trump is going to say it is BAD deal for americans-- so thats your answer. mr nuance and policy wonk himself, donald trump, breaking it down.

I mean, it seems China is committed to leading in climate change, but India may be more hesitant to stay fully committed.

I know that's the real reason but what is, say, Ted Cruz's reason for supporting this

imagine all the jobs this will bring back!

coal has risen, coal has risen indeed!

Yes it will be about jobs is what they will say.

LMFAO

These people are morally bankrupt and it is increasingly depressing how much people buy it. I will not pretend understand the emotions of a coal worker. I know they don't want to hear that their industry is dying and they want to blame anyone and anything besides that the industry is dying and automation is taking their jobs. They want to blame President Obama, the Paris Accord, etc. It's frustrating.

not all of them!

i have heard interviews where they are like we know it is over but we want training and help getting other jobs etc etc etc

Nationalism rulz! Globalism droolz!

-Trump's speech, probably

BAD DEAL BAD DEAL BAD DEAL BAD DEAL


Trumpbot is on the fritz

What I really can't understand is the ignorance towards this plain and simple fact (as written in yesterday's WSJ):

In the past six years, hundreds of coal mines have shut nationwide, putting thousands of miners out of work. The main reason is that coal used by power plants has come under intense competition from cheap natural gas.

...how is this not a very simply understood concept?

Because an entire party has been lying about it for years in order to rally their base.

Coal is more expensive than natural gas because of all the regulations that Obama put on it.

The fucking clapping

On CNN Van Jones was just lamenting how poorly the Democrats have done in conveying that fact and the economic advantages of clean energy as a whole. Despite how much we progressives may want it to get better there still seems to be little to no progress in Democrats articulating the progressive cause. There's barely a hint of real leadership coming from the party.
