Don't be concerned about the effects of a Trump President on the environment. While I am fine with the Paris accord and the desire to reduce carbon, those are just feel good measures. Population growth has put us way past the tipping point and into a positive feedback loop. Unless several billion of us decide to die soon it is a lost cause. Only the Greens have been honest about the problem and they are politically irrelevant.

It is no coincidence that so many very bright billionaires want to go to Mars. They understand the Earth's destiny, and it isn't pretty. The worst of it is that millions of other species will go extinct before a few well healed folks say goodbye to our despoiled planet.
