Well, Trump might not believe in all the things warmist alarmists fear will mean the loss of pretty beaches and lotza little isles, some of them private resorts for the very very elites of mankind, flush with underage pleasure slaves.
But I think what he's probably more concerned about is the loss of American exceptionalism and dominance, if not the bad economic times a carbon tax will impose on most ordinary humans, folks whose dreams of improved lives and lifestyles will be quashed in favor of a new global serfdom where about all people can hope for is a secure government job or a gig changing the sheets in mansions and finer hotels.
And, as matter of fact, the reason your political handlers are feeding you all this Hate Trump stuff is because it does conflict with the general idea of proposed world management, which includes population reduction strategies like bringing all the ignorant, uneducated proliferating hordes into the modern world where there are planned parenthood facilities located in the slums where they'll have to live. Bring the United States unquestionably into post-Constitutional management is seen as "good", too. And making the world safe for elites does mean that the elites get to fully manage people's expectations of human rights, their economic opportunities and political options.
Gun control, global taxation and redistribution of wealth, unelected governance, and communitarian society wherein dissenters can be easily isolated and dealt with.
That's the dream you're fightin' for, Red.
Now, if you really do want to keep your RI beaches, get on the technological progress train and support development of alternative energy that is truly economically superior.... well, some say wind is not going to be cost-effective, but geothermal developments are now a "thing". New plants being opened up out here where we have a lot of hot rock not too deep. Nuclear needs to be developed in a truly secure, safe manner. LENR has attracted investment now from the very elites I habitually decry. They're pouring millions into prototype plants right now. Solar has now become competitive with carbon-burning as a power resource as well. And yes those elites are putting solar panels on their mansions. All around California, solar panels are selling like crazy.
So, anyway, it looks to me like, even if a reasonable concern, the most effective way to respond is with the new technologies.
The only reason for the push on alarmism is truly for political control.
imo, political control that is detrimental to human progress.
