Interestingly Trump, despite what his people says, feels immigration is a more important issue than economy in order for people to vote for him.

Chinese cheap labor is skilled labor. You are not getting engineers etc. coming over the border.

Back to climate change for a moment. The Washington Post highlighted the chart below as a "warning" with respect to increasing global temperatures, and of course, man's guilt in that increase. Color me a simpleton, but the chart tells me something entirely different. From what I see, the global mean is considerably warmer than today - a whole lot warmer. In fact, as the article notes, humans emerged during one of the coldest periods in the earth's history. Unlike the article, I think it is a form of extreme hubris that we can somehow keep the planet's temperature at that low point. Perhaps a far better use of our resources and intellect would be better spent upon strategies to prosper in the coming warmer planet.

The chart numerology does not print, but it begins at 485 million years ago. The expanded segment covers the past 20,000 years. The Post article and their conclusions are linked below.
