Donald Trump has his lips firmly attached to Big Coal’s posterior. He’s listening to the wrong people. He obviously does not care about the rest of us who will have to navigate in spoiled surroundings— all because he says he’s not convinced that long-held findings about carbon monoxide and methane are real. But what does he know?

Truthfully– what does he understand? About anything.

So, we get to watch as he does his best to pulverize yet another foundational understanding of the effect we’re having on the air we breathe. He refutes yet another substantial body of evidence to placate the producers of a dirty fuel.

There is no such thing as clean coal, Donald. Scrub all you want, you conniving dumbass. You’re probably buoyed by the cold winter we’ve been having, selectively oblivious to the fact that the polar vortex is reaching places it has rarely reached, in part because polar ice is melting at alarming rates. You and many others keep refusing to put two and two together.

While you’re at it, why don’t you look into bringing the dinosaurs back? You could make that happen, since you’re such a helluva deal maker.
