I didn't think it needed to be said due to how obvious it is.
But the far-right, Trump included generally whinges about political correctness... And then goes ahead and promotes political correctness because it fits in with their narrative.

Indeed, Trumps opponents who typically promote Political Correctness are being a little hypocritical as well.
I'm not one of them though. :P

Yeah. I don't think it will impact climate change efforts from either side.
The worst it will do is paint fossil fuels in a slightly more positive light for your average Patriot.

I think we are at that tipping point where the science is pretty solid on how fossil fuels affect climate, renaming a few things isn't likely to undermine that a great deal going forward.

>But this isn't Trump we're talking about: Mark W. Menezes and Steven Winberg are NOT Trump.

Two planes fly into two skyscrapers...

'Ah, nothing to look into here. Just a couple pilots who made a mistake. No biggy'... 'Terrorism? That's absurd, obviously that's not what happened. How do you explain them getting into the country, getting on the planes, getting control of the planes, veering way off course, avoiding the air force, and crashing them into those two specific buildings?'

'Oh... well then... who would have thought?'...

What are you getting at?

It's not Trump directly but you would think Trump would've been against it. It's possible he was and let it go. He can be controlling but is also a businessman and realizes you can't win them all, and to let them go, especially if it's small pea's. He also has been using lefty tactics and politics against their implementor's, so it's possible it was done on purpose. Hard to say.

I'm saying just because they haven't said or hinted that it has to do with climate change as well, doesn't mean it wasn't taken into account, and in time, it's probably likely we will find out if that was the case. The name change is fairly recent so time would be necessary to find out if there is more to it or not. Maybe it isn't and is a wasted opportunity for the fuel interests. Hard to say.
