“Basically means no windows …”

July 15th, 2020 · Comments Off on “Basically means no windows …”

Amid his Rose Garden ranting against (soon to be President) Joe Biden yesterday, Trump went after Biden’s Build Back Better powerful Clean Energy plan. Evincing his normal shallow ignorance and gaslighting bravado, Trump fumbled through fossil-foolish talking points. Amid this, Trump attacked Biden’s call for a move toward net zero buildings.

Trumpian climate science denial: a national security affair

February 20th, 2019 · Comments Off on Trumpian climate science denial: a national security affair

The contrast stuns me/should stun you: Climate Catastrophes vs Fossil Foolish Promotion

September 7th, 2017 · 2 Comments
