The worst thing Trump could do

Over the past year I have posted any number of criticisms of Donald Trump.  Some of his actions have been truly appalling.  Evil is not too strong a word.

However, to ignore global warming, to ignore the human effects on the world’s climate, to pull out of the Paris Agreement is the worst thing Trump could do.  Most of the other actions or proposals affect the U.S.  Gutting our policies to reduce greenhouse gases will affect not only the U.S. and the present generation, but the entire globe and all generations to come.  This is insanity.


Twenty-two Republican Senators, including Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz, have signed a letter urging Trump to pull out of the agreement.  How did we ever reach this level of ignorance?
