"Something far worse than composite flooring is in store for nations that fail to rally to Trump's hypernationalism, anti-immigrant fervor, and fawning embrace of fossil fuels. "Your countries are going to hell," he said, apparently addressing his comments primarily to the "English-speaking world." In a room filled with heads of state already reckoning with global warming as an existential threat, Trump called climate change "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.""
"It was a do-as-I-say-and-as-I-do lecture, with Trump modeling a domestic climate response that can best be described as ecocidal. He is burning up the evidence of climate crisis while directly attacking renewable energy and other planet-cooling strategies that could keep more people safer the world over. This includes intentionally crashingclimate-observing satellites, shutting down a Hawaii observatory that tracks atmospheric changesand a national climate monitoring network,"
At the United Nations, President Donald Trump mocked the building's finishes and warned that nations failing to embrace his nationalist, anti-immigrant, and pro-fossil-fuel agenda were 'going to hell.' He labeled climate change 'the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world' and dismissed decades of scientific warnings and evidence of increasing extreme weather. The administration is described as actively dismantling climate observation and response: intentionally crashing climate satellites, shutting a Hawaii observatory and a national climate monitoring network, closing environmental-justice programs, curtailing disaster assistance, and attacking renewable energy while favoring fossil fuels.
