We all know (or should know) that Trump has said that global warming is a plot devised by China.
If a Donald J. Trump administration acts on the president-elect's view that global warming's a "hoax," the consequences of the presidential election may echo for generations. When he's sworn into office in January, Trump becomes the only leader of a major industrialized country to deny the existence of human-caused global warming.
This is a first for the U.S., considering that even former president George H.W. Bush signed a climate change agreement in 1992, when the issue was just emerging. Presidents Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama have all pursued reductions to emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide.
In the lead-up to the election, environmental leaders and climate scientists issued apocalyptic warnings of what a Trump presidency would do to efforts to rein in global warming, given that the Paris Climate Agreement only just went into effect on Nov. 4, and is still fragile.
So, all you boy's and girl's, get ready for solar energy/wind investment by the US to go down the shitter, but definitely buy stock in coal companies. You will be winners!
