Let me preface this by saying I believe president Trump is a man lacking in moral character. There is much I don't like about him. But let's deal with the president we've got. I just read the Paris climate accords and Trump is right that they are vague and offer suggestions with no clear metrics as guides to keeping global rise below 2 degrees. Developed countries are to contribute whatever public money they feel is right for them as well as give to less developed countries. And we all have seen what happens when these poorly run countries get free money! Corruption, thievery, fraud, waste , etc. It is terribly written and unenforceable. Good on him for saying no! If the Gates' and Zuckerbergs of the world want to contribute to the cause it's in there too, that they will accept outside contributions. It doesn't need to be the government doing it, the business can voluntarily limit greenhouse gasses. Thanks Donald!

It helps when actual facts are used. :oops:

Industrialized countries have voluntarily pledged $10.3 billion since 2013 to help poorer nations reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address the effects of climate change. The United States has pledged by far the most — $3 billion, twice that of the second-largest pledger, Japan. But on a per-capita basis, many other countries have offered more than the United States. Swedes, for example, will contribute nearly $60 each.

Among the latest projects: development of irrigation and groundwater replenishment systems in northeastern India, where climate change has made monsoon rains less reliable; a hydropower plant in the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific to eliminate diesel generators; and restoration and protection of Ugandan wetlands that are used by subsistence farmers.

stupid comment. Our air is cleaner than its been in decades. And man has nothing to do with the global warming myth, other than creating another myth. But, if you want the world to be colder, just nuke it. We'll have a nuclear winter. That work for you?

Innacurate myths that opponents of climate action use to make their case

"The No. 2 diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing resigned Monday, telling staff his conscience would not permit him to formally notify the Chinese that the United States is withdrawing from the Paris climate accord.

David H. Rank, a career Foreign Service officer of 27 years, had been acting ambassador until former Iowa governor Terry Branstad (R) was confirmed as the new ambassador last month. Rank held a town meeting with embassy employees to explain he had offered his resignation and it had been accepted.

As the head of the embassy until Branstad arrives, it was Rank’s responsibility to deliver a formal notification of the U.S. intention to withdraw from the climate pact.

According to a State Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to be more candid, Rank was unwilling to deliver the demarche.

He told his staff that as “a parent, a patriot and a Christian,” he could not in good conscience play a role in implementing President Trump’s decision to withdraw, according to a colleague familiar with Rank’s comments."

Which brings to mind the lack of personnel to serve our country.

IT IS NOT DEMOCRATS BLOCKING OR SLOWING NOMINEES, NO MATTER WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS...THEY ARE EINS BEHIND IN NOMINATING PEOPLE.

Our state department is a shell right now, and are ill equipped to handle any emergencies

Why?

"We believe that the human cost of climate change is too great to ignore."

One sided? Balanced? I don't think so.

If you go WAY back...past the last the 1,000 years they use...the earths temperature has been higher...it's also been MUCH colder.

Do you think that the ice ages have stopped and we'll never get another? If you do...then you are ignorant to the natural cycles the earth goes through. If you don't...if you think someday the ice age will be back...as it's been doing FOREVER...then what are you worried about? You're aware that the earth goes through temperature cycles and this too will pass.

CO2 has very little to do with global temperature. The CO2 scare is a scam. They found something to blame the current natural warming on. So they can MAKE MONEY off it.

"Out of the entire atmospheric makeup, only one to two percent is made up of greenhouse gases with the majority being nitrogen (about 78 percent) and oxygen (about 21 percent). Of that two percent, “planet-killing” carbon dioxide comprises only 3.62 percent while water vapor encompasses 95 percent."

Which means...greenhouse gasses makes up only 1-2% of the atmosphere AND CO2 only makes up 4% of that small 1-2% of greenhouse gasses. CO2 makes up 0.04% of the total atmosphere...it's nothing...and it does nothing. WATER VAPOR is what determines heat retention. We pump a LOT of water vapor into the air but evaporation is the biggest contributor.

"The Earth's atmosphere is 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent other gases, including about 0.04 percent carbon dioxide."

Man isn't helping... There's a lot more crap being pumped into the air a LOT worse than CO2. And it ain't by us. SE Asia is the biggest contributor to air pollution. China...India...are both causing a LOT of pollution.

No one has proved that man has caused the climate change. As a matter of fact, if liberals did not have something to complain about or some form of protest, they would cease to exist. Climate change is a money maker for scammers, scientists that majored in the wrong subject in college and now need some form of vindication to justify their bad decisions. Like LIberals and their attempt to disparage the president because of their bad choices.
