The rest of the world doesn't care what your Emperor Trump feels like declaring. We're getting rid of coal because we see an obvious benefit to do so. You don't even need to believe in global warming to see why this is a good thing. So go ahead and mine all the coal you want, but don't be surprised when there's no export market for any of it.

Except John Oliver never said that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... If you're too impatient, skip to 2:45.

Your comment offends me. Tell me you real name and where you work so I can start a campaign to get you fired.

Honestly, I would never do that to anyone, but you don't seem to have that problem. If what he said had been a direct quote taken in proper context, he should have been reprimanded at worst, and that should have been the end of it. Unfortunately, there are apparently a lot of people out there like you with an axe to grind. You said it yourself. This was someone associated with a group who made decisions with an outcome you disagreed with, and this is an opportunity for you to attack that group by attacking one of its members. Your motives are not suspect; they are provably corrupt.

We used to have this concept of "innocent until proven guilty". I still think most western legal systems try to recognize this concept, but people like you seem to have found a way to circumvent that legal system entirely. This thing, whatever you call it, is definitely not justice. It's mob mentality. If you want to learn the difference, tell us what your real name is and where you work.
