Truth can be painful. I've come to realize today that this country needs to split. We have nothing in common and this will never ever be resolved. If Canada asked the West Coast to join them, I would vote yes starting today. When half the country supports a president that absolutely DETESTS the environment and enacts endless policies to hurt in only four months and it becomes clear that nothing is too far, it is time for us to separately peacefully.
Careful, now...you're clutching your pearls so tightly you're at risk of damaging them.
The so-called Paris "Climate" Accord 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. Nothing but studies leading to more studies leading to even more studies, sometimes in a complete circle... and never coming up with any actual proof.
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.
He's pulling out to renegotiate a deal that's better than the Paris agreement and that benefits the US and not other countries. How do you lib-tards not understand this?
The lib-tards don't really get anything.......except blind hate.
Because we expect him to renegotiate the agreement in a similar fasion to how he renegoiated his promise to clamp down on Chinese currency manipyulation and making Mexico pay for the wall.
All Bull **** and no results. Trump is out of any climate agreements.......period. He'll probably send Ted Nugent to Paris to re negotiate. See how far we get towards a new deal and how serious he is. Fat Chance.
Trump, with no respect intended, you suck.
The Paris agreement was nothing but a disaster from the beginning for the US.
You must love big businesses and lots of regulations because that's who it benefits the most.
Firstly this is not just about jobs in the coal industry, favoring an industry that increases the cost of energy across the board is not favorable to any business.
Secondly some guy sweeping the floor in a warehouse full of Chinese panels is not a step up over the very high paying jobs in the fossil fuel industry.
Last but not lest the estimates on these "Green Jobs" have been vastly overstated at least under the Obama administration.
The fossil fuel industry is one of the top purchasers of heavy equipment, another sector with very high paying jobs.
Most of the oil in the US is from the US and that will continue to climb especially with the cost of oil going up. The next biggest sources are Canada, Mexico and other Central/South American countries. I don't think we imporat any oil at all from Russia and oil from the ME is in steady decline. It's no longer needed because we exploiting our own resources.
You just want to peddle your pellet heaters and spread coal ash (full of carcinogens) everywhere.
Where I live solar is very successful
