seen where Obama bowed to other countries leaders as if he was not their equal and they were superior. We have Obama’s open mic comments where he said that after he was reelected they (he and Putin) would have more time to talk. We also have Secretary of State Clinton’s reset button kowtowing to Putin’s regime. Obama’s “Apologies Tour” made the USA the laughing stock and you cannot seriously think that gave us a great standing in the world. World leaders need to talk to eachother or at lease get along to some degrees on issues. With Candidate Trump saying Putin was a great leader is not saying they are “in bed together” as the leftist media painted that image. Trump was saying Putin was looking after Russian interests that is what all countries leaders should be doing…as Trump said during his campaign and as President. And I expect you to use your twisted logic to not understand this. That is how hatred blinds people from processing opposing information through irrationality. That applies to AGW and CC too.
ROFLMAO,
You have a strange far-left imagination, Chris.
Trump and Putin actually respect each other, and will be able to work well together to bring down the leftist globalist push. (try not to cry as the agenda is slowly destroyed, Chris)
Obama was the one that Putin thought of as a weak insignificant little do-nothing loudmouth joke..
Chrissy~ take your sour grapes elsewhere. We’re WINNING.
8 years “in our face”, but decades in semi shadows before obama.
That “Chris” fella—is the lack of reality that pours from our schools today. No offense Chris. We just went to different schools. One was freedom, the other one rules.
Bingo!!!!
This is why the lies that promoted AGW matter. Obama et al were intending to ruin our economy based on what everyone knows is a lie.
Every AGW prediction has happened. Yet still they persist. And, people believe them
Opps, that should have been every agw claim hasn’t happened
Sanity? Nice try.
“SIR DONALD TRUMP” IS THE BEST THING FOR OUR COUNTRY SINCE BAKED BREAD!
THANK YOU LORD FOR HIS CREATION!!
Bye bye Liberals…..suck up our dust! Merry Christmas to all Americans.
Liberalism, the DemocRAT party, and the media should be named national security threats along with communism, Islam, illegal immigration, MS-13 and Obamic terrorism.
Amen to that. It is all communist based and is the gravest threat to the US than has ever truly existed.
Named or not, a rapidly growing number of voting citizens are recognizing the toxicity of them.
They are showing it every day now.
Soooo right my friend. And their socialist agenda. That is the biggest threat to the security of the U.S. and hence the world. Spend the country into oblivion and our country cannot help itself let alone any other country in the world. We will no longer be the world’s police force. The world devolves into chaos and war. Because stupid demon-crats and their dumb-o-crat followers.
Talk straight from a page of the Nazi Party.
Amen
All “global warming” (now “climate change”) is, is a sucker scam to eventually collect a worldwide carbon tax from everyone, effectively eliminating our right to decide anything about our lives. Things like air conditioning, the ability to keep our homes at a comfortable temperature, what cars we drive, and on and on will be gone. It is a globalist scheme to further take rights away from public citizens, and get rich in the meantime for those at the top of the globalist pyramid. People need to read more and not believe the swill that is now taught for truth in the schools and in the media.
Agreed.
Climate change, sure.
Absolutely agree…..also, nice having a POTUS again that does not grovel at the feet of Middle East Royalty!
Amen!
OK to still say Amen in the USA?
Yes! Now that Hillary is rapidly becoming only a bad memory!
Finally bravo Mr. Trump! Too bad up here in Canada we are paying 5% for a carbon tax .. plus another 5% increase next year! LOL What a complete Joke… Climate Change??!!? Just another TAX … for the brain washed People LOL …
If anyone is interested in where obama got this insane notion about climate change and national threat it come from the fact that the continent of Africa suffers with the ever increasing lack of fresh clean drinking water, supposedly from climate change. But, instead of attacking the suffering head on this idiot attempted to change the course of an entire nation to combat the problem. Exactly the reason why the founding fathers prohibited a foreign national from becoming president.
So much for all the extra busy work for the Federal bureaucracy!
Still eating that elephant!
Good news.
have any of you wondered want line of business some of these retired military officers get into? a few years ago I noticed that lots of gov’t money can be handed out to the companies these guys work for. most of the services would be in the nature of moving “aid” to areas through out the world which “may” be affected by some/any/kind-a-sort-a man made world event.
Ike warned us of the Military-Industrial complex. Few listened.
What of his “Academic Industrial Complex,” Lee?
What, in your mind, do retired military officers have to do with the globalist tyrants deceitful efforts to steal our money and take away our freedom?
The climate change vampire just took a stake to the heart. Three cheers!
But like a zombie.. it may come back out of the grave.
All government offices** have had filing cabinets, and now digital files, where bad ideas go to wait.
**Climate research center data files seem to be an exception.
Zombies… don’t they eat human brains? Is that a potential explanation for some of the consensorati publications?
It’s worse than horrible…
Alternatively, Climate Change is like a Christmas pantomime and the evil witch has just appeared again on stage, cue ritual response from the audience.
Oh no it isn’t !!!
@1saveenergy
Oh yes it is !! Look behind you!
No, fight and reverse the EPA endangerment finding.
That would drive the stake. Without reversal, it is too easy for a future president to so and revive the whole beast.
This is what Sessions at Justice should be working on.
Sanity and humanity!
Agree.
CO2 is not a pollutant. Reverse that unilateral EPA decision and they have no authority to regulate it in any way.
By all means, we should reverse the endangerment finding, for sure. But THEN also we need to withdraw the USA from the UN’s Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). That would also functionally withdraw the USA from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as well. That would do much more to drive some nails into the coffin of publicly funded indoctrination in CO2-based climate change hysteria. It might keep all teat-sucking, trough-slurping zombie vampires from rising from the grave, at least for a little while.
This announcement buys us 3-7 yrs to put a stake through it. Until we reduce the power and corruption of the federal beasts, CAGW authoritarianism is an election away…
So when are they going to “offer” Gavin Schmidt early retirement?
I think the best thing they could do is also ask Gavin privately to predict what the global (UAH satellite) temperature anomaly will be 10 and 20 years after he retires. Then add the caveat that if his prediction is correct within a range of, say +/- 0.1 Celsius, his pension will be increased ten fold. If he is incorrect and misses the target badly (by, say, more than +/- 0.5 degrees on a running mean of ~5 years) then his pension will be halved, or worse.
Other prominent climateers should also be made similar offers, with appropriate adjustments where necessary. The answers would probably cause many politicians eyes to widen.
At the moment I see no real incentive for Gavin and Climate Inc. to be accurate and truthful, even with themselves. Nor is there any penalty for dishonesty or gross professional incompetence. The returns on such an investment could be of enormous benefit to the public purse and government policies. It could also go some way towards rescuing science in Universities and public institutions.
Incentives do concentrate the mind. +1.
If Algore were forced to be accurate with his predictions or else have his income cut, he would be paying us.
The real issue everyone is missing. We are always going to have Obamas and Clintons running for office. The problem are the outright fools that keep voting for them. After all PROOF that “man made” global warming/climate change is a hoax, there still millions of idiots who believe it. These people fall for every charlatan and scam that comes their way and “EVERYONE” of US has to pay the price for their gullibility and stupidity. It isn’t republicans VS democrats, it is the sane VS the insane. We must find a way to stop these idiot morons from wrecking our country. No one understands that if Trump had lost the election it would have meant the end of the USA as sovereign nation. The United States is overpopulated with domestic enemies hell bent on our destruction. They are the biggest threat to national security the US has, or will ever face.
Yeah, there are a lot of people in this country who are trying to undermine the U.S., for various reasons.
The Radical Left won’t be happy until all vestiges of the old United States are gone. To the radical Left, the U.S. is the focus of evil in the world, and they feel no loyalty to it. Don’t ask me how they became so delusional. It would take a book’s worth of writing to explain.
Draugr,
“The real issue everyone is missing. We are always going to have Obamas and Clintons running for office. The problem are the outright fools that keep voting for them.”
Who can blame them, with so many ostensibly “sane” people constantly telling them that such con artists are “socialists” and the like, deeply dedicated to ideologies they really believe will make things better for the less well off?
I say, stop helping them with their BS/propaganda, and call them out as self interested con artists merely posing as “socialists” because that form of well honed BS/propaganda appeals to many people who don’t know any better . . I mean, unless you actually believe they abhor wealth and power in the hands of a few elites who are above the law and such . . ; )
It was always delusional to believe climate change would have any effect on national security. Hitler/atilla the hun, william the conquer, Mao, pol pot, ida amin, punic wars, the crusades –
all caused by climate change?
Hmmm.
Why were Attila the Hun and Winnie the Pooh related?
Same middle name.
Auto
Enjoy – or Sorry, of course.
Along with Pizza the Hut…………
and Jabber the Wocky.
