Trump needs to keep his promise and dump the Paris Agreement

On the campaign trail last year Donald Trump ranted against “draconian climate rules,” vowed to “cancel” the Paris climate agreement and withdraw any funding for United Nations programs related to global warming. It’s time to make good on those promises.

 

Climate change is a scam; a “hoax,” as Trump called it numerous times during the campaign. He was right. In the words of U.N scientists themselves, it’s a global wealth redistribution program ~

So it’s basically bogus. The false conclusion that we’re headed for runaway climate change of some type or other, caused by – and thus controllable by – human acitivity, is based entirely on flawed models (as I’ve mentioned many times).

 

And this nefarious “Paris Agreement” – signed by more than 170 countries – is a major step toward global control over most aspects of our lives. Consider the following (as explained by CNS News) ~

The treaty aims to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
 
The means of accomplishing this goal largely center on reducing carbon dioxide emissions by transitioning the global energy economy away from affordable, dependable conventional sources of energy.
 
Countries involved in the agreement each submitted nationally determined contributions, setting their respective obligations for keeping temperatures in check.
 
As a member nation, the U.S. also submitted its goals under the Obama administration. The domestic regulations listed by the Obama administration aimed to reduce greenhouse gas levels across the entire economy by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels by the year 2025.
 
The U.S. regulations alone would increase energy costs for U.S. families and businesses, causing an overall average shortfall of nearly 400,000 jobs and total income loss of more than $20,000 for a family of four by the year 2035 (!)

 
And the ultimate insanity ~

Compliance with the Paris Agreement will cost the global economy trillions of dollars over the next 80 years. Yet the results will be almost zero reduction in projected warming, even if every country met their respective carbon dioxide reduction targets as promised under the agreement.

 

Mr. Trump, those of us who voted for you, reluctantly or not, trusted that you would keep your word and withdraw the United States from this dangerous treaty that will do far more harm than good. Don’t let us down.

The most important decision Donald Trump will likely make in his four years as president faces him now. He’s apparently on a knife-edge over what to do. On the one side is massive public pressure from virtually every elite institution in the U.S. and around the world. That reaches from the U.N. to the pope, from science gurus to policy wonks. Voices within his own team urge Trump to flip on this key campaign promise: To withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Climate Accord.
 
It’s crucial that President Trump resist these voices. He must stay true to his voters. Not because campaign promises are sacred. Not because the agreement might hurt him politically. No, the fact is that this treaty is its own catastrophe. Its results on the poorest around the world, on personal freedom and economic growth, are not just predictable: They are certain.

 
Furthermore,

How do you think environmental initiatives are going in Venezuela right now? In Syria? In Libya? Without the peace, plenty, and order that come with a basically free economy, you will never see a cleaner earth. For more proof, look back at the appalling environmental record of the former Soviet Union. It poisoned whole regions and actually dried up one of the earth’s seas. But it still couldn’t feed its people.
