Dear IGNORAMUS720, Donald Trump will not get more than 1% of black votes. Even the less than 1% black votes were given to him by mistake by the voters who were not careful enough to mark their intended candidates. Donald Trump will get less than 3% of non-white voters.

BOOM: EU declares CLIMATE EMERGENCY for Europe: Parliament issues chilling warning. express.co.uk European Union chiefs have declared an emergency in a major vote of MEPs in Strasbourg. By ROB VIRTUE PUBLISHED: 11:20, Thu, Nov 28, 2019 \| UPDATED: 15:54, Thu, Nov 28, 2019 Ursula von der Leyen: Fight against climate change can't wait Duration 0:48 A vote to register the current situation across the continent a “climate emergency” was passed by a large majority. It comes a day after an internal EU docoment revealed climate protection could cost Europe €3trillion. German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said the European Commission laid out how €300billion would be spent each year. This is part of Brussels plans for Europe to become the first carbon neutral continent by 2050.

New EU President Ursula von der Leyen has called for at least half the budget of the bloc to be spent on climate protection. However, a spokesman for Ms von der Leyen said: "The cited Commission document is not known to her and it could at most be administrative considerations." Activists praised the move with many seeing it as a rebuke to Donald Trump and his actions against the Paris climate deal. Irish Green Party MEP Grace O'Sullivan added: "Thankfully, unhelpful amendments pushing nuclear energy were not moved." Sven Giegold, of the Green Party, tweeted: “Yes! The European Parliament declares Climate emergency! An important sign at the right time. These are crucial years for future generations! Very sad: large parts of the Christian Democrats have voted against it!” Greenpeace hailed the move but said more now needs to be done. In a statement it said: "We need Europe to set climate targets to cut emissions by 2030 in line with science NOW." However, many will see the declaration as merely a symobolic act, aimed to increased pressure on member states.

Scottish MEP Alyn Smith said the journeys emit 19,000 tonnes of CO2. There is also rising anger at the Strasbourg facilities carbon footprint for a building which is only open 48 days a year. And German MEP Peter Liese said the message of an emergency creates “panic and images of the Third Reich”. He said: “This is not panic mongering. We need to keep a sober head.” Leading group EPP had also called for the use of the word "urgency" rather than emergency. The resolution was passed by 429 votes with 225 MEPs voted against the action.
