A recent climate-change report has made big news across the globe. Among its findings were:
- We're on track for a 3 degree (C) increase by the year 2100.
- We only have 12 years left to take the actions necessary to limit the before-mentioned warming to 1.5 degrees (C).
- If we don't take appropriate/immediate action, temperatures and sea-levels are going to rise; more property is going to be destroyed; and more lives are going to be lost.
What did Donald Trump have to say about the report? "It's fine" and "I don't believe it." The latter statement I don't find at all surprising, as he's made his climate-change denial painfully obvious in the past. What I can't wrap my head around is the former statement the president made. "It's fine"? Really? Homes are going to be destroyed; people are going to die; and everything is fine? Okay then. On that note, here's a hypothetical conversation between Trump and a reporter.
Reporter: "What do you think about the millions of Jews who were killed during the Holocaust?"
Trump: "It's fine."
Reporter: "Say what? On 9/11, approximately 3,000 Americans were killed by terrorist bombers. Your thoughts?"
Trump: "It's fine."
Reporter: "That's... Okay, moving on... What do you have to say about all the mass shootings which have transpired in this country over the past year? The one in Vegas in particular? Doesn't it bother you between 30,000 and 35,000 people die every year due to firearms?"
Trump: "It's fine. It's totally fine."
Reporter: "Hmm... I'm noticing a trend. What about the fact it appears you're undermining the foundations of what made the United States great in the first place?"
Trump: "So fine, so so fine."
Reporter: "Hillary's emails..."
Trump: "Oh my God! This is yuge! Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!"
