      Literally fucked over the entire world.

      Idk. Pinching off the global supply of fossil fuels at the urethra might actually save more people than it kills in the long run.

      Fucking nightmarish way to go about it, but Trump may go down in history as the single most influential US President when it comes to curbing carbon emissions.

        The only silver lining here: this may be the push needed towards alternative fuel sources. Nuclear and solar/wind plz?

      Fed feet first into a wood chipper would also be an acceptable solution.

          Feet first they get to suffer and contemplate exactly what is happening to them, and their powerlessness.

    Shouldn’t it be the offense secretary in this case. As leader of the department of war.

    And being an offensive prick, ofcourse.

Rules:

1. Be civil

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
