| Trump Blamed For Global Warming |

| Drudge headline, not mine, although the article's intent is perfectly clear (and chock full of shit). [Phys.org] US President Donald Trump's pullout from the Paris Agreement will push up global temperatures nearly half a degree Celsius (0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100, according to a report released Wednesday at UN climate talks in Bonn. If all countries‐including the United States‐honour carbon-cutting pledges under the 196-nation treaty, the world would see 2.8 C of global warming above pre-industrial levels, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) research group had previously calculated. That is not nearly good enough to avoid climate catastrophe, scientists say. I've been following this crap for approximately forty years. It was every bit as alarmist, hysterical and flat out unpersuasive then as it is now. |

| #6 Spurious Precision A term any real scientist would understand. However, these are not real scientists. |

| #5 US President Donald Trump's pullout from the Paris Agreement will push up global temperatures nearly half a degree Celsius (0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100 Egad! That's an average of 0.00602409639 degrees Celsius a year from now til then! We're doomed. And of course, extrapolation is always the best way to predict the future. |

| #4 Someone in FB whined about how he caused the problems there after the hurricane. I asked them if it was really wise to piss of someone who can cause CAT 5 Hurricanes... |

| #3 Another thing that is never explained - why a slight warming trend is a bad thing. It seems to me that a cursory review of climate history shows that global cooling and the resulting ice ages are far worse and destructive than a 0.9 F rise over the next 83 years. |

| #1 So the fact that we're not freezing our asses off is PRESIDENT Trump's? Is there anything he can't do? |
