China to Trump...Suck on this!

Anyone that has been following the tragic joke that the US is playing on the planet, namely the election of DJ Trump to the position of President of the US, had undoubtedly heard his claims about climate change being a Chinese fabrication intended to hurt US business.

Well, yesterday, the The Empire Struck Back.

In the most typically used manner used to refute the short-fingered PE, the Chinese did it with facts!

During international climate change talks in Marrakech on Wednesday, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin reminded reporters that climate change negotiations began with the UN's International Panel for Climate Change in the 1980s, supported by the US Republican-led administrations under Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush. It was the EU and the US who brought full climate change awareness to China, he said, according to notes sent to CNN by a Chinese delegate traveling with him. Liu reiterated that climate change was not a hoax and that it was possible for Republicans to continue to support the process of addressing it, the delegate said. The comments are something of a slap in the face to Trump, who painted China as an enemy of America, claiming the Asian powerhouse was "taking our jobs and taking our money."

What Liu Zhenmin stated is of course, true. Here is a link to George H. W. Bush making the case for anthropogenic climate change. Here's the quote in 1990:

"We all know that human activities are changing the atmosphere in unexpected and in unprecedented ways."

We ALL knew it then, but what has happened in the interim that has caused people to doubt not only the continually accumulating mountains of data, but what they can see all around themselves?

The primary driver is the public relations industry. For the English speaker, here is a free primer on how the seeds of doubt were sown.

One of the petro-drenched pitchmen is none other than Myron Ebell, Trump's pick to lead his EPA transition team.

Not only is Ebell not a scientist, he is a paid crusader for business over everything. Here's the Wikipedia entry for this soulless creature. In his stellar career he has denied that big tobacco was liable for killing people. He was, and presumably is, against the Endangered Species Act, because he is a simple and mean-spirited person. These 'all business all the time' know nothings do not understand that without a habitable planet, there is not going to be ANY business.

Here is the shorter video of the evil grandfather spewing his bile denying climate change. Beware the bespectacled walking bag of bovine effluent.

Oh, it may or may not be common knowledge that when one burns a gallon(3.75l) of gasoline, it releases roughly 19lbs.(8.8Kg) of carbon into the atmosphere. Given that a gallon of gasoline weighs somewhere between 6 and 7 lbs., how can this be? This is a really good synopsis as to how this is so. It is beyond dispute. Myron Ebell cannot tell you how it is so, but you, dear reader, can now do this very thing :)

Not checked for anything. It is going live sans any filtration!
