Trump blames Canada for wildfire smoke, says he'll add cost to tariffs
- damnesian 4mo agoit's not the world's biggest polluters' fault. of course not! they are sweet innocent money making angels.
- robocat 4mo agoChina produces over 2x the CO2 of the US. Although China is also the world's largest exporter of CO2 (embedded in products and services), the US is still behind. Current climate change really depends on cumulative historical CO2 emissions, where the US still leads.
- croes 4mo agoAnd how much of the China’s production is on behalf of western companies? We just outsourced our production to circumvent inconvenient laws like environmental protection and human rights. We should add that to a country’s CO2 budget, at least partially
- beloch 4mo agoMaybe if Trump weren't tariffing our lumber so much more of those trees would be providing cheap homes for Americans instead of burning! We're sorry America, but you're getting out trees one way or another. We're a little fuzzy when it comes to consent. But, hey, we know you understand.
- soupbowl 4mo agoCanada wouldn't allow those trees to be harvest anyways.
- cjbenedikt 4mo agoQuite right too. He should also add tariffs to climate change. There has to be someone he can slap a tariff on fir that...;-p
- marysminefnuf 4mo agowhats stopping canada the rest of the world from calling our bluff? like they can literally shut us down overnight and what would the presidemt do? nothing.
- beloch 4mo agoFull tit-for-tat retaliation for tariffs? That'd harm our own economy as much as the U.S.'s. We want fewer tariff's. Not more. Trump is most likely just trying to distract people from his Iran debacle, the cover-up of his involvement in the Epstein scandal, or whatever it is he's trying to do with the midterm elections. He's unlikely to follow through. It's better to wait and see what he actually does before taking any action.

- tjpnz 4mo agoCanada should respond in kind for the US making oil prices go up.
