NPR was comedy central today, all the doom
and gloom about rising oceans now that we've
backed out. So stupid, so ridiculous that people
buy this putrid garbage. A question I heard over
and over, that was never answered, how does
sending $100 billion a year to poor countries
stop GW, even if it's happening. Not a single
person would address it.

It was a dumb move by Donald. Hugely unpopular decision he made today (despite what the fervent righties in this thread want to believe).

I like when Donald does dumb stuff. His poll numbers go down (although, how much lower can they go???) and Donald gets upset and does stupid things.

At this point, I'm rooting for him to have a complete mental breakdown. I like seeing him suffer. Hopefully Comey's testimony next week can push him a little further down that path.... hehe

He didn't deny that climate change is possible.

He took us out of a ridiculous agreement that Obama made. There was nothing in it for us.

Should we combat climate change? Yep. This just was not the way to do it.

I hope all of your wishes come true.

Toodles!

I didn't discuss the merits of what he did in my post at all.... Just that it was a hugely unpopular thing to do. Amongst his tiny base, it will be popular (as seen in this thread).

But this is a guy who didn't even win the popular vote, governing solely to his base is not wise.

Under the agreement the USA would have to pay India and Iran and cut our output by 20%, while China doesn't have to do anything. Russia gets to increase their output by 50%. https://youtu.be/0cZ0NFRgyFI Rand Paul destroy's Tapper and shows him to be the anti-American he is. Big thumbs up to Donald on this one.

India also gets to increase coal by 50%,
while we cut it 80%. It's an insane deal
that has nothing to do with climate
change. The whole thing is STOOPID
anyway, we can control the climate
about as much as we can control the
orbit of the earth. It's a 100% political
issue that people have been sucked into
believing is real. Humans are sooo
gullible. Smartest thing Trump has done
yet, this will even get some Dems over
to his side. Screw what the world thinks,
they just want our money.

Trump thinks we can control the climate, he said so right in his speech. He said if the Accord went according to plan, that the temperature would be 2/10 of a degree lower than what is currently projected. That is 10% of the projected rise.

Naw, he said that to appease his people
who tried to talk him into not doing it.
Nobody in their right mind who hasn't
drank a ton of Kool Aid thinks we can
control the climate. Yeah, we went in
100 short years, from the beginning
of the auto and plane industry, to
being able to control the climate of
the planet. No, we didn't. We can't
even predict the weather accurately,
how hell can we control the climate.

How many years in a row have the
hurricane experts got the season
prediction wrong. 8? 10? They have
no idea what their doing, yet these
same type of people can change
the climate? It's all political garbage
meant to scare us into emptying our
pockets.

http://www.newworldwar.org/weatherwar.htm I don't know about climate, but there are devices to affect weather. Some say that's what the HARRP project in Gakona Alaska was, Including Dr. Nick Begich son of Alaska Congressman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_Modification_Convention The UN bans weather as a weapon, so somebody thinks it can be manipulated.

The "mental breakdown" has happened on the left, or did you not see some of their reactions yesterday? You would think we dropped a couple nukes.

How so many are conned into giving up so much over this climate nonsense is amazing. It is religion for atheists. Anyone with any kind of critical thinking or intellectual curiosity should question GW. The world was supposed to be underwater by now when Bush43 killed Kyoto.

Same movie playing again, same suckers falling for the hype.
The President is a fink.
