Man made climate change is very real and global warming is a fact of life.   There is 3% of scientists that disagree, which doesn't mean anything.   97% agree it's true.
someone needs to make real changes to stop global warming and Obama lead the charge. Was it the most affective? Probably not, but you now have china moving to greener forms of hydro generation and will now be leading the charge.   This is a huge development over the past few years.
doing nothing is not an option anymore, and changes and having to adapt are going to be costly but green technology costs are falling and if the US funds and promotes green technologies they will be well positioned to profit from it.
 
 

Just watched the latest installment of SSL.   (Sean Spicer Live)   A week earlier, Spicer said Trump's tweet "speaks for itself" and declined to provide any further explanation.   Now Sean Spicer said Trump wasn't referring to wiretapping when he tweeted about wiretapping.  "The President used the word wiretaps in quotes to mean, broadly, surveillance and other activities."  Spicer added that Trump was not accusing Obama of personal involvement   Re-read the tweets and see how this jibes.....  
  Any impartial observer could easily conclude that the Donald directly accused a past President of a felony, and repeated it multiple times - without a shred of evidence.   FBI, Justice Department and even the Republicans on the NSC, found zippo.   Today, still nothing - except for the tough guy straight shooter Trump, simply trying to spin it and weasel his way out.    An apology would require just a touch of decency or class......but we are dealing with an empty vessel here.   Tough for Angry Spice.... as he has to keep the massive pile of BS, stacked to the ceiling......from falling over.   This administration is turning serial lying and distortion of facts (alternative) into an art form.    
 
       

Problem is that they didn't report that at all.  They only reported that Trump people were recorded but on who's phone?  If it was a Russian line being tapped and they happened to get recordings of Trump people, that's a far cry from Trump himself being the subject of wire-tapping.

https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2017/03/07/parliament-to-debate-vote-on-genetic-testing-bill-after-months-of-lobbying-from-both-sides.html  It is a rarity that a private member's (Liberal Senator) bill becomes law, so Harper can't really take credit for this.  Liberal MP Rob Oliphant is shepherding it through right now.  It should be noted that BC, Quebec and Manitoba (lead by a Premier who amassed his fortune in the insurance industry) are the Provinces questioning the Constitutionality of this measure.  This one is pretty muddy.  There is either a real Constitutional issue here or the insurance industry got to Trudeau - or a bit of both.
 

Yes, of course it is okay to have meetings with people.
It is not okay to meet with them so you can conspire to break the law.
I don't know whether the law was broken, but I think that there is ample grounds for suspicion.
I've laid out a bunch of the specific oddities that have raised questions, and they go far beyond "a guy met with a guy." 
Like, for instance, how did Roger Stone know in September about the Podesta email drops in October? What was up with that? Why did Manafort lie about his Ukranian millions? Why did Sessions immediately deny meeting with the Russians when that wasn't even the question that Franken asked?  What in hell is Carter Page's deal and why was he trying so hard to get himself subpoena'd on MSNBC last night?  Why are intelligence committee Republicans calling for special prosecutors?  Why are Republicans now calling for Trump to open up his tax returns?
It's probably not super useful to reiterate all this, because you've got your worldview and your team and your dank talking points, but whatever.
