Well Played On The Paris Climate Farce, Mr. Trump

The news headlines and my Facebook feed are positively frothing over the fact that Donald Trump has chosen not to subjugate the American people to a globalist bureaucracy or environmentalist cultism. Good. Environmentalism and the narrative surrounding "global warming," "climate change," and any other catchphrase du jour are a complete farce, both philosophically and empirically (my posts under the label "environmentalism" explain this in detail). The more that people who advocate this garbage are upset, the more I know that something worthwhile is happening.

To be fully accurate, there are two classes of people who advocate environmentalism. One is the globalists who hate national sovereignty and desire power for power's sake; they use environmentalism as the latest narrative to justify their quest, since outright socialism doesn't sell as effectively anymore (as the old saying goes, environmentalists tend to be watermelons -- green on the outside but red on the inside). The other class of people who advocate environmentalism are the useful idiots who lap up the globalists' narrative and take it seriously; they have no sense of the metaphysical or the divine, and they eagerly latch onto the narrative peddled by their intellectual superiors for want of anything more substantial to believe in. 

It continues to amaze me that so many Americans are willing to sacrifice their freedom and independence, and that they hate the man who is trying -- however imperfectly -- to preserve it for them. But then again, a true slave hates no man more than his liberator.

EDIT

I neglected to mention a third category of people who advocate environmentalism: crony-capitalist parasites who stand to gain by regulating their competitors out of business while reaping subsidies from the public trough. A perfect example of this is the execrable Elon Musk, whose Tesla boondoggle exists only by virtue of my tax dollars, and who predictably has harsh words for Trump. If the federal government strictly adhered to the Constitution and terminated all these regulations and subsidies, creatures such as Musk would go the way of the Dodo.
