Look For Runaway Greenhouse To Start A Decade Earlier With Trumptards Ready To Burn More Coal Via New Leases Issued Today

Coming 10 years sooner: A Hellhole planet thanks to Trump

Three years ago, the Supreme Court's rightist nuts and Trump collaborators ruled the EPA lacked the power to regulate CO2 in line with the Clean Air Act. Now the 'chicken' are coming home to roost as we learned yesterday in an AP release, the Trump criminal administration plans - in the coming days - to hold the biggest coal sales in more than a decade. And, ironically, in that development, bringing the hell hole world of the runaway greenhouse a decade sooner to humanity.

According to the Associated Press report (appearing in The Denver Post):

"U.S. officials are offering for sale 600 million tons of coal next to strip mines in Montana and Wyoming. The sales are a signature piece of Donald Trump's ambitions to dig more coal from federal lands and burn it for electricity. Yet most power plants served by those mines plan to quit burning coal within ten years, an Associated Press data analysis shows."

So offering the biggest coal sale in ten years when the power plants are planning to stop burning it in ten years. This is what I mean by "Trumptards".

The Denver Post account goes on to note:

"Three other plants earmarked for expansions or new leases under Trump also face declining demand as power plants use less of their coal and in some cases shut down. This according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the nonprofit Global Energy Monitor."

And just who, pray tell, is going to buy all the 600 million tons of coal these Trumptards plan to sell? According to the AP:

"This question looms over this administration's enthusiastic embrace of coal, a leading contributor to climate change. It also shows the uncertainty inherent in inserting those policies into markets where energy producing customers make long term decisions with massive implications, not just for their own viability but for the future of the planet."

Again, Trumptards - or should we say, planetary arsonists?

The AP report in the Post goes on to note the upcoming lease sales in Montana and Wyoming are in the Powder Rive region, home to the most productive coal fields. Also noting Trump officials plan to go forward with it today, despite the government shutdown. In other words, they want to use the shutdown not only to fire tens of thousands more federal workers, and halt funding of green energy projects in blue states, but also get vastly more coal burning underway. To finish burning the planet to a crisp and the humans on it.

According to a Department of Energy formula which the Trump renegades have since erased from websites, burning the coal from the two leases being sold would generate more than one billion tons of planet warming carbon dioxide. This, added to what is already fueling climate change at the rate of 2.7 W/ m²per year, making it likely the runaway greenhouse will be underway by 2090, not 2100.

Recall that the past ten years, from 2015 to 2024, have been the hottest on record, with 2024 being the warmest year overall, according to scientific and weather organizations. This marks a significant shift, as all the warmest years in recorded history have occurred within this recent decade. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed that 2024 surpassed previous records, making it the first year to exceed the 1.5 degrees Celsius warming threshold above pre-industrial levels.

Recall also the demented excuse for a U.S. president called climate change a "con job" when he addressed the U.N. General Assembly in a Sept. 23 speech. He also praised coal as "beautiful" and boasted about the abundance of U.S. supplies while deriding solar and wind power.

The outburst left Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Mottley speechless, though when she recovered her equilibrium, she told the Bajan press it was the "most unhinged, ignorant speech by a leader" she'd ever seen or heard.

I am in total agreement, and remain embarrassed that so many idiot, ignorant fool voters could put this orange slimeball traitor and felon back into power.

And:
