Trump's failure to fight climate change is a crime against humanity
CNN ^ | October 18, 2018 | By Jeffrey Sachs

Posted on 10/19/2018 6:52:39 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Rick Scott, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and others who oppose action to address human-induced climate change should be held accountable for climate crimes against humanity. They are the authors and agents of systematic policies that deny basic human rights to their own citizens and people around the world, including the rights to life, health, and property. These politicians have blood on their hands, and the death toll continues to rise.

Trump and his minions are the loyal servants of the fossil-fuel industry, which fill Republican party campaign coffers. Trump has also stalled the fight against climate change by pulling out of the Paris Agreement. The politicians thereby deprive the people of their lives and property out of profound cynicism, greed, and willful scientific ignorance.

The huge bills for Hurricanes Florence and Michael will now start rolling in: funerals, suffering, sorting through debris, and perhaps $30 billion in losses that could have been reduced dramatically through science-based planning and foresight. The American people are paying a heavy cost for the cynicism and cruelty of politicians in the pocket of the fossil-fuel industry. It is time to hold these reckless politicians to account.

50,000,000 Americans dead is a small drop in the bucket compared to what they want.

My favorite way to shut up climatists™ is to ask them these two simple question: Has the earth has seen it’s last ice age? Has man broken the climate cycle forever?

The economist weighs in as an expert in science, fails miserably.

Trump can singlehandedly stop climate change? By doing what exactly?

By clapping for Tinkerbell.

Trump's refusal to fight climate change is a stand against insanity.

Has CNN ever said a single positive thing about president Trump? They are 100% negative all the time.

CNN has zero credibility.

His big deal is transfer payments to poor countries, not prevention of climate change.

So Sachs is saying that, if the US didn't pull out of the Paris Climate Accord, we wouldn't have had Hurricanes Florence and Michael?

Progs like lax drug enforcement.

They should readily embrace cheap, OTC fentanyl in EU, China and India

A organization who represents itself as a news source but is in fact a purveyor of misinformation and lies commits crimes against humanity.
