The graph for cumulative glacier mass balance is quite sobering. The loss seems to be accelerating as well. This stuff is so depressing.

I’ll never forgive the US for pulling out of the Paris accords after we had gotten China to come to the table. That was our moment to get a real grip on this problem and we blew it. It’ll never come back, I’m convinced.

Can we be more specific and say it was Trump who pulled the US out of the Paris Accord, twice.

So no.

Well, a tiny fraction less than half the American people, at least the first time?

		In 2016 Trump got 46.1% of the popular vote vs Hillary Clinton's 48.2%. Expressed as fractions of the total US population in 2016: `- about 28.5% of the population was not eligible to vote (due to age or other reasons) - about 31.6% of the population was eligible to vote but did not vote for either candidate - about 20.4% of the population voted for Hillary Clinton - about 19.5% of the population voted for Trump` If approx 1 in 5 is 'tiny' then support for the alternative was also 'tiny'.
