Going to war with Iran increased interest in electrical vehicles and solar power. So, it is the second.

Still convinced this is the only scenario where he would be an environmentalist:

🤣

Trump's Green New Deal!

Isn't science wonderful.....

And making oil literally worthless! 0$

That will get him to find a sure way to kill it.

Trump has gone 'green'

I love this because he will hate it

The green president

Trumps screwing with both the solar panel market inside the US and the oil market globally has done more to advance renewable energy worldwide than decades of climate activism. It's probably fairer to say that all the positive things Trump has done have happened by accident rather than by design.

It’s because him and his regime are sucking up all our essential air. Have you heard him when giving speeches lately - he sounds horrible and labored to breathe. Algae Karma for the win!

also shutting down spirit airlines lol

You should see the inside of his underwear.

Trump should be awarded a “Worlds #1 EV salesman” trophy. He’s so focused on himself he’d probably post about it on SM.

The Reflecting Pool algae bloom is wild but worth the nuance: algae do produce O2, but eutrophication (excess nutrients) that causes the bloom usually means dead zones downstream. It's less 'nature wins' and more 'we're seeing the side effects of runoff.' Still, the irony is chef's kiss.

down with black hair algae! unless you keep amano shrimp or nerite snails!

Don't forget the tarriffs reducing global trade and therefore CO2 emissions for a bit

I'd argue that refinery fires cause no net impact on emissions since just about everything at a refinery is destined to be burned by definition. Meanwhile, closing Hormuz has caused production cuts in the area, so more oil is staying in the ground.

War in general is a giant source of emissions. If it was just a blockade it might be a negative source, but ... I'd guess the destabilizing effect of these wars will increase global military spending for some time. Probably lower the hurdle for new wars. earth.org/warfare-now-...

😆😆😆

Hate to admit it, you are right. DAMMIT!🤣

iran has closed the reflecting pool.

And there's no aquatic life to fuck over in it, its honestly a win win

Something something something Green Party

If he's not controlling the algae, he's probably also not controlling mosquitoes. (However, they're not, as a species, an endangered species, so no environmental points there.)

Saw this screenshotted in a Facebook group and had to come and find the original 😂😂😂

This was by now a fairly old school climate solution, but one nobody ever demonstrated would actually work at scale, not least because the algae mostly oxidise back to co2 when they die.

We just have to stop RFK Jr from bottling and selling it.

Lovely way to ‘reflect’ on the whole episode. 😂 Personally I think attacking Iran will be the list pro-climate thing any American president has ever done.

Too funny. He accidentally fell in to a liberalism.

Just doing my job.

Well, It’s the greenest thing he has done, clearly.

I for one welcome our CO2-munching, oxygen-producing tiny green single-celled overlords!

Like I keep saying. Algae has a well known liberal bias.

Thankyou AC.

We probably shouldn't mention this too loudly. If it hears, it'll decide to pave over the pool.

Don’t.

Unless they're cyanobacteria, in which case ingesting them will turn your brain into Jello & you'll start voting Republican.

You grant him credit for a puddle's work while the strait burns. That is not praise — it is a pardon dressed as a footnote.

oh my god

!!!

Slime baby slime

"Draining the swamp" was an anti-environmentalist agenda the whole time?

Mme. Mack. Don't encourage him. #🤪

Explains why he took time to meet with the filtration contractors.

Haha I just posted nearly the same thing!

If someone would tell him this, he would say this was the intention. He would then have to explain the vandalism lie😁

And source of protein... Don't tell him ! 🙈😁

It all depends on what happens to the carbon in the algae after it dies. If it rots it may turn back into carbon dioxide and methane. So we need to make him collect it and bury it.

😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Congratulations DJESSICA Trump for helping defeat climate change

He's taking care of that by killing the algae.

Gas at $6 a gallong would like a word… That’s something that no president has ever achieved before.

XD

Blue green algae which is the same stuff that's in Trumps pool is a heavy pollutant that harms all local waterways with toxins and depletes oxygen levels massively

ALGTIFA needs 🫵

Send in the national guard! Oh wait...

The problem is, that algea also decompose and set the CO2 free again. But if we throw the algea into a pyrolysis reactor, we can get energy and charcoal out of it that traps half of the carbon for millions of years ! We would need more reflexting pools tho.

He's calling it sabotage in the hope his pro-environment bias won't show, but wait until he starts releasing plecos.

They can also be very very toxic, so keeping folks from poking about the water isn't *entirely* a heavy-haded police state kind of thing.

MAKE ALGAE GREAT AGAIN.

Remember when oil from algae was all the rage for aircraft?

Since the Earth's atmosphere was pretty much devoid of oxygen before microbial photosynthesis evolved a couple of billion years ago, algae are basically the reason we have breathable air in the first place.

This is Trump's Green New Deal.

the art of the green new deal continues apace

Hence his fury

Well, it's all a matter of proportion. Trump's meddling has caused a harmful algal bloom, which will deplete dissolved oxygen due to algal decay, and kill everything that shares its environment. So, no.

Yeah but the (BOD) biological oxygen demand goes way up when the algae dies, effectively killing all life in the water body so? www.epa.gov/nutrientpoll...
