Trump dismisses climate ‘prophets of doom’ as Greta Thunberg looks on

I thought Potato face was taking a vacation to recuperate from her mental exhaustion.


President Trump on Tuesday dismissed the “perennial prophets of doom” on climate change before an audience that included Swedish activist Greta Thunberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

But the president said he was a “big believer in the environment” and announced that the US will join the “One Trillion Trees” initiative supported by the forum in an effort to offset carbon emissions.

“We’re committed to conserving the majesty of God’s creation and the natural beauty of our world,” Trump told the world’s top business and political leaders.

He added, to sustained applause, that the US “will continue to show strong leadership in restoring, growing and better managing our trees and our forests.”

But he also lashed out at “alarmists” — the “perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse” — though he didn’t explicitly mention climate change, which is a major theme, along with sustainability, in this year’s annual forum.

Trump and Thunberg also did not mention each other directly Tuesday, but his remarks stood in stark contrast to the 17-year-old’s renewed call to “start listening to the science” on climate change.

Just as Trump was arriving in Davos, she said Tuesday that the world needs to “treat this crisis with the importance it deserves.”

So after the trees grow, will they cut them down to use inside building to lock in the carbon?  Or just let them fall and rot, releasing the carbon.
