Richard Branson: 'History will treat Trump incredibly unkindly'

Richard Branson says history will treat President Trump "incredibly unkindly" for pulling out of the Paris climate agreement.

"It just makes so many of us literally want to cry when for some bizarre reason the president of America decides to make such a catastrophic decision," the billionaire founder of Virgin told CNN's Poppy Harlow and John Berman on Friday.

He also challenged Trump's claim that rejecting the deal could save 2.7 million jobs in the United States.

"Hundreds of thousands of jobs could have been created in the clean energy sector if he had given it his support," Branson said.

He joins dozens of CEOs voicing their displeasure with Trump's decision, including the chief executives of Apple (AAPL, Tech30), Goldman Sachs (GS) and General Electric (GE). The CEOs of Disney (DIS) and Tesla (TSLA) stepped down from presidential advisory councils.

Trump styles himself as a savior of coal industry jobs. But Branson said, "The industries he's trying to protect, coal, they're dying industries."

Branson called it a "dreadful, dreadful day."

"It's a horrible loss what happened yesterday," he said, "and I think history will treat Trump incredibly unkindly for the message that he sent to the world yesterday."

trumpy will be every presidents low point relief

AT LEAST IM NOT AT TRUMPY LEVELS


he will be the forever worst president ever
 
Oh, somewhere in this big ol' world the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children
shout,
But there is no joy in Alarmville—mighty Paris has struck out.

Can you make up an original for each thread??
 
We are gathered here today to put the Paris Accords to rest. Though they filled our hearts with self-important joy, secure in the knowledge that we were saving Mother Earth, we have bigger issues to tackle - such as managing starlight and the orbital patterns of our galaxy. So rest easy, Paris Accords. We lament your cause was too small in the end.
 
The Paris accords are not dead, they are alive and well in just about every country except Syria, Nicaragua, and now us.
 
Remember Billy Bush was already fired, just for being in the bus with Rump.
 
The wailing and gnashing of teeth over the supposedly non binding agreement is hilarious. You folks better hope your unprecedented rate of warming returns in the raw data because the climate scientists have already made every possible adjustment they could have to enhance an anthropogenic signal. Adding .06 degrees C to reconstructed temp by adjusting towards a known warm bias is hardly convincing to anyone but those afflicted by confirmation bias. That's a lot of warming just tacked on there to make that hiatus go away.

If you want to know what I'm talking about you can google pausebuster
What you will hopefully find is Karl et al 2015 and if you actually read it you will find they used the ERSST v4 sea surface reconstruction
Here's the meat cut off the bone for you:

the buoys are adjusted to ship bias
http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds277.0/docs/ERSST.V4.P1.JCLI-D-14-00006.1.pdf

c. Ship-buoy SST adjustment
In addition to the ship SST bias adjustment, the
drifting and moored buoy SSTs in ERSST.v4 are ad-
justed toward ship SSTs, which was not done in
ERSST.v3b. Since 1980 the global marine observations
have gone from a mix of roughly 10% buoys and 90%
ship-based measurements to 90% buoys and 10% ship
measurements (
Kennedy et al. 2011
). Several papers
have highlighted, using a variety of methods, differ-
ences in the random biases, and
a systematic difference
between ship-based and buoy-based measurements,
with buoy observations systematically cooler than ship
observations (
Reynolds et al. 2002
,
2010
;
Kent et al.
2010
; among others). Here the adjustment is de-
termined by 1) calculating the collocated ship-buoy
SST difference over the global ocean from 1982 to
2012, 2) calculating the global areal weighted average
of ship-buoy SST difference, 3) applying a 12-month
running filter to the global averaged ship-buoy SST
difference, and 4) evaluating the mean difference and
its STD of ship-buoy SSTs based on the data from 1990
to 2012 (the data are noisy before 1990 due to sparse
buoy observations). The mean difference of ship-buoy
data between 1990 and 2012 is 0.12
8
CwithaSTDof
0.04
8
C (all rounded to hundredths in precision). The
mean difference of 0.12
8
C is at the lower end of pub-
lished values of 0.12
8
to 0.18
8
C (e.g.,
Reynolds et al.
2002
,
2010
;
Kent et al. 2010
). Although buoy SSTs are
generally more homogeneous than ship SSTs, they are
adjusted here because otherwise it would be necessary
to adjust ship SSTs before 1980 when there were no or
very few buoys. As expected, the global averaged
SSTA trends between 1901 and 2012 (refer to
Table 2
)
are the same whether buoy SSTs are adjusted to ship
SSTs or the reverse. However, the global mean SST is
0.06
8
C warmer after 1980 in ERSST.v4 because of the
buoy adjustments (not shown) and there are therefore
impacts on the long-term trends compared to applying
no adjustment to account for the change in observa-
tional platforms.

History doesn't need to base its unkind treatment of Orangetweet on the Paris Accord. It has plenty more to go on.
 
History will remember America unkindly. America is no longer a world leader, just another country -- like Syria and Nicaragua.
