At least he hasn't started a war yet and it doesn't seems like he is planning to either.

Between

* extra energy consumption based on war efforts on both sides and rebuilding countries afterwards,

* as well as oil fields being literally set on fire,

that is a few tons of CO2 as well.

"hasn't started a war yet" - he was elected yesterday!

Yep. That is the "funny" part about it.

I don't like him but unless certain folks I respect that Americans disliked him less than the alternative.

This is known as "respect for the Democracy".

That said it seems he is less likely to start a war than the other candidate.

People say that, but Trump also promised to "end ISIS very, very quickly", and, during security briefings, was questioning why he couldn't use nukes
