Support NeoGAF

[Wilsongt]

I am just too exhausted to feel outraged anymore.

Trump is an idiot.

His cabinet is full of idiots.

The current crop of GOP congress people are idiots.

Trump's Yes-men are idiots.

Trump supporters are idiots.

And American voters are idiots.

But please continue to talk about her emails and the DNC cheating Bernie.

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

How does that even work? Didn't the us sign it officially? Doesn't that weaken the image of the US with other things they signed.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Makes absolutely no fucking sense. None.

Wow.

 

[Blader]

Trump is 70. He doesn't have much time left on this earth.

He's basically committing murder of future generations.

His kids and grandkids will live to suffer through an increasingly harsh climate and all the problems that go with it.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

Well this is a day that will live in infamy.

 

[Netherscourge]

I hope you all like your Covfefe with Methane & Carbon Dioxide.

 

[Apharmd]

Damn we for real are the new axis of evil.

Well. Wait. No. We're the only one doing this, huh.

 

[Shoeless]

Trump is 70. He doesn't have much time left on this earth.

He's basically committing murder of future generations.

Pretty much this. He and his friends in the energy industry that benefit from ignoring environmental considerations aren't thinking about long term benefits, only short term profit.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

In terms of the irreversible damage this will do- Is this the worse thing that a single human being has done to our planet?

Or is that just hyperbole?

 

[Waylon Drums]

His kids and grandkids will live to suffer through an increasingly harsh climate and all the problems that go with it.

And they'll be loudly blaming the democrats for it.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Trump also converting Statue of Liberty into Mega Maid.

 

[Altazor]

What fucking "Deal" do they think they are going to get?

one imposed by the fossil fuel industries onto the US, and by the US to the rest of the world.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

How the hell did Pruitt ever get through confirmation hearings.

party line + "why there still snowballs doe"

 

[RPGCrazied]

Thank god It takes 4 years to happen. Let us not repeat last election shall we? Guys?

Sure he has his base, his 39%, but he has already lost independents. I really doubt he can get elected again.

 

[TheAbsolution]

So this makes us, Syria, and Nicaragua as the only holdouts out of almost 200 countries right?

Let that one sink in.

And Nicaragua wanted a stronger deal.
So that leaves Syria.

 

[Cat Party]

The rest of the world needs to take the gloves off for us.

Seriously. We deserve to suffer as a nation for what we've allowed to happen.

 

[SpaceWolf]

I hope Americans are going to protest the hell out of this.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

Wonder if Elon Musk is keeping his word on resigning.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

What fucking "Deal" do they think they are going to get?

This is what I'm struggling to understand.

 

[Ryoku]

“We will initiate the process, which, all told, takes four years in total. But we’re going to make very clear to the world that we’re not going to be abiding by what the previous administration agreed to.”

This is really about Obama, isn't it? Damn libruls.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

sanction us.

seriously.

In terms of the irreversible damage this will do- Is this the worse thing that a single human being has done to our planet?

Or is that just hyperbole?

depending on others reactions and if the US carbon footprint increases. I'd say this is easily the worst thing, save for a potential nuclear war.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

But we’re going to make very clear to the world that we’re not going to be abiding by what the previous administration agreed to.

Nobody is going to believe any international agreement the US signs up for ever again.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

This may actually be the thing that has made me most upset by the administration.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

His kids and grandkids will live to suffer through an increasingly harsh climate and all the problems that go with it.

he doesn't give a shit about his kids with maybe the exception of Ivanka and that's because he wants to date her. He never visits his ~10 year old son in NY, Tiffany is basically never mentioned etc

 

[Ac30]

His kids and grandkids will live to suffer through an increasingly harsh climate and all the problems that go with it.

Trump is the most selfish piece of shit to ever set foot in the White House. He doesn't care.

 

[Pandora012]

His kids and grandkids will live to suffer through an increasingly harsh climate and all the problems that go with it.

They have more than enough money to protect themselves. They probably already have plans for creating Elysium.

 

[sangreal]

between, this, TPP and NAFTA I don't know why countries would have faith in negotiations with the US

 

[JordanN]

Pretty much this. He and his friends in the energy industry that benefit from ignoring environmental considerations aren't thinking about long term benefits, only short term profit.

Even the short term effects are worthless.

Coal is never coming back. We could be creating new jobs in the green sector instead.

 

[nintendoman58]

WHAT A SURPRISE.

Reposting from the other thread:

If anyone's feeling hopeless about all this: read this Twitter thread.

[Malo]

Fuck this adminstration.

 

[Kevin]

Donald Trump is plummeting America into third world status fast. I didn't even know it was possible for one man to do so but there it is folks. The damage is going to be so extensive that it may take decades to recover and that is based on optimism. America may never recover from Trump's presidency.

 

[ahoyhoy]

sanction us.

seriously.

.

It's worth it.

 

[sflufan]

Those "carbon duties" imposed on imported US goods are gonna be just great for the American economy.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Clock is ticking, world cannot afford Republicans to win 2018 or 2020.

 

[HvySky]

It feels beyond surreal to know that my country is now potentially the greatest threat to the planet. On purpose. The USA deserves to be viewed and treated as the monsters the GOP and Trump have forced them to become.

 

[Loudninja]

Trump is such a monster not sure how anyone can defend this piece of crap.

 

[johnsmith]

Ivanka and the Kush have failed us

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I truly want sanctions put against us. It's going to suck, but when all the business, sales, and friends dry up for Trump, shit will change then. Go fuck yourself #45.

 

[John Rabbit]

So this makes us, Syria, and Nicaragua as the only holdouts out of almost 200 countries right?

Let that one sink in.

Let it sink in that Nicaragua didn't sign because they didn't feel it was strict enough.

Ivanka and the Kush have failed us

They were never going to succeed for you anyway. They are not your friends.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Well this is a day that will live in infamy.

It's a day that Americans will regret, but hopefully the rest of the world will simply mark on the long list of things to hate about us and go about continuing to be concerned with reality.

On the bright side, Europeans can legitimately go back to talking about us like they did in the 1850s again now.

 

[PdotMichael]

Wonder if Elon Musk is keeping his word on resigning.

And risking SpaceX? Would be a bold move for sure.

 

[smokeymicpot]

This is really about Obama, isn't it? Damn libruls.

Of course it is.

 

[sangreal]

How does that even work? Didn't the us sign it officially? Doesn't that weaken the image of the US with other things they signed.

The agreement itself has a withdraw procedure, that is why it will take 4 years. Trump was considering skipping out on that obligation too though

 

[Shoeless]

They have more than enough money to protect themselves. They probably already have plans for creating Elysium.

Yeah, the rich don't have to worry about an unlivable environment when they have the means to simply buy and build one that keeps all the "wrong people" out.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

We are the enemy of humanity and we should be treated as such.

No other way of putting it. If we and history books survive, we're not being looked back on fondly by any metric or standard, nor do we deserve to be.

 

[Hesemonni]

 

[Occam]

This will lead to the death of millions. Get rid of him.

This is treason of the planet and humanity.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's kind of weird knowing I'm living through one of the worst administrations in US history. If not the worst.

 

[Tovarisc]

How does that even work? Didn't the us sign it officially? Doesn't that weaken the image of the US with other things they signed.

If he doesn't do last moment 180 on this then it does, yes.

Image of US will weaken globally instantly in all respects and US could be left very far behind in this fight against climate change and industry being build around that fight.

US isn't leading world anymore.*

*some hyperbole included, maybe

 

[aspiegamer]

sanction us.

seriously.

It's the only way there's even a marginal chance that we'll listen, so yeah, this please.
