Merkel blasts Trump for being the ONLY G20 leader to reject Paris agreement on climate change
Daily Mail/UK, Jul 8, 2017

US President Donald Trump found himself alone at the G20 summit over climate change, as the other 19 members described the Paris climate accord as 'irreversible'.

Theresa May said she was dismayed about Mr Trump's decision to pull out of the international agreement although she remains hopeful the UK's close ally may rejoin the accord.

The Prime Minister said she has urged the president to rejoin the agreement and raised it with him on the sidelines of the G20 gathering in Hamburg, although it was not one of the items on the agenda in the formal meeting between the two leaders.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel today described the US position as 'regrettable'.

She told reporters at the end of the two-day meeting: 'I think it's very clear that we could not reach consensus, but the differences were not papered over, they were clearly stated.'

WWF climate and energy spokesman Manuel Pulgar-Vidal said: 'Implementing the Paris Agreement is in the interest of each nation.

'Effective climate strategies can help unlock new business and employment opportunities, renewable energy, health benefits, and a sustainable future for all.

'As G20 leaders join cities, companies and individuals around the globe in committing toward a climate-safe future, it must be crystal clear that there is no place for fossil fuels in this scenario. We can be stronger together for climate but we need to translate ambition into action now.'

No more US dollars to the "Green" slush fund.  This IS most regrettable for the remaining 19.   ^-^

Trump has it right and should Tweet this out to the world if he has to tweet.

If he actually did, it might put a bigger stake in the heart of this Dracula.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Like a teenager blasting their parents when their allowance is cut off.

BTW expressing regret isn't "blasting".

She is a Nancy Pelosi clone. An elitist crazy wacko Liberal. And, because she has decided to commit national suicide by destroying her own country, she want to make sure every other Western country does the same. She thinks the EU was a mutual suicide pact.


That's why she hates Trump, Poland, and Hungary. Trump refuses to follow her suicidal policies in the name of her stupid God of multiculturalism.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
