Is It Really Possible To Be This Stupid?
Political Editorial Opinion
America’s leadership simply can’t get much more asinine and ignorant than they currently are. If you wanted to willfully attempt to destroy the planet and cause as much damage to human health as you can, you really couldn’t do much better than to elect this administration and its band of science deniers.
Maybe this administration could ban the planting of any form of vegetation that uses photosynthesis in cities next, or how about willfully increasing the oceans temperatures? What if this administration could research a way to aerate the oceans with CO2 bubblers, or find some way to more rapidly destroy the atmosphere so that gamma rays could reach the surface of the earth?
Come on America, think? You’re just not being creative enough.
How about banning public transportation and requiring people to drive cars without any form of pollution controls, eh?
Now you’re getting it…see it just creates a little bit of effort.
No you say?
But that’s exactly what the Federal Administration is actually doing by their actions today.
I mean Kudos America, seriously. If this administration gets any dumber than it is, it will likely stop producing or sponsoring Electric Vehicle usage in the United States, drop all the exhaust emission standards on ICE motor vehicles (2020-2027), remove the EPA’s set limits on CO2 emissions from power plants, and allow US oil companies to drill and frack practically anywhere in the US, including National Parks, while eliminating CO2 control limits.
Oh right…America is exactly that fucking dumb, isn’t it?
I suppose those of you with asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis are just going to have to literally ‘suck it up and die’ America.
What’s a couple of trillion dollars more in medical expenses anyway, right?
Aren’t you glad you’re spending all that money on those GLP-1 receptor agonists now? Just in time for emphysema or chronic lung inflammation to make your lives so much more interesting?
But man you will look so svelte in that casket won’t you?
Excellent work America. Congress and the White House at its finest.
Stupid Is as Stupid Always Seems to do in America
Today, February 12th, the Trump administration finalized the repeal of the EPA’s 2009 “endangerment finding,” which served as the legal foundation for federal regulation of greenhouse gases (CO2) under the Clean Air Act. This action effectively removes the EPA’s authority to set limits on carbon emissions from cars, power plants, and oil/gas wells, initiating a significant reversal of U.S. climate policy.
Yesterday’s CO2 level was 426.62 ppm, which has not been as high on this planet consistently for a mere 14 million years.
Now, I realize that the Jabba the Mutt is likely to expire any day now as his putrescence is clearly evident, but for the rest of us, many who suffer from asthma, COPD or related lung and heart issues, the fact that the controls have now essentially been thrown away suggests that, according the Environmental Defence Fund, the loss of these controls will lead to the premature deaths of 58,000 people in the U.S between 2026 and 2055 due to increased air pollution.
Scientists were already stating that global warning was occurring much faster than predicted, and that at the polar latitudes temperatures were rising up to four times faster than at the equator.
Meanwhile the fossil fuel industry, the plutocrats who own it, and the kleptocrats who simply want to profit from deregulation that will kill thousands of people, don’t give a fuck.
It’s simply all about the almighty dollar. Whether the world’s weather becomes more erratic, floods increase droughts increase or monsoon rains fail to materialize leading to starvation, crop failures or booms in pestilence devastating food supplies, not to worry America. The almighty dollar is all that matters.
It’s just so good that Antarctica, Greenland, Baffin Island and any and all glaciers on this planet will melt faster, seeing as the world heating will lead to billions, yes billions of people losing their water resources in a rapidly desiccating planet.
And damn it’s going to be so much fun watching Florida become an archipelago of islands, Miami, New York and San Francisco sink below the waves. But hey, that’s progress, and that’s science denial at its finest America.
You think you’ve got immigration problems now? Just wait until the world’s temperature goes up another 2 degrees Celsius.
You sure aimed ICE properly at least. Because when all of this shit comes home to roost?
There won’t be enough ICE to stop the millions upon millions that simply flood across from Mexico and arrived by boat, everywhere.
While nations that have large per capita releases of CO2 and other climate change gases fight to find ways to lower emissions and sequester CO2, America has decided, fuck it, we like money more than having drinking water.
And what message does this send to the rest of the world?
Why should we protect the atmosphere and the oceans? Why worry about forests burning or permafrost melting, sending megatons more of infinitely worse methane that’s 28-34 times stronger than CO2 in relation to warming the atmosphere.
Good old America. If we can’t fuck over the world with tariffs, or threaten invasion if we want whatever you have, then fuck it, we’ll kill all of you by making the planet impossible to live on.
Kudos America.
I wasn’t totally convinced that you could be this fucking stupid.
I was wrong.
