Why Trump Needs To Dump The Paris Climate Agreement
During Donald Trump’s first successful presidential campaign, he promised to pull the U.S. from the Paris Agreement
He was unable to do so until the day after the 2020 election he lost, and the reprieve lasted only a little more than two months because Joe Biden rejoined the pact the day he was inaugurated.
It’s another one of the many of Biden’s messes that Trump has to clean up.
The U.S. should have never been a part of the Paris Agreement. Committing our country to cut ‘greenhouse gas’ emissions, which means reductions in ‘fossil fuel’ use, is foolish.
Reaching the made-from-thin-air global temperature target: requires government mandates, restrictions, and increased spending on politically trendy but expensive and unreliable ‘renewable’ energy; stunts economic growth; limits our choices, leaving many of them to be made by globalist elites; and is an abdication of our national sovereignty.
It is simultaneously meaningless and dishonest, a solution looking for a problem that doesn’t exist.
“The Paris Agreement has always been an expensive farce, a symbolic gesture masquerading as a global solution,” writes Charles Rotter in the Watts Up With That? blog.
“Its main purpose? To transfer wealth from productive nations to the politically corrupt under the guise of ‘climate justice.’ Of course, China — the world’s largest emitter — sits pretty with vague promises and no actual obligations. Trump’s exit from this scam is as much common sense as it is a necessity.”
Trump couldn’t withdraw the first time from the Paris deal until November 2020, because he was handcuffed by the previous administration, which wanted to fundamentally transform this country and saw the agreement as an instrument of destruction.
“President Obama’s negotiators wanted to ensure that it would take time for the U.S. to get out if there was a change in leadership,” the BBC explained.
So “no country could give notice to leave the agreement until three years had passed from the date of ratification,” and then it had to provide a 12-month notice to the United Nations.

Trump allready did that once, in a move of sensibility. Snoozy brought it back post haste in compliance with his ‘operators’.
I guess it will happen again.

The obvious scam is well past its expiration date. Plus, we have a tremendously onerous budget deficit to reduce.
No! Just plain No!