What about Smokey the Bear?
Do not leave out the one most appropriate “The” of our times. WTF?
Attila very probably was caused by the climate cooling…
The prolonged drought in Syria might have been an effect of climate change. If there is a scrum for resources because crops won’t grow you got a security threat. When Florida and Louisiana are under water from sea level rise you’ll have to worry about all those hungry and well armed hillbillies invading neighboring states.
Uff da. So a drought somewhere is the cause of the CO2 molecule and nothing else and if we would have just stopped using fossil fuels the drought would not have happened? Is that what I am reading from your, um…er…post?
Say, do you suppose maybe Turkey building that huge dam across one of Syria’s MAJOR water supplies could have played a role?
Draugr: Your proposal to educate people on the truth about climate change is sabotaged by the fact that the public schools teach it. Consequently, the sheeple graduating perpetuate the lie.
.
The climate IS changing…everyday…always does…..always will….
I never said anything about educating the truly stupid “liberals.” I have no plan to try and educate the mentally deficient. Yes, there is a plan but it is not trying to educate apes to recognize fact from fiction. That would be an insane act. You either have sufficient intelligence or you do not. Those who do not serve a purpose other than being a continuous drain upon society will not be tolerated.
“Draugr: Your proposal to educate people on the truth about climate change is sabotaged by the fact that the public schools teach it. Consequently, the sheeple graduating perpetuate the lie.”
I’m sure you know this, but some things need repeating. The main issue is that the schools teach the bad side that is mostly lacking in facts and are made up gibberish. They do not teach the good things of climate changes or the gross benefits of increasing CO2 in the environment…because it is demonized under false assumptions of causing global warming and therefore climate changes. What we have today are the second and third generations of teachers that learned from their teachers, and with each new generation the lie has grown like gossip/rumor mongering does. The worse part of it all is that these schools will not allow opposing opinions by anybody to contradict what they teach.
I’ve stated this before. But, we need a venue that gets the message out – like a TV station – that has shows presented by known scientists that will explain the opposition’s side. Radio just cannot present evidence that visuals can.
Well done President Trump. His pragmatic Scottish blood prevails.
Like everything else, US national security was hijacked by the green movement. Perhaps now the US armed forces and associated organisations can get back to doing what they should be doing, protecting the US from military threats like NK.
Projections of the timing of CAGW are far beyond military (or economic) planning horizons. Spending scarce resources on far-out “projections” is insanity. [I like far-out.]
The only thing the U.S. military has to pay attention to with regard to “Climate Change” is the sea levels rising at their military bases.
Sea levels are not increasing as a result of humans burning CO2, but they are increasing naturally as a result of the world warming up from the last ice age, and the U.S. military does have some problems with encroaching water at some of their bases but the reasons for the encroachment is because the land is sinking, not that sea levels are going crazy.
Any sea level rises at our military bases can be compensated for by reconfiguring the problem areas.
With living standards around the world improving, the oceans are going to be fished out long before the earth warms up a degree of two.
Or having the funds to teach sailors how to avoid big commercial shipping.
Cutting funds to the U.S. military like Obama and the Democrats and Republicans in Congress did was very destructive to U.S. readiness. A report just this week was questioning whether the U.S. military has the capability to meet all our defense requirements because of the drastic cuts the U.S. military has suffered over the years.
Trump is trying to fix this by increasing the military budget to $700 billion, if he can get the Congress to agree to do away with the sequester rule. I wonder how the Democrats will vote on this issue this time.
Or farming fish instead.
Maybe half. The name Trump is Germanic.
if that’s all trump ever does, it’s enough to canonize him.
don’t expect he’ll receive any nobel peace prize.
and so many parisites will have to sate their voracious appetites on each other.
please note THERE WAS NO FREAKIN DEBATING.
he just said no, hell no, nope and NO. period.
How refreshing to have a president who actually delivers on his campaign promises.
How refreshing it is to have a president who lives in the real world.
Delusional presidents like Barrack Obama are detrimental to the future of the United States and the World. Trump is going to spend most of his first term cleaning up these delusional Obama mistakes. And is doing a pretty good job of it so far, I might add.
The spin-off might be that other countries might say, well, erm, wot’s the threat to us!? Sea level rise? Wot are the facts!? Is it getting hotter- where is my padded jacket ? Even the British CCC can one hope?
Pray that sea levels continue to rise.
If you don’t know why I say that, SkS is the site for you.
