the people currently running the US are OIL/petroleum people. they have avested interest in maintaining the fossil fuel monopoly of energy running as long as possible. global warming is a fossil fuel issue. the less said about it the better, for them.
Now, the other reason the current administration has issues with this is that they are fundamentalist christians, who firmly believe in the coming (soon) armageddon and the second coming of christ. they support israel because as stated in the bible, the state of israel must exist to be destroyed in the rapture. these people REALLY BELIEVE this bullshit.
when this is yr main mindset, why care about the future? they do not believe in a future.
