This doesn’t really surprise me from Trump. Why would he care about global warming? If some coal and oil people stroke his ego a bit of course he will sacrifice global climate for them.

Here in Australia our conservative party was slaughtered at the last election. There were a number of reasons but a key reason is their poor position on climate change. Now with their party decimated they’re trying to re-brand and bounce back. Their big idea? Discard carbon emission goals. Fuck trying to make everything more efficient, who would want that right?

The fossil fuels industry did a bit more than stoke his ego — they also paid a billion-dollar bribe
