The climate has changed over the centuries. However, the effects of it were not so pronounced given there were far fewer people on the planet. As we have increased earth's population even an idiot like Trump must be able to understand it will have an impact and that impact needs to be minimized because it will compound the change of climate which occurs naturally. the decision to deny climate change is simply a way for corporations to not have to spend money on protecting the earth. its all about corporate greed. protecting the environment means we have clean earth to grow food, clean water to drink, and clean air to breath. Haven't the republicans see the air in Beijin lately. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-30899557013334140132017-03-26T06:53:08.765-04:002017-03-26T06:53:08.765-04:00Is Truth Dead?

But California set the emition standard and countries like Germany and others invested deeply in research of fuel injection and catalytic converters ect. I find it difficult to believe the world is going to turn back now. Though I do enjoy my 63 year old 1055 cc gas guzzler. It can still do more than 60 but only gets less gas mileage of today's cars with over 150 hp. I could supercharge it but it's fuel economy would be even worse and the time between rebuilds minuscule.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-69411728964434729412017-03-25T13:22:45.284-04:002017-03-25T13:22:45.284-04:00Hi Simon, please do.

And if all his insane plans have anything in common is the absolute lack of any empathy for those affected by them. For Trump Obamacare is a mere political calculation, and the pain of the poor who depend on it doesn't seem to register. But while it's hard to quantify pain, climate change is becoming more and more of a threat, and if Trump thinks he can get away with sabotaging any efforts to fight it, he will pay a big price. When the sea gets angry, we should all be worried....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-14698628776692552532017-03-25T10:20:03.346-04:002017-03-25T10:20:03.346-04:00hi anon 4:22...Ryan may have been the frontman and...hi anon 4:22...Ryan may have been the frontman and Breitbart's favourite scapegoat, but Trump is the president, he talked a lot about Obamacare during the campaign, so he must share the blame for the whole debacle...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-50690164145679932752017-03-25T10:17:52.922-04:002017-03-25T10:17:52.922-04:00hi Gyor...

As well as failing to understand how strong is the resistance from the Koch brothers and other extreme right-wingers, to any kind of moderate reforms. And lastly but not leastly I don't think Trump cares much about what happens to healthcare in the U.S. He's made it pretty clear that he would rather focus on tax breaks for the rich. Bad healthcare can kill the poor, but profits are sacred....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-88542731625059520542017-03-25T06:30:27.967-04:002017-03-25T06:30:27.967-04:00http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2017/03/24/tru...http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2017/03/24/trump-blames-democrats-for-trumpcare-implosion.htmlDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-79690162597303177382017-03-25T06:25:57.516-04:002017-03-25T06:25:57.516-04:00How many Americans could receive free healthcare, ...How many Americans could receive free healthcare, and for how many years, if Trump diverted that 50 billion dollars away from the Pentagon budget???Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630890163958807048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-10244414884763551882017-03-25T00:00:37.080-04:002017-03-25T00:00:37.080-04:00Simon, I just wanted to give you the heads up.

Weird thought, but is it possible that he made his bill so horrible that even many Republicans would reject it, because he really didn't want to get rid of Obamacare, but wanted someone else to blame for backing away from repealing it? <br /><br /> I ask because I find making sense of Trump's actions difficult.
