Donald Quixote — now literally TILTING AT WINDMILLS in his QUEST to save the world from wind cancer. (Maybe if you RUN THE WINDMILLS BACKWARDS it will cure cancer?)

People of Holland, land of windmills, among the healthiest on earth (THANK YOU Universal Health care), shaking their heads in disbelief as American credibility takes another hit.

The TrumpubliCON war against science continues.

Anti-climate science. Anti-biology (evolution; vaccinations). Some now believe in a flat earth and geocentric solar system.

And now it is … WIND CANCER!

::: rolling eyes :::

There is multiple sources from coal, causing cancers, but don’t forget the “downwinders” from our above ground nuclear tests. The key is we have to be more sensible, and aware, of our impacts from excessive energy use, and that includes “alternative” energy that isn’t environmentally harmless. It’s called, conservation.

That’s not stupid enough… he said windmill noise causes cancer….

Any bets on how many Trump Disciple comments about this subject?

Windmills cause cancer?!No, no, no. That makes no sense.Unless they maybe end up blowing smoke etc from the coal plants.

What’s even sadder about this is that it is NOT AN EXAGGERATION WHATSOEVER!!! Yes, that ignorant FAT-ASS really did say that the noise from “Windmills” causes cancer!

DEAR GOD, how can people STILL believe a THING that fat, maggot-ridden sack of decaying dog droppings says?

And then Trump went looking around for a cliff.

Windmills cause cancer. Noisy windmills cause cancer. Vaccinations cause autism. Tax cuts decrease the deficit. The sun orbits the earth. The earth is flat. The Holocaust never happened. Men make better reproductive decisions than women. Women expect to be groped and objectified. Well, after all, even Pontius Pilate asked, “What is truth?” Too bad Pilate lived before Rudy Giuliani who could have straightened him out on that issue. /s

Now, Now Friends. Tiny left out the most important disadvantage of using wind generated power to save the planet. These windmills reek and stink – that’s smell bad, because of all the rotting bird bodies baking in the sun below the blades. I feel sorry for those who are down winders from windmills. I hear folks saying that their property will values sink to almost nothing if these monstrosities are erected, even in the bay area.

Of course wind causes cancer. It’s what blows all those fumes to us.

Coal companies get tax breaks from Republicans and then give republicans ‘donations’, or bribes as they are called elsewhere.

Republicans want to destroy the public health care system even though 500,000 families in the USA go bankrupt every year due to medical costs.

Every other civilized nation in the world has socialized medicine, we do not because republicans object to it.

House Republicans urge drug companies to refuse to comply in drug price investigations.

House Republicans urge drug companies to refuse to comply in drug price investigations.

Republicans need to become more human and less greedy.

One side note: areas down wind from coal burning power plants measure 100 times as much radiation as areas downwind from nuclear power plants. Coal contains traces of uranium, thorium and radon, and it all goes into the air.

The planet now points to a slightly different North Pole because we’re redistributing too much mass on the earth right now through melting of glaciers, and then letting that water run-off into the ocean and get spread around towards the equator."

- William Colgan , Senior researcher at Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland

“I didn’t expect the tie-in with temperature to be as strong as it was,” Walsh said. “All the variables are connected with temperature. All components of the Arctic system are involved in this change.

“Because the Arctic atmosphere is warming faster than the rest of the world, weather patterns across Europe, North America and Asia are becoming more persistent, leading to extreme weather conditions,” Box said. “Another example is the disruption of the ocean circulation that can further destabilize climate: for example, cooling across northwestern Europe and strengthening of storms.”

Arctic forests are turning into bogs as permafrost melts beneath their roots. The icy surface that reflects the sun’s radiation back into space is darkening and sea ice cover is declining. Warmth and moisture trapped by greenhouse gases are pumping up the water cycle, swelling rivers that carry more sediment and nutrients to the sea, which can change ocean chemistry and affect the coastal marine food chain. And those are just a few of the changes.

The researchers describe how warming in the Arctic, which is heating up 2.4 times faster than the Northern Hemisphere average, is triggering a cascade of changes in everything from when plants flower to where fish and other animal populations can be found.

Together, the changes documented in the study suggest the effects on the region are more profound than previously understood.

Remember, Trump said we only mine clean, clean coal now. This allows us to get rid of, among other things, cancer causing wind turbines.

Such a blatant ploy! OMG. Air as opposed to coal burning smoke and ash. Not to mention the dust the miners deal with.

McConnell is ignoring all legislation in favor of packing the courts with right-wing judges. Hopefully there are enough people working on climate change solutions to bypass the RW who only have interest in their money. It sickens me that these Repubs don’t care about their own children and grandchildren.

What happened to Andylit and the others who like Trump’s policies?

Has he no defenders stepping up to justify his claims?

I can’t recall Il Douche promoting cigarettes and tobacco. Hm. Why not?!

Reagan used to do cigarette commercials.

Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason. Mark Twain
