U.S. Stands with Russia and Saudi Arabia Against Climate Sciencehttps://www.scientificamerican.com/article/u-s-stands-with-russia-and-saudi-arabia-against-climate-science/
.............................................
Who knew we would be here today after 8 years of Obama. Who knew we, The United States would be labeled the axis of evil along with Russia and Saudi Arabia. We are now considered evil and have lost all credibility with the rest of the world. They hate us, rightfully so.
Another common factor. State sanctioned murder of journalists. Russia uses poison and tall buildings. Saudi uses bone saws. Trump calls fake news, enemy of the people and aids and abets the killing of journalists. in our country and theirs. They are good people and really great allies!
It is the oil. It is all about the oil and they are all willing to kill anyone that says any different.
Money. It is all about the money. It is ALL about enriching themselves.

(36,184 posts)That first toon is good -- how do you answer such a question? It is its own warning flag of the inability, or refusal, to *think*!
The problem is that it is very profitable to deny anthropogenic global warming and the steps necessary to mitigate it. As just one example, a petroleum powered vehicle has lots of revenue streams built in; an electric vehicle eliminates many of those revenue streams. (That's true even if you ignore the fact that you can generate your own electricity but not likely to refine your own crude).
Nations, corporations, and individuals who depend upon us remaining dependent on what's destroying our world will continue to fight for the status quo.

I even screwed that up, but it worked for one.

(303,602 posts)Now you're just showing off. lol
I like that one too.. very insultingly true
Thank You!
Figured out what I did wrong the first time -- left off the ";".
Welcome.
TrumPutin has reinforced the deplorables' belief that the extreme cold and snowstorms mean climate change is a hoax. Either he really is an idiot, or he's using them as pawns while he loots. Or both.
Cha
(303,602 posts)I got to my answer before I saw your choice.
Yes, TrumPutin and all their little doormats get a big chuckle out of mocking the Crisis of Climate Change.
Hope the greens are happy they fell for jill stiein's Lies and help get a Climate Change Denier in the WH.. when they could have had someone who would ensure we were working to make our Environment Better.. even if she had to EO it!

It'll buy a war
It will save a land
It pollutes this air
In the name of wealth
It'll buy you life
But not true life
The kind of life
Where the soul is hard
My name is dollar Bill
