“Make Our Planet Great Again”
- deleted 9y ago[deleted]
- zitterbewegung 9y agoSo, why not choose the better acronym and use MEGA (Make Earth Great Again?
- spurcell93 9y agoYeah, MOPGA doesn't have the same ring to it. Sounds like a janitor's arch-nemesis.
- elif 9y agoi believe it is a direct quote from the french president. I own makeearthgreat.com though and would be happy to turn it over to a good cause. i used it to sell hats[0] in a vain attempt to get green party votes last election :( [0] http://politicaljunk.bigcartel.com/ http://politicaljunk.bigcartel.com/
- AlexanderDhoore 9y agoFirst it asks you a bunch of questions without telling you why. Then it tells you to move to France. Ok, no thank you, Belgium is fine for me.
- deadfish 9y agoYeah. I don't quite understand how that relates to the environment. Seems more like 'Make France great again' under the guise of 'Make our planet great again'
- indlebe 9y agoWhen Bjørn Lomborg and James Hansen agree that something (the Paris agreement) is a bad idea, I am willing to put aside the various world leader's enthusiasm and apply a bit of skepticism. Is capping the CO2 output of developed nations really the best and fairest approach here? I don't have the answers, but I'm not sure Paris does either.
- usaphp 9y agoI think the problem in USA right now is that a very vocal part of the country is very much against the president and his every decision will be judged without listening to his reasoning, that's a very bad situation, and I can't imagine how any president can be productive in this environment... Edit: I was not implying that what he did with Paris Agreement is right/wrong, I was just trying to tell that it's hard to work in an environment where every decision you make is judged with negativity right away.
- archgoon 9y agoOh, please provide a link to the presidents reasoning.
- usaphp 9y agoYou see, that's a classic example of that. No matter what information I provide you now - you are already looking at it with negativity and it will be near impossible to change.

- stinos 9y agoyou are already looking at it with negativity and it will be near impossible to change. Well, same can be said of you: I actually wanted to see reasoning and am willing to change my mind on the subject (well, actually not even change, as i don't have a single fixed stance on it because I know I lack the insight), but you're not providing information, instead responding with more negativity :]
- usaphp 9y agoI was not talking about this particular climate change action that he did, I was trying to say "in general" it's hard to change person's mind when he is already negatively looking at the subject.
- ocschwar 9y agoHe's doing it in English. For a French president to do that is impressive. France used to push real hard to restore their language to pre-eminence against English. Now, that is no longer their top concern.
- owlee 9y agoThis will amount to nothing.
