To correct your president, the modern world started before the USA, and before coal. It started with the New World, brutal slavery, gold, and capital. If the US President is talking about the Industrial Revolution, that wasn't coal, either, but technology and steam, specifically the realization that steam transferred energy. Coal was used before that. But, if want wants to be US centric, then let's look at the violence in California and Washington before the US Civil War, and how that racist violence transferred into dehumanizing technological violence, designed to protect White blood. Consider, in this regard, Gabriel Rains, who led the volunteers against the Yakama in 1855, who turned his experience into the invention of the land mine for the Confederate cause, to prevent Southern white blood from being spilled to defend Black people's rights. That's the modern world the president appears to be talking about. It's best not to let him mythologize all this. The record is clear.
We no longer have to worry about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation because the instruments to measure it will be ripped out of the sea this month. No data, no problem 🤷♀️
How many news sources are reporting the details of this ceremony? The only thing that I have read about this disgraceful event was the part about Trump falling asleep, as usual, when others spoke. I have been alarmed before by the amount of environmental news that is ignored. Thank you for this information. Is there anyway to get this acknowledged as the priority it needs to be?
He plans to rip out data monitoring measures in the Pacific also. This will effectively eliminate forecasting potential earthquakes. I think he’s hoping an earthquake will annihilate the blue states without warning.
The pure evil and stupidity in that room makes my blood boil. We have been fighting no coal in Oakland for years. We lost but have not admitted defeat. We are fighting pure evil and greed. This is the worst of times...
every day it's so hard to be as horrified as we should be at every action of this moron and his many enablers and profiteers.
"Clean, beautiful coal," eh?
Start with Centralia, PA.
..or someplace , WV
Just a thought: Maybe it is time to take a rail car load of that "clean, beautiful coal" and
dump it right outside Mar-a-Lago's Golf Club entrance and FIRE it up!
Let's see
how long the golden statue and those white and yellow striped umbrellas look PERFECTLY
pristine.

Anthropologist Margaret Mead spoke at our college in the early 70s.
At that time, our shared mass concern was stopping the war on Vietnam.
She recommended reaching out to the children of the rich white men who were perpetrating the war. Everyone pays attention to their children.
This writing reminds me of her deep thinking.
Much appreciated.
