BREAKING. Trump To Order US Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord

Posted at 1:02 pm on January 30, 2017 by streiff


I would have posted this sooner but I had to grab my power washer and blow liberal brain matter and skull fragments off my window.


The United States will switch course on climate change and pull out of a global pact to cut emissions, said Myron Ebell, who headed U.S. President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) transition team until his inauguration.


Quote
“(Trump) could do it by executive order tomorrow or he could do it as part of a larger package,” Ebell told a conference in London on Monday. “I have no idea of the timing.”

Trump, a climate change doubter, campaigned on a pledge to boost the U.S. oil and gas drilling and coal mining industries by slashing regulation. He also promised to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement aimed at curbing global warming.

Trump’s administration has asked the EPA to temporarily halt all contracts, grants and interagency agreements pending a review, according to sources.

I’m fine with environmental stewardship, we should want to leave our kids a world at least as good as the one we inherited, but the global warming scaremongering is enough to put you off your feed. Naturally, Armageddon looms if we leave this agreement:

United Nations climate chief Patricia Espinosa has warned US President Donald Trump not to pull out of the Paris climate accord.


Quote
“Ultimately, this is about the competitiveness of the United States,” Espinosa, a former foreign minister who heads the Bonn-based UN Climate Change Secretariat, told dpa in an interview.

During the election campaign, Trump repeatedly called for a renegotiation of the UN accord, whose aim is to keep global temperature increases well below 2 degrees Celsius by transforming the global economy away from fossil fuels this century.

Quote
“We do not know what he will do – all we know so far is that his stance differs from that of the Obama administration,” Espinosa said.

Good call. We never ratified it so this isn't a Constitutional conflict with Congress.

Another opportunity for our worthless ex-President to chime in for more community action (read rioting).  The media will lap up this drivel.

   In spite of Pres. Trump's consternations, I'm still not tired of winning.  I'm an addict that way, all that 'everything in moderation' is for losers.

Is this the one that exempted China and India?

They'll stand arse deep in snow and tell us how we're all going to burn up from global climate change.

You'd think some of them would be relieved and slowly just quit mentioning that scam, but maybe I give them credit for more integrity than they have.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This will probably get Barry off the golf course for sure and he'll be 'weighing in' with his words of wisdom.  Only problem is ... Trump has already made his opinion very insignificant (he just doesn't know it yet).  :silly:
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
