    A source that provides lots of evidence.

    Whereas the Murdoch media empire is contradicting the experts by way overplaying the role of arson and lying about the supposed cutbacks in controlled burning  whereas in fact the opposite is the case..

     

    Bristol, you can't call one side a valid source of evidence just because you agree with it. 

     

    You do this constantly. As do most of the leftists. You only believe the NY times and the wapo when it is convenient. 

     

    Climate change has nothing to do with this. 

     

    Calm down.

    Yes, perhaps just "rightwing" would have been a better choice.

    How Rupert Murdoch Is Influencing Australia’s Bushfire Debate

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/08/world/australia/fires-murdoch-disinformation.html

    Wait, you quoted a left wing source for blaming it on a right wing source.... Can this be any sillier? 

     

    Droughts happen, lightning happens. Arson happens. Climate change has nothing to do with it. 

     

    Stop making stuff up.

    How about bit of self reflection on how US destabilized the region and how about US intervention to help Shah dictatorial absolute rule over Iran and suppressed demand for democracy.     

    OK, agreed that the past administrations have been disastrously inept. Now a president wants to get out and you still want to moan and deride every single move to feed your ideology. 

     

    What is your solution since you are the obvious anointed one that has the answers

    Not sure your comment meant for humor but it’s seem amorphous. Congress authorize dispensation of aids not individuals even for Trump. Read the Logan Act and try understand the criminology regarding unauthorized persons negotiating with foreign powers. 

    Like talking to the Iranians that was done before Obama took office or when Kerry was advising them after he was out of office? Like those examples you mean? Or when Ted Kennedy was going to the Russians to try and make Reagan lose the election. 

     

    Do you mean like these examples that were never prosecuted and ignored by the media? 

     

    There wouldn't be a double standard in your world would there be?

    In my experience, the people calling for “common sense”’ to prevail in order to simplify complex problems, are usually seriously lacking both common sense and the expertise needed to solve the problems. The fact that you don’t understand the reasons for the process or sympathise with its intentions doesn’t mean it’s pointless. It just means you don’t understand. 

    In your experience? What would that be precisely? 

     

    It is exactly your arrogant condescending tone that turns people away from the "only my theory can be right" attitude of the climate nazi cult.

    I must admit a person of your intelligence defending Trump does baffle me. I can only conclude he appeals to your hip pocket and sense of anarchy. Oh, and the sacred Second Amendment, of course.

    Fortunately, you don't get to decide who, what or why someone chooses to support. More importantly, you don't get to determine the intelligence or morals of others who disagree with your opinion.

    US is the second largest emitter of CO2

    The OP also refers to environmental impact investigations being reverted to the remit of the developers which surly will contribute to corrupt practices and comes across as a conflict of interest for trump due to his business interests. In addition trump has reversed a number of other laws to protect the environmental in favour of 'big business' due to his petty and bitter enmity to any laws Obama put in-place for the greater good. 

    Quite a bit of unfounded rhetoric here. Why is it that we can't build infrastructure using common sense and engineering practices without having to jump through dozens of unnecessary hoops? You are making an assumption that things are done to destroy the environment.

    I'm far from left and hate it. I defended the bloke when folk got on the hating bandwagon, but he's got it completely wrong here and deserves to be called an idiot for it. Not to generalise, but climate/pollution issue debunkers do tend to be of the a g e d persuasion and, it seems, lacking in the logic/intelligence department. Sad, though, as it'll all end in tears (for the young). :whistling:

    What evidence do you have to back up this opinion that cutting red tape for infrastructure projects will damage future generations? Explain the ridiculous claim that somehow you are more intelligent than those who disagree with your opinions.