The sea levels aren’t rising. The liberals cheated on the measurements. Where have you been?
If sea levels are not rising, we are entering a new glacial period.
Is a mile high pile of ice over our northern tier States a good thing?
Sea-levels are still rising, in most places, very slowly (avg. approx. six inches per century).
http://sealevel.info/120-022_Wismar_2017-01_150yrs_annot1.png
The graphic shows no correlation between sea level rising and CO2. The fact that underwater volcanic activity changes the sea floor would be more accurate. The submarine San Francisco hit a mountain under the water because its mapping wasn’t updated.
You are correct, Scat, that the graph shows no correlation between CO2 level and rate of sea-level rise.
Sea-level is nevertheless still rising, very slowly, in most places. (It is falling in some.)
I don’t know what your point is about underwater volcanic activity. It has no significant effect on sea-level.

One can hope about Britain.
I cross my fingers, too – and have little faith in the present population of professional political prostitutes – is that correct?; possibly previously-enjoyed pretenders?

Auto, perhaps this speech by Oliver Cromwell is in tune should be repeated in parliament today?
Speech
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not barter’d your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defil’d this sacred place, and turn’d the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redress’d, are yourselves gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!

Too bad he couldn’t drain the swamp.
Give President Trump some time; he has made a start.
Walk down any street in London and Britain looks like a third world country now….
Demography explains everything, Richard. As long as fuc*ing is more popular than dying, the “unwashed masses” will take over.
Luckily, I made mine and ensured my children’s wellbeing. Future generations will have to deal with Third World politics and Sharia Law on their own. Not my problem.
Now fire all the senior officers who supported such nonsense.
I wouldn’t necessarily fire them but I would take them out of positions of authority. Military people can sometimes be just as delusional as anyone. Not all generals win their battles.
No real “draining the swamp” can occur if not from the barrel of a gun.
Draugr, not funny at all.
This is so very wrongheaded. You see, just the other day there was a cloud, now I don’t know whether it was a cumulus or a cirrus cloud, but there was a cloud outside with a suicide vest strapped on and attempting to blow up the municipal building. Think of that. And those clouds are all around us. Dark, dark, dark sinister clouds. Gosh, people are right about what an idiot Trump is not to recognize this threat the way Obama did.
believe that was really your evil sister :>)
Suicide drone clouds designed in N. Korea, manufactured in China, sold from Taiwan.
Why a dark cloud are you a Cloudacist ?
It’s actually better that you didn’t distinguish whether it was a cumulus or a cirrus cloud. That would have been profiling.
It optically active gaseous gas diversity.
Immediately fire all political appointees not appointed by President Trump.
Immediately transfer all Senior Executive Service people to positions where they can do no harm to President Trump. HR seems like the current dumping ground for Deep State operatives caught attempting to torpedo President Trump.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Merry Xmas!!!
Yes, David; that is quite the Christmas present President Trump gave rational people!
Only Trump would say…Merry Christmas….Not Merry Xmas….!
‘Xmas’ actually dates back to the beginning of printing in the 1400s. Words were expensive. Many were shortened.
“Words were expensive. Many were shortened.”
The original form of “texting” 🙂
Good deal, way to go Mr. Trump! 👍🏻
“Climate policies will continue to shape the global energy system…”
Daphuk does that even mean? There’s a “global energy system”? Is there a “global economics system” and a “global education system” as well? How about a “global food system”? “Climate policies” eh? Whatever those are, under Trump, they no longer apply, unless Drill Baby Drill qualifies.
I am beginning to love this president. Now if he would tweet something about it so that the press will stampede after this story like cats to a laser pointer.
Winning, winning, winning… It’s all he ever does. I’m getting sick of the Left’s complaints!
I’m not! It’s like Cru for the ears!!
If the Left is complaining, that means Trump and the US are winning.
Ha Ha Ha! Cats to a laser pointer… that’s funny. ha Ha Ha!

Simon, buying climate scientists (the irony burns) is cheap. It is the massive costs associated with fundamentally altering our society, economy and energy systems that hurt.
Is there anyone on this Thread that believes those costs are justified by the IPCC climate models? Those models are the basis of all the ensuing clisci speculation nonsense.
Doesn’t that mean French climate scientists will experience foreigners usurping French funding? How do you thing these foreigners will handle the French sarcasm?
The Great National Delusion is still being indoctrinated throughout the school system and widely disseminated by all forms of media.
