Mr. Trump has joined with his good buddies president Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, and the Kuwaitis in doing their best to cast doubt on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s special report on what happens if the average global temperatures rise by 1.5 Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit), and how to prevent average global temperatures from going even higher. Let's call this clique of the most corrupt governments on earth the Axis of Ignorance.

KATOWICE, Poland (AP) — A diplomatic standoff over a single word could set the stage for a bigger showdown during the second half of this year’s U.N. climate summit.
Negotiators took time out Sunday to rest after the first week of talks ended on a sour note the previous night, when the United States sided with Russia, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in blocking endorsement of a landmark study on global warming.
“I think it was a key moment,” said Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned Scientists. “The fact that a group of four countries were trying to diminish the value and importance of a scientific report they themselves, with all other countries, requested three years ago in Paris is pretty remarkable.”
It’s apparent that Donald Trump’s ties to Vladimir Putin and Mohammed Bin Salman extend to their rejection of the worldwide scientific consensus that urgent actions to slow Global Warming is imperative.
Will we sit by and watch the misguided greed of this Axis of Ignorance lays waste to our mother planet?
We simply can’t afford to.
