Your statement is a lie.
You have no proof he has those stocks, and reason to believe he sold them, but made the claim anyways.


how about YOUR statement is a lie? you have no proof he sold them but claim my statement is a lie anyways. goes both ways, you know? double standard?

Calling it a "problem with exact wording" is an interesting way of not recognizing your false statements when called on it.
You continue to fearmonger with emotional statements not based in reality. Take a breath and calmly think about it.


making unverifiable claims in order to call mine a lie, classic trumpapologist really. how about YOU take a breath and try to focus on the issues for once, and not your excuses to ignore them?


do you see a problem with his massive scaling back on environmental protection or not? is it a danger for our future in your opinion or not?
do you really think he needs to loosen environmental protection to defend the american economy against the evil chinese, who invented man made climate change? don't you think the jobs created by supporting conventional energy companies like that while destroying our environment could not be created by focusing on making alternative energy sources more efficient and competitive? seems to work in other first world nations where oil companies don't have such a big influence on politicians and lawmaking. coincidence?

This thread is about manipulation and promoting falsehoods in support of more federal regulation from one of the worst agencies, not the validity and finer points of executive orders.


you're wrong again. this thread is about trump's disregard for environmental protection and his support of oil companies. it's about the danger that climate change is to the world. you try to make it about something else because you're not interested in discussing the issue but that does NOT change what this thread is about and i know, after all i made it...

i'm an environmental scientist. I am the manager of a university labratory and we measure, among other things, atmospheric co2 concentrations 10 times a second 24/7 in forests in North Carolina, Arkansas, and Indiana. Atmospheric co2 is definitely rising and has real consequence on water cycling (outflow of streams for municipal water) and carbon cycles (production of wood for timber industry).

I really want to stress that that environmental science is not against industry. In fact our research goals are about collecting information to help manage forests to preserve natural resource economies in a world of changing climate. Preventing this kind of work is just irresponsible.

One of those tweets on the BBC page is interesting, the one that says co2 levels at highest for 650,000 years. I legit didn't know we had records going back that far.

The more you know..


You must be kidding. You absolutely must be kidding.

If you are a scientist then you don't need to write in bold to get attention, you'd be able to contribute something substantial to this topic and would write CO2 with capitals.. tnx men.

in light of his recent executive orders to basically shut down the epa, while on the other hand pushing through the controversial keystone and dakota access pipelines (by a company he holds stock in btw!) - how do you feel about his approach towards dismantling all environmental protection in favour of even greater business opportunities for his donors and partners from oil companies? don't you think he's endangering all our future by recklessly ignoring environmental protection to make a couple of million bucks for himself and his buddies?

censorship?


EPA is a useless organization. State DEP orgs do 80% of the work for a lower price.

Dont worry, i think nearly everybody here will live long enough to see the disaster in action.
Specifically for usa im thinking about the californian drying out, but i guess theres others areas; especially in middle-lands (global warming/change is going exponential in full continental zones)


The disaster of corruption and lack of regulations. Heads will fall and i will be here if they need someone to pull the guillotine lever :thumbsup:

Follow it comrades :evil:

Yaay, shall we in the mean time buy popcorn ??.. We have to watch the wars around the world caused by droughts and emigration of half of our world's population.

That logic doesn't work the way you think it does.
The evidence of the lie is posted publicly for all to see.

You made a positive claim with certainty and without qualification to demonize him, without proof, and left out key facts and evidence that indicate its most likely false.

"classic trump apologist" :rofl:
I'm a radical libertarian that never supported trump and have been highly critical of him when he deserves it.

I'm arguing specific points in a specific area, and against lies made in service of expanding government. That doesnt make me an apologist.
I am focused on the issues and would prefer if you argued them instead of making appeals to emotion and lying.
Pointing out the fallacious nature of your post is not invalid.

I do not believe the Chinese invented it or any of that.
It does not therefore follow that the EPA is awesome. Yes I think they have gone too far in a number of areas.
Scaling back their regulations is not inherently a danger to our future. It can be very beneficial.

Its clear you are trying to leverage one in support of the other. I'm not going along with it.

The fact that jobs could be created doing something does not mean its efficient or right or in our best interests.
Unreliables should have to compete on merit rather than cronyism. Nor does there have to be a strict dichotomy there. There is room for multiple types of energy development.
Right now fossil fuels are very beneficial for our way of life. If something better comes along, great.

i didn't say that.

I am not against an overhaul of how the EPA works administratively. I have worked for the forest service and I understand how inefficient federal agencies can be. But I am against marganilizing the work of the EPA and the gag order and restricting the EPA from talking about facts about the climate. All signs are pointing to an administration deciding to ignore a real problem. Sad!
