Noam Chomsky: With Trump Election, We Are Now Facing Threats to the Survival of the Human Species...

Noam Chomsky, one of the most acclaimed, award winning intellectual powerhouses living today, has called Donald Trump a threat to the survival of the human species.

This is because Trump has called climate change a "hoax." He denies the ample science proving that climate change is a massive and growing threat to humanity.

Trump's epa pick will gut any regulations designed to save the planet. Trump's energy pick, Rick Perry, will shill for fossil fuels like never before. And the sea levels will continue to rise and the world will continue to warm.

There may be wars over the lack of living space and resources. Miami and New Orleans will be underwater, as will billions of people who live along the world's coastlines.

In fact, Climate change is probably the thing that will cause the most tension with other countries. Other countries aren't going to let themselves die because the cretinous game show host who runs America doesn't believe in science. They're going to pressure us, first economically then perhaps even militarily. If we insist on being the last polluter standing, things are going to get ugly. Nicolas Sarkozy of France has even proposed a tariff on all American goods if we pull out of the Paris trade agreement.

Trump's administration is dangerous in many, many ways, but it is most dangerous in the way it poses a threat to the health and safety of our environment. Trump and his cabinet's global warming denial and refusal to take measure s to stop climate change may well result in wars, massive refugee crises, and the extinction of humanity.
