    Except, and we've seen this time and again with other things, focusing on the negatives of that right now just justifies the thought in a lot of idiots heads who will say "oh well it wasn't even that good anyway" and not care about pulling out of it.

    I slept wrong on my neck and have a very sore neck/back this morning so maybe I'm feeling crabby, but you know...marginally different, not worth getting out to vote for, etc.

    That's gotta at least be worth a two-inch margin, right? Probably past the standard one inch at this point.

    Yeah, that's one way of thinking it through. The other way of taking it is exactly what I said, which doesn't diminish the accords in any way.

    This Covfefe tweet isn't another case of distracting the world while trump pushes through more horrible shit, is it? Kinda seems like it with the Paris accord ending.

    I don't trust most people to think of it that way.

    Between Paris Accord and birth control news, this feels appropriate.

    Basically they're going to allow employers to "opt out" of the contraception coverage mandate, so they can buy health insurance coverage for their employees that doesn't cover things like birth control pills.

    I hope we have some breakthrough on getting to Mars so we can all move and leave Trump and the GOP on earth by themselves to sit and think about what they've done

    I have been seriously thinking about/trying to move to Germany for 2 years now. I will probably move within the next year.

    As I've been saying, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is a bad PR move, but there was no way that this administration would actually enact policies that would back up our Nationally Determined Contribution even if we did stay in. It's better now that we can attack Trump and the GOP with their cards on the table rather than beating around the bush.

    Also, and I'm sure I'll get flack for this, these UN climate accords have been toothless and ineffective. See, for example, the massive surplus and depressed prices of carbon offsets under the flexible mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol. If there's going to be any meaningful climate change mitigation action, it won't be through the UN and the market-based strategies they use to accommodate fossil capitalism.
