Isn't It Ironic...Don't You Think

 
Kinda ironic that whilst his country is being pummeled by the devastating consequences of Climate Change, Donald Trump is going full steam ahead to make them even worse by pulling out of the Paris Accords and boasting how he will 'Drill Baby Drill'.
A study published by the American Medical Association Journal found that 2,325 people died from heat in the USA during 2024, 297 by hurricanes and tornadoes and at least 166 people died in floods while
wildfires burnt 1,716 homes and more than 1,050,012 acres (1,640 square miles), or almost 2 Luxembourg's.
The cost of the disasters was approximately $182.7 billion but Trump has called environmentalist’s hoaxers and went as far as describing it as created by the Chinese to make US manufacturing non-competitive which is very different to the Donald Trump who applied for planning permission to build large sea defences at his golf courses in Scotland and Ireland, citing on his application that the defences were necessary: 'Because of global warming and rising sea levels'.
Seems the Orange one is happy to let his own country get savaged by the extreme weather that Global Warming brings but also wants to protect his businesses from the same Global Warming that he denies exists.
As one wag put it, he pulled out of the Paris Accords but if he had pulled out of Stormy Daniels he wouldn't be a convicted criminal with a criminal record with 34 counts of fraud against him.
