It was one of the sillier agreements we had gotten into. It required us to cut back on emissions, hugely increasing costs and dialing back any chance for progress in most fields, quickly. While letting most other countries such as China, to keep right on polluting without restraint for the next 20 years.

And it was based on the completely unproven notion that man had had anything to do with the climate change we're seeing, or that he could do anything to reverse it. There has never been an iota of proof, despite the leftists searching for more than 40 years for it.

Obama's signing such a thing was a farce. Trump reversing it and pulling us out, was a return to the sanity we have long needed.

Exactly!


I am in my 60's, and I feel the same way. It's not for us that we care about such things ...

So does that mean science must be vetted by the Republican party, to be characterized as legitimate or illegitimate?

Indeed, the Pentagon, including James Mattis, are against Mr. Trump withdrawing from the Paris agreement:

I heard one prediction that the sea level will rise by 5 feet by 2100. Do you know why 2100 is chosen? Because most of us alive now won't be around to prove that wrong! More doom and gloom!
