Of course, Nov 30 will also align with his Ban Bet expiration so anyone who wants to enjoy the general tomfoolery and low-impact smak n chat of the 2017 RxPolyForum best schedule their retirement because once he is allowed back down here it will be 50 to 100 posts daily of his personal angst
The earth's climate has been changing for 2 billion years. The current cycle of global warming is about 17,000 years old. Man has been burning fossil fuels for 150 years give or take.
I think it's naive to think we can stop climate change by using different energy sources.
The climate is going to change, and the planet's history suggests some of those changes will be catastrophic. I think money is best spent researching how mankind will survive those catastrophic changes, and stop pretending we can control climate change.
When a scientist can explain why the next cycle of global cooling is not coming, I'll listen. But they act as if he glacial cycles are just going to stop for some undefined reason

I'm not sure why you think some magazine covers (including fakes) disprove climate change theories.
Ask yourself this...why do you think that magazine cover was photoshopped and then made its way to the president (who of course bought in)? Images are powerful. Fake news is everywhere and science is being ignored.

Donald Trump to withdraw US from Paris Agreement on climate change, sources claim
The departure of the world's second biggest source of greenhouse gases from the international accord designed to reduce them would be a major blow

Good company...
"Only two countries declined to join the Paris agreement: Syria and Nicaragua."
Trump to pull out of Paris climate change agreementpolitico.com
Ummm...the Paris agreement is ILLEGAL - nothing but a sneaky end around the Kyoto treaty which was UNANIMOUSLY rejected by the Senate before President Trump arrived on the scene.
Just like Obama, you have ZERO respect for the Constitution, the will of the people and the democratic process, which is exactly why Trump won - to put an end to this left wing lawlessness.
I don't know the terms agreed.....I only reentered the PolyF after the election for purposes of parody and general hilarity.
Seriously, the prevailing reason I asked BAS to block "barman" from the PolyForum in Nov 2012 was I knew I would find it difficult to ignore Vit's relentless 24/7/365 forum wrecking.
If and when he reemerged I would have to bail, although it might be said my life could be more fruitful bailing NOW.....heh.....I mean, really now....is there any extended level of dishonesty and absurdity that little donnie could offer up at this point?
And it's not as if the Dems are doing anything fresh.....If Hillary, Liz Warren and Bernie are still the go-to "progressive" quotes for MSM, it's all become an endless circle jerk.
Need to focus a bit better on my business projects, smartly funding my Golden Years and maybe hanging more with my granddaughter (and second g-child coming in late July)
Cannot survive like Vit with his bottomless pit of imaginary lifestyle

[h=2]Under promise and over deliver.[/h] As a businessman, Trump knows that those are the rules. And as president that’s just what he did today in his inspirational speech about pulling out of the Paris climate agreement.
It was inspirational because it articulated better than any world leader has ever done before why environmentalism is in fact such a harmful creed.
Rather than get bogged down in the “science” of climate change — an elephant trap so arranged by climate alarmists to make anyone who disagrees with them look ignorant or “anti-science” — he cut to the chase and talked about the important stuff that hardly ever gets mentioned by all the other politicians, for some reason: the fact that the climate change industry is killing jobs.
He talked about “lost jobs; lower wages, shuttered factories.”
He listed what the effects of implementing the Paris Agreement would be, by 2040, on key sectors of the US economy:
Paper down 12 percent
Cement down 23 percent
Iron and steel down 38 per cent
Coal down 86 percent
It was simple and it was brilliant. Here was Trump talking to his voter base, feeling American workers’ pain and telling them [he didn’t actually say this but this was the message]: “I won’t abandon you. I won’t sell you down the river, whatever the global elite may want and however much they try to bully me. You people come before all this green crap.”
And it also has the virtue of being true. Sure the actual figures may be guesstimates, but there’s no question that the tenor of his argument is quite accurate: climate regulation like the Paris agreement makes energy more expensive, slows economic growth and kills jobs, especially in the heavy industrial and fossil fuel sectors.
This argument ought to be low hanging fruit to any half way intelligent politician: it’s such an obvious way of connecting with the workers. Yet Trump is the only one who has ever said it. And hearing him say it was a reminder of why it was that he won the presidential election. He connects with his people in a way that so many politicians just don’t.
Compare and contrast with the other world leaders: Merkel, May, Macron, Trudeau, Turnbull — not one of those charlatans dares tell the truth about the global climate change industry, that it’s a racket which achieves nothing but simply transfers wealth from Western nations to countries like India and China.
The other clever thing about that speech, of course, is that he’d kept us guessing to the last.
Me included.
I thought he was going to fudge it much more than he did; that he’d end up compromising to please Ivanka.
But with this speech on Paris, President Trump has delivered.
Just when even some of his fans were starting to doubt him, he has made his presidency great again.
