..now here comes the reparations excuse

We're the worst abuser over the last century....so they get to put a lot more CO2 in the air....

(we were the worst abuser of putting lead in paint too....)

nope, it's like saying global warming is a scam...if China, India, and all those developing countries really believed in global warming....there's no way they would commit suicide by increasing their emissions....

You are talking about people. Does should have, does sensible leadership really work? Does it even exist?


If one leader thinks he has a sensible answer but another thinks it ought to go another way, how does one convince the other which way to go?

Since the way the Paris Climate Accords work financial is that "rich" countries pay into a "green fund" to assist developing countries in adjusting to climate change, the departure of the U.S. is a "climate catastrophe."
IE the globalist socialists can't get in our deep pockets to vacuum cash into the black hole designed to destroy us USA as founded. I'm delighted we're out of this scam and now to finish the job let's turn the UN building into a parking lot. Send the blue helmets packing and good riddance.

Says the person typing on his environment killer.

I know, your electronics are more important than the environment.

I'd post all the things that make its production so harmful, but you wouldn't care; it's the other guy who should sacrifice.

The real goal is money; otherwise, anyone who is serious about the environment would shred the Paris Accord.

Total Money, Power, and Control grab by the Left, using the Siren Song of "save the planet" to the useful idiots that believe them.

Seriously, who benefits from the US not being in the Paris Peace Accord? Who's hurt the most by stronger emission's controls? The fossil fuel industry (coal, oil, gas)!!! Why should I cry because a few board members and shareholders will have to wait another five years to afford a new 150 ft yacht, or be able to afford a down payment on a new Manhattan or Monaco pad? Why should I believe they have the salt of the earth type's best interest at heart?

You will be paying the price on climate change one way or the other, we are already paying millions to address the impacts. We aren’t out of the agreement, not until 2021 but in the meantime states are addressing climate change going forward, the GOP stands as the singular organization worldwide that is in denial.

Science doesn't care about politics. It just is what it is. You can interpret the findings of the scientists behind the IPCC anyway you like....but as we speak, the chemical, physical and biological reactions are happening as we type. They don't care that you think man-made global warming is a giant conspiracy.
