Trump, Deciding.....

WILL HE, OR WON'T HE? Trump, of course, and the Paris climate change treaty, of course. As of this writing, Trump will make his grand reality TV style announcement, floodlights beaming, within hours, and, whatever his decision, he will use simplisitic hyberbolic vacuous rhetoric, reapeating key words. Sound fmiliar? How could he ever do otherwise, right? Also, he will most definitely remove the United States from the climate treaty, which will result in his getting viciously, verbally attacked by most of the world, which ought to really freak him out, what with his super sensitivity to criticism. He could, on the other hand, shock and pleasantly surprise the civilized world by announcing that America will remain true to the treaty, and commence a massive clean energy anti-climate change program, but that would enrage his core souporters, who prefer fast money and bad air, and who are violent and irrational enough to storm the White House and thrash their leader. The ironic, and vaguely humorous aspect of all this is that what Trump does on this issue, as powerful as he likes to consider himself, really doesn't matter, not in the least. With or without him, America and the world will go right on converting from fossil fuels to clean, sustainable economic policies and energy strategies, reversing global warming, saving the planet, and providing a blissful and prosperous life for all our descendents. Wind and solar energy are becoming more cost efficient every day, sweeping the world, saving us from ourselves. And the glorious news is that this wonderul process s going to continue, and come to successful fruition with or without Donald J. Trump and the lunatic American consrvative ecommuinty, which will be left behind, doubtless lamenting the vanished fossil fuel industry, convinced that global warming, climate change, the destruction of living habitat and life on Earth were never real threats or possibilities in the first place.
