I just listened to Trump’s State of the Union speech a couple nights ago. After listening to it and to the news the next couple of days, a few things stand out. Not one word was said about global warming or one about renewable energy. Both are in the news often. Just this morning on Good Morning America they showed that the last five years were the warmest in history. Most of the world believes it is real and man-made in the U.S. Most of the democrats believe it and republicans are climbing on board. Last I saw, 56% of republicans agree it and that agrees pretty much with Dr. Van Gorp’s figures.
So instead of talking about this, Trump chose to tell us lies about the border wall. This is the third city he has described on the border that I have heard the mayor or sheriff say that what Trump said about their towns was totally untrue. Maybe if Trump would tell the truth he could get some people to work with him.
Another thing he talks about is getting rid of regulations. Maybe that why on Good Morning America they said C.O. count went up the first time in 10 years. The next thing he brags about is oil exports. Canada has about five times our reserves. Venezuela has eight times ours. The Middle East has 23 times as much as we do. So is it smart to sell our oil?
