Climate change is not a reality show.

Trump is treating the withdrawal of the US from the Paris climate agreement like it is the season finale for The Apprentice!

The fate of the world is at stake and he is acting like a game show host.

accommodation, is the same thing they did with the word "liberal". They associate it with a negative perception.

global warming is distorted to mean "conspiracy

The way I counter that is to argue it on the basis of pollution. Not only of the air we breathe, but water we drink, and food we eat. There are plenty of examples to readily demonstrate what pollution does to us. You don't have to explain the effect of greenhouse gasses. Breathing polluted air is not good for your health.

Many of us have known this for a long time. It was always about what boosted his "ratings" (vote share) with his segment of the demos. Truth, policy reality, all of it is irrelevant.

But it is one thing to tease that you will be announcing who your secretary pick will be, it is quite another to tease for ratings the first step in speeding up the demise of the world.
