    We need to reframe this as “Trump opens dialogue about climate-driven environmental hazards, proposes punitive measures for polluting nations”

    See how fast we can get the whitehouse hyenas to shit themselves

    This is fucked up. I don’t usually jump too hard on the anti-Trump bandwagon (I don’t like the guy but I’m not usually rabid about it) but this really takes the fucking cake.

    When CA had wildfires, Canada sent us a ton of help-- a bunch of firefighting aircraft, complete with air crews and ground support. It made a big difference.

    We have firefighting aircraft. And my understanding is they are parked on the fucking ground while our friends and neighbors to the north are burning. Meanwhile our so-called leader is hurling insults and threats at our friends, while they are literally on fire.

    I love my country, but today I’m ashamed. We are supposed to be better than this. Better neighbors, better humans. It’s pathetic. It’s not us. It shouldn’t be us. We should be better than this, as a nation.

      I don’t want to sound rude, but all those particles are Canadian, illegal, undocumented and, get this… brown and yellow and red! And they’re here to kill us, bringing Cancer to our region. The worst part is they’ll just land anywhere they want, stick around and nobody does anything!

      It’s almost as if we should do something about them …sequester them in a large box? Capture them anywhere they go into our country?

      Do you know they land on your sister? Not just her harms and legs but inside her blouse! Down her undies! Oh my! Everyone’s sisters! We gotta do something!

    Are the Epstein Files in the wildfire smoke? No? Then let the fire department do their job and bring the child-molester-in-chief to justice. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to bring back those environmental laws you abolished.

    As a punishment for Canadian wildfires, Trump raises taxes that only Americans pay.

    Make it make sense, challenge level impossible

      Simple. These wildfires are exacerbated by climate change. American consumerism fuels climate change. By increasing taxes on Americans, he’s reducing future wildfires.

    I don’t know about you, but the “filthy” air invading my home is caused by the 70,000 acres of forest burning my own state…

    ****This is what can happen if you do not properly manage the fire burden of forests by allowing fire to consume the dead trees and ground cover. But god forbid the tourists from big cities see a section of burned forests! They tend to get all riled up.

      This is why we wrap tourists in kindling and give them tiki torches before we send them off into the forest in my state.

    Is he saying the atmosphere is a shared resource that no nation should be filling with pollution?

    It’s fascinating how close he is to getting it, while the world knows he never, never will.

      I mean, he has done more for renewable energy than any previous president.

      He’s increased the cost of gasoline, and done wonders for the electrical grid in Cuba.

      No, he’s saying that the atmosphere is a resource owned by the US and that other countries should pay for it.
