                          1. We now have a president who believes all the talking points that were written to snow people about global warming.

                        2. Trump has no idea about the relative meaning of numbers beyond small/tiny and large/huge. He pitches $1B as huge waste of tax money.

                      3. Even more foreboding, here is a white nationalism that hates Europe. "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania not Paris, France."

                    Anti-European white nationalism is epically weird. But it’s also the white nationalism of settler colonies: pied noir or Rhodesians.

                  It resonates weirdly with Putin on horseback, Dylan Roof with his Rhodesian flag, and Confederate dead enders.

                4. While many have the impulse to paint climate policy in patriotic colors, but maybe there's something to embracing cosmopolitanism.

              We need to live in a more expansive world where US Americans can learn from others.

            The recent uptick in Tennesseeans’ support for universal health care is built on foreign examples. If Canada can have it, why not us?

          Also, the emotional heart of wanting to fix climate change is love for others, not love for self.

        5. Hatred of foreign aid is an intense theme. We have to talk honestly about global inequality…

      Otherwise, we can’t sell the truly massive amount of resource shifting necessary for Paris and its successors.

    6. Trump's angle against redistribution is resentment from people who think redistribution passed them by.

      If we want a transition for India & Africa, we need a transition for Appalachia and the Bakken w/in the USA
