The worst thing about Trump winning.

The worst thing about this Trump thing isn't even the horrific threat to women and to human rights in general. After all, he's only president of America.
 
The worst thing is the climate. 
 
Without American leadership on climate change, we're going to spend the next four years with our fingers in our ears pretending it doesn't matter while the CO2 content of our atmosphere - that stuff we breathe - goes up by 2 or 3 or maybe even four PPM a year, locking in every type of chaos imaginable.
 
While the circus was in town, we decided to slowly drown ourselves in our own shite.
 
Take a long hard look at the the numbers. Bad as it is, the carbon content of our air won't be this low again in our lifetimes.
 
But hey. Some people who think and speak entirely in slogans got to feel good about themselves, and that's what really matters, right?
