We all already know his answer, he thinks climate change is a hoax and even if it isn’t he doesn’t care because he’ll be dead by the time it’s an issue. Plus he’s being paid to ignore it and prevent any action

He won't just ignore it. He'll do what Ron DeSantis does in Florida and actively pass laws to make it more difficult to do the right thing.

He is a dancing monkey distracting the crowd while the GOP and the wealthy pickpocket everyone from behind. He will do the "scandal a day" shit and the news orgs will be focused on that while the country is dismantled.

Donald is too fucking stupid to be involved in lawmaking. He'll pass whatever they present him in exchange for a handout (handouts after the fact now legal, thanks SCOTUS). He won't be thinking any up, though. He only knows how to watch TV, golf, and sell classified information to Russia.

“I had the best environmental numbers ever. My top environmental people gave me that statistic just before I walked on the stage actually.” (It’s unclear what Trump meant here

Yep, 'here'. As we all know, Trump is well-known for constructing comprehensible sentences. The best comprehensible sentences.

I bet his "environmental numbers" really are the highest for any recent president. It sounds technically true. Like how his national covid infection rate numbers were very high.

It's also just ridiculous that this statement, even if true, would satisfy anyone.

Even if the numbers were "the best ever", it's clearly not good enough to get us out of this climate crisis. So at best he's saying he's unable to do enough

I don't know why people bother asking Republicans anything. If they have an unpopular opinion, they will lie. If they have a popular opinion and later find they can profit from changing it, they'll do that. Trump will lie just like all the newer SCOTUS conservatives did just to get the job

He'd do a lot. None of it good.

Yeah, but like, the other guy was tired...

Adam had the best environmental numbers ever! And no, you're the Messiah and not Adam. Back then they had wood working and iron mining, as your favorite book tells. No, not your accounting books.

We know what he'd do.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
