President Trump Starts Process to Pull Out of Paris Climate Accords

The Paris Climate Agreement didn’t provide a practical way to “fight climate change”. Neither did it provide details on how, exactly, we were going to reduce greenhouse gases or reduce global temperatures.
The accord required countries to spend more on initiatives that favor green energy and combating climate change. Additionally, countries with more money were going to give money to poor countries so that they too, like the rich countries, could spend money on their climate change initiatives.
However, the U.S. is doing good, with regards to reducing emissions, without the requirements of the accord.
From The Hill:
“President Trump made the decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement because of the unfair economic burden imposed on American workers, businesses, and taxpayers by U.S. pledges made under the Agreement,” Pompeo said. “The United States has reduced all types of emissions, even as we grow our economy and ensure our citizens’ access to affordable energy.”
“The U.S. approach incorporates the reality of the global energy mix,” he added, arguing “innovation and open markets” will drive emissions reductions.
Trump’s views on the deal have been widely criticized by Democrats, environmentalists, and even some Republicans, who say the U.S. is abdicating global leadership at a time when urgent action is required to stem the most dangerous impacts of climate change.
The Hill has details on the story. Here is the text of the agreement. The U.S. is already doing a part of what is in this agreement. The text also has unrealistic objectives… keeping “global warming” below a certain limit. The Earth is going to get warm or cold without our help. This is all a natural process.

Well I reckon since the US Taxpayer funded the defeat of several different regional/world conquests attempts, then we must therefore fund the saving of the world from naturally occuring weather. Hell to the yes pull us out of this “agreement.” And while you’re at it Mr. President, pull us out of the ME/SW Asia mess too. And throw the UN out of New York. But I digress.
Why is it that the whole world seems to assume that we the people of the US are responsible for all of the ills of the world. We only helped to fuel the industrial revolution that helped drag them all out of the literal dark ages to create the highest standards of living ever. How much did oblowme piss away on his what, Solondra (?) fiasco? Seems like there were several more examples of boondoggles we paid for that didn’t do anything more than to enrich the ones slurping at the taxpayer trough. China is pumping how much pollution into the air with their manufacturing? And that’s just the big one. Georgia Power, locally, spent billions of dollars on scrubbers for a coal plant over the last few years. They spent several billions more changing the coal handling yard at the same plant. This plant is now running nearly as clean as a natural gas plant. The Europeans have shut down their coal production shutting down all types of jobs in mining, transport ect and lots of their people are getting cold in the winter now. I’m not saying we shouldn’t try to clean up our mess to have clean air and water. I’m saying the US Taxpayer should not have to pay for a world mandated tax for everyone else mess. Fossil and nuclear fuels are still the most efficient way to generate electricity and without electricity life as we know it would come to a screeching halt.
I don’t see any of the eco hippies parking their jet planes. Talking to you Al Gore, using the innerwebznet thing that you invented. /s/
NOT JUST Al Gore Junior, I’d also say that to the likes of that snotnosed candyass Leonardo DiCrappio, John Travolta and a manifold number of pampered prissyassed Hollywierd and DC mega-hypocrites!
The old saying goes like this: weather it’s hot or weather it’s cold, there will be weather, weather or not.
I think you misspelled a word or too there, smart guy.
Check too, er..two 🙂

That’s one of my favor Trump memes. Great work on creating that picture.
Manmade Glow-bull Warming is totally fabricated BS. Designed by the global elites to obtain more control over the populace of the developed world and generate massive wealth grabs. It is not a coincidence that the Algore is now a multi-multi millionaire and has never created anything tangible of value. This carbon credit racket basically creates millions out of a scientifically unprovable theory. The sun likely has more influence on the earth’s temperature and climate than CO2 or other so-called greenhouse gases could ever have. Moreover, the Paris accord has and will have zero effect on what China, India, and the rest of the Third World will do carbon-wise.
