Last edited Mon Aug 26, 2019, 09:07 AM - Edit history (1)
The leaders of the world's biggest economies discussed biodiversity, climate and oceans at one of the sessions on Monday.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a guest at the session. He said he "highlighted India's large scale efforts" on climate change and the environment.
President Donald Trump was notably missing from the meeting.
Asked about it during one of his news conferences, Trump appeared to suggest the climate talks were yet to happen.

(62,530 posts)1. Hell, even right wing nationalist Modi agrees there is a climate problem...
the orange asshole can't attend, even if he wanted to (which he doesn't), out of fear of pissing off his moron base.

(102,293 posts)2. There ought to be a word for anger so intense it incorporates crushing depression as well...
Because when I see the US being represented (not represented) by Trump and his ilk on the world's most pressing and catastrophic problem, it makes me angry, depressed, sick to my stomach and unable to fully expresse myself.
I hate Trump and his enablers/followers most of all for the damage they are doing.
