#America - when all your neighbors no longer have a favorable opinion of you, even though they used to think positively of you, and most of the rest of the world also do not like you - you must have done a "great job"! #USA #TACO #tRump #sucks #POTUS47 🤮🤦‍♂️👇

"HOW GLOBAL OPINION OF AMERICA CHANGED
Countries with more favorable vs more unfavorable views of the U.S."

Screencap of a section of the Gwynne Dyer analysis published by the Bangkok Post, which reads as follows:
"All the CEOs and CFOs in the big oil companies know that fossil fuels will eventually have to be abandoned because of their catastrophic effect on global warming. They have known it since the 1960s because their own scientists told them so. They are not true "denialists", who actually believe what they are saying. They are just liars.
Their strategy for 50 years now has been to keep the show on the road at least until they have had time to make their pile and retire. At least ten generations of senior oil execs have made their piles since then.
They spread doubt and confusion, bribed and smeared, and probably slowed the process of ending fossil fuel use by several decades. But all good things must end."
Amen!🙏🍀🤞
