“Trump Kills Planet Earth, Women and Minorities Hardest Hit.”
OK, so maybe that isn’t the actual headline in The New York Times this morning, but I’ll bet it’s close. Before Donald Trump appeared on the political scene and cranked the media insanity to 11, the one topic guaranteed to drive the press crazy was so-called “climate denial.”
When the two volatile topics came together during President Trump’s Rose Garden announcement yesterday I fully expected at least one reporter to spontaneously combust like a “Spinal Tap” drummer. Instead I got hours of over-heated handwringing (posing as journalism) on Trump dumping the Paris Agreement, with virtually no light shed on the details of the accords themselves: What did they require? How much did they cost? And — presumably most important of all — would the Paris deal stop the warming?
