Noticed that the water is now blue.

Yay Detroit's little cousin now has blue water.

Yep, and America did that without being part of some International Climate Scam.

And the steel industry up and leaving mostly for the aforementioned China. They dont innovate shit, they just steal our shit.

Some of it was offshoring but much of it was things like catalytic converters. Environmental Regulations

I am sure that something that hasn't happened is certain never to happen... we will bank on that. Besides, steal or innovated... makes no difference, if they are doing it, and we ain't, guess who is going to be making money out of it.

Yeah, Pittsburgh, lol.

The city of Pittsburgh aims to transition to 100% renewable energy sources - like wind and solar - by 2035. On June 2, Mayor Bill Peduto said that he is joining a coalition that intends to uphold the Paris Agreement, called Mayors for 100% Clean Energy.

But I guess Trump thought of Pittsburgh being a city loving all that clean coal.

Anyway, whole thing was Trump working on his political base. Got to keep that base with, at least.

And this is Pittsburgh in 1975:



Noticed that the water was once brown.

Hey, that looks perfectly natural. Brown's the colour of nice, good soil. Water assuming the colour of dirt just means it's become twice as natural.

[Alexander PhiAlipson]

The water is both blue and brown!

What sorcery is this?

The water is now both blue and brown, but switched around.

What's a confluence? Why would they call their stadium Three Rivers?

EU to bypass Trump administration after Paris climate agreement pullout

The European Union has rejected Donald Trump’s offer to renegotiate the Paris climate agreement and pledged instead to bypass Washington to work with US business leaders and state governors to implement the historic accord’s commitments.

Less than 24 hours after the US president announced his decision to withdraw from the 2015 agreement and strike a new, less ambitious deal with the rest of the world, Brussels declared its outright refusal to engage in such talks.

EU officials will instead cut out the White House to deal directly with the US states and major corporations, many of whom have already pledged to live by the terms forged in Paris.

China and EU strengthen promise to Paris deal with US poised to step away

China and the EU will forge an alliance to take a leading role in tackling climate change in response to Donald Trump’s expected decision to pull the US out of the historic Paris agreement.

...

But Beijing and Brussels have been preparing to announce their intention to accelerate joint efforts to reduce global carbon emissions.

According to a statement being prepared before an EU-China summit in Brussels on Thursday and Friday, the new alliance will say they are determined to “lead the energy transition” toward a low-carbon economy.

The EU’s climate commissioner, Miguel Arias Cañete, told the Guardian: “The EU and China are joining forces to forge ahead on the implementation of the Paris agreement and accelerate the global transition to clean energy.”

Cañete continued: “No one should be left behind, but the EU and China have decided to move forward. Our successful cooperation on issues like emissions trading and clean technologies are bearing fruit. Now is the time to further strengthen these ties to keep the wheels turning for ambitious global climate action.”

Interesting. It would seem Trump has succeeded in forcing a realignment in the geopolitical world. China and the EU (as well as some US-based multi-national corporations) have begun aligning together against the US and UK. Perhaps the world is deciding the so-called anglosphere nations are rouge actors and are moving to sanction and contain them? Could Canada and Australia be next on the hit list?

You guys are right, this is really exciting!
