    How the fuck can you work for the federal government and bite the hand that feeds you when you see a candidate that's running on trashing the federal government?

    Rex Tillerson used an alias, Wayne Tracker, to discuss Climate Change while working for Exxon over a 7 year period
    Exxon had not previously disclosed the account to NY investigators who are investigating the company for "misleading investors and the public about climate change"
    A subpoena had to be issued to get the additional 60 documents, State Department has declined to comment

    Some say we'll see Armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will.

    At least all the people getting cut might have jobs oveseas where they care about this shit. We'll just have to continue to ship our best out of country with our war against science, while we still kick ass in terms of education (PhD level) all the graduates are now just going back home mostly instead of sticking around here, for good reason.

    If anyone is curious what it would actually take to hold global temperatures below 2 degrees celsius above the baseline, read here:

    http://www.vox.com/energy-and-enviro...-climate-goals

    The effort required is staggering and is not going to get anywhere close to happening.

    A snippet:
    Cars with internal combustion engines “will have become rare on roads worldwide.” by 2040

    Yeah, as said in the OP and multiple times since then, we mostly missed our chance to realistically stop this first climate change slide. The momentum we have built up right now is going to carry us through the icemelt and most of the disasters that people have predicted (over the next hundred years).

    Trying to reshape our society, however, does have very longterm global benefits. Not "longterm" as in "next hundred years," but as in "next ten thousand years." We need to either invest heavily in NASA or invest heavily in local environmental policy and then diplomacy. Maintaining the current course will get (most of us) through this life, but I was hoping humanity would live for longer than a few more centuries.

    Briefly read the articles, sounds like minimal to questionable impact. I have no idea about the credibility of any of these sites, but any article that emphasizes Antarctic ice sheet growth while minimizing the record lows of Arctic ice instantly triggers my bullshit detector.

    If we are entering some kind of minimum then it's not having an effect yet, since global temps are still increasing. If we start seeing multiple years of temps declining below record levels, it might be more interesting, but if it's not going to slow or curb CO2 levels, all it would do is make the temperature shift even more dramatic in a few decades.

    In order to meet the suggested budget, the EPA (Pruitt) is preparing to eliminate everything he's legally allowed to eliminate.

    Fox let Chris Wallace slip his chain again. I know it's probably part of a greater scheme by Fox&Wallace to shroud themselves in a mantle of lesser legitimacy, but it's still nice to see.

    The senate failed to rollback the EPA's methane regulation.
