He seems to think that what happens to the world climate doesn't affect Pittsburgh or anywhere else within our borders.
While I used to make fun of USA Today, their June 2nd issue published a revealing map above the front page story about Trump's latest denial of climate change: It's a map showing how much the United States has warmed in just the last twenty years. The
statistics are from the NOAA National Climatic Data Center. This trend is incredible
and--let's see...how would he understand my terminology?--very, very sad.
The U.S. sinks deeper into isolationist territory. "I am a rock/I am an island," to quote Paul Simon. And a rock feels no pain. And an island never cries (or apologizes). Like climate change itself, this is alarming.
