Since Brexit and then Trump.....

....no one talks about the imminent demise of mankind caused by Global Warming.

It's almost like the snowflakes have a new list of pointless bollox to get all upset about.

Snowflakes, no attention span.

It does feel like a pandemic event is nearing, the earth has a way of giving mankind a big slap every so often.

You mean except that a huge part of the uproar against Trump is specifically about his stance on Climate Change? There's a fair bit of similar stuff related to Brexit too.

One might also make the observation that when you're mugged by a drugged up loon with a knife and a twitchy hand, you're not worrying about whether the 20 cigarettes you smoke every day are going to kill you.

so the EU is "a drugged up loon with a knife" and Trump is the "a twitchy hand", thanks for clearing that up.

Unless you think the EU is controlling Trump that doesn't even make a tiny bit of sense, even for comedy's sake.
Can you try harder please?

Still not get DP's original point... climate was probably THE biggest concern people outside the US have with Trump before the "Muslim Ban" controversy flared up.

Brexit and Trump have one thing in common - both will accelerate the relative decline of the respective countries they apply to.
In the US this will be disguised by an artifical boom to start with.
Britain is not large enough to matter any more, but an economically struggling hegemon like the US will be a dangerous thing in all sorts of ways.

Don't be so literal, sometimes words can paint a picture without actually following reality there are actually some writers that were quite good at it.

So its your contention most people were more worried about what The Donald was going to do to seal watching budgets than a Misogynist, sex attacker fantasist getting his hands on the nuclear football. Hmm I think that is the point you jumped the shark.

You can try to defend your attempt at humour, it's all subjective I suppose and many will bay with coarse laughter at anything negative about the EU without stopping to think if it even makes sense.

From the news coverage I saw, yes. It's the single issue picked on most by people including Obama as well. People are horrified a person like Trump can be president but in terms of how he's going to affect the world rather than who he is personally, climate is right up there. I didn't see many protesters with signs "I'm worried about nuclear war affecting the world my children will live in".

any facts to support that flight of fantasy?

Don't seem to be many protests over green issues more his unsuitability for presidency based on treatment of women, race & competence issues.

I'm certain most people are concerned about green issues just not as much as you dream.

At least your Shark will be warm.
