Pompeo is religious; he often talks about "being blessed" and "blessings to you and your family"....but he seems to carry on intelligent conversations; so as an ecologist/Environmentalist, I'm disappointed about his comments regarding "climate change" - yet I'm impressed with his efforts to gain knowledge.

So as unreal as it seems, Pompeo also seems to know what he's doing in politics...albeit a bit of a "traditionalist" approach...he's well versed in "intelligence" (per se...see this;

[cbsnews.com]

But most, if not all "religous" are #religulous" to me.

They look at climate as "god's will" they minimize man's influence on it. They ignore the profit/greed motive for the fossil fuel push.

And there's the rub.

Is he intentionally ignoring the profiteers? Does he truly believe "it's in god's hands"? Or does he make the connection between the profit motive and the build-up of our "greenhouse" and inevitable ensuing disasters?

That's a tough call.

Read the interview. It's very detailed...and a bit revealing of Pompeo's personality.

he, and his ilk. should be deported. Mid-Sahara is my preference.

He makes a good point.

Most people who live close to rising shore lines -and who can afford to do so - are moving.

The property value in some of these area are going down....and the insurance rates are going up.

Except for future developers....who know how to "raise the ground level, elevate driveways, etc....so this is, in fact, happening now. And the rich are getting richer...while the poor get poorer.

Watch this shocking aerial view of Bangladesth....then read - the coming floods, or sudden sea-level rise in these areas will kill a million or more overnight.

There are few other places to go when your country is being slowly swallowed by the sea. Climate experts predict that by 2050, rising sea levels will submerge some 17 percent of the nation’s land and displace about 20 million people. And the whole of Bangladesh is roughly the size of Iowa.

So Dhaka, for so many of its transplants, is a city of last resort.

But the #Religulous Republicans will call it "god's plan" and "natural birth control"

Yes, he's a fucking religious moron!

Just a typical Trump stooge.

If he is part of the administration the question does not have to be asked. IQ of the whole mess is less than 3.

Yes he is. Trump has very low standards and Pompeo met them with room to spare.

What a strange man!

Where? ... climate change affects the entire planet. Last time I checked, the accommodations on Mars are all booked up and there are no immediate plans to address the issue. Not to mention the cost of gas to get there!

Move where? sarcasm implied. People who deny climate change are either waiting for their rapture. Or they are the filthy rich SOB's that could give a flying fuck as long as their profits continue to climb.

Even Kim jon un won't talk tihim.

Yes

That is a rhetorical question, right?

Yes. Like most of Trumps inner circle

Yes!

Yes, this man is indeed a moron.

In a word, yes. Just another new low for the members of the trump administration.

Oh we'll be moving alright...to the ballet box to throw his lot out on their butts. Government by the people, for the people, and of the people....his clueless position is about to be challenged big time.
