“Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better.

“Split second decisions are needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!”

Trump's approach to the climate crisis gets even more embarrassing

The National Climate Assessment, reflecting the combined judgment of 13 federal agencies, from NASA to the Pentagon, was originally scheduled to be released late last year. The Trump administration, however, decided to move up the release date to Nov. 23 -- the day after Thanksgiving -- to help ensure the smallest possible audience for the information.

That's probably because the report was quite terrifying, warning of dramatic environmental, economic, and national security consequences resulting from an intensifying climate crisis. Asked for his reactions to the document, Donald Trump briefly pretended he'd "read some of it," before adding, "I don't believe it."

And who, pray tell, does the president believe? Some guy he saw on Fox News this morning. Trump published this tweet a few hours ago:

Quote:

"Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace: 'The whole climate crisis is not only Fake News, it's Fake Science. There is no climate crisis, there's weather and climate all around the world, and in fact carbon dioxide is the main building block of all life.' @foxandfriends Wow!"

As is too often the case, Trump has no idea what he's talking about. As Greenpeace USA explained soon after, "Patrick Moore was not a co-founder of Greenpeace. He does not represent Greenpeace. He is a paid lobbyist, not an independent source."

The environmental organization added on its website that Moore has been a "paid spokesman for a variety of polluting industries for more than 30 years."

Moore also happens to be an adviser to the Heartland Institute, a conservative advocacy organization that rejects the mainstream scientific consensus on the climate crisis...

Is Spartacus a nick name cooked up by our urban, sofisticated, man of the world Trump?

Look to POTUS for a textbook case not libs..

These people cannot be allowed to remain in power.

I on the other hand am a flawed Catholic. But it conforms to my flawed character.

If she believed the Russia/Trump collusion narrative we’ve paid half a billion dollars to follow up, would she let him walk?

Your hated democratic majority leader doesn't want to impeach your beloved president, and yet you can still find a reason to bitch about it?

@Olivier5,
I hate both of them and I want those millions back that they gave Mueller to find a reason to impeach him.

A January 2017 assessment by the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence claimed that Russian leadership favored presidential candidate Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, adding that Russian president Vladimir Putin personally ordered an "influence campaign" to harm Clinton's electoral chances and "undermine public faith in the US democratic process."[32] It is alleged that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election by bolstering the candidacies of Trump, Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein,[33][34] in order to increase political instability in the United States as well as to damage the Clinton presidential campaign.

Are you suggesting that the JD, Sessions, Rosenstein, Mueller and the National Intelligence Service were or are out to get Trump impeached?

Trump vowed to eliminate the debt in 8 years. He’s on track to leave it at least 50 percent higher.
