Shakespeare Anagram: Troilus and Cressida
Saturday, June 3rd, 2017This week, President Trump announced that he is withdrawing us from the Paris Climate Accord.
Now, in all likelihood, Trump is using this as a starting position for a renegotiation. That doesn’t mean we won’t actually pull out of the accord, as it seems unlikely such a renegotiation will be possible.
What this is really about is President Trump trying to show up President Obama. In his mind, he’s the greatest negotiator who ever lived. In reality, how good is he? He couldn’t even talk Republicans into repealing Obamacare.
What’s really scary about this is that, despite the unprecedented international coordination that went into making the deal, experts agree that it didn’t go nearly far enough to slow down the warming of the planet. Further action will still be needed, and that is going to be extremely difficult politically.
But what we definitely don’t want to do is move in the opposite direction, which is what this president is threatening to do. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to undo the damage that is done, and future generations may just look that this as the moment when we passed the point of no return.
Anyway, enjoy the anagram.
From Troilus and Cressida:
Paris is dirt to him.
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
Idiot rips; it harms.
