The day the US stepped down from leadership

[IM2]

None of the countries that signed the accord are "required" to do anything, IM2...they've signed on to do things voluntarily! The thing that makes it an awful deal is that Obama signed us up to cut our emissions first and by a large amount before countries like China and India have to cut theirs. There is nothing in that accord that guarantees us that after crippling our economy by making our businesses buy more expensive energy that our competition will comply with the accord years down the line. Once again...who would sign such a bad deal?

Leadership starts with the word lead. You lead by example. Lead means you go first. Follow is when you go after someone else has done it. Seems that a whole bunch of CEOs do not see things as you guys do. Including Tillerson and the new head of Exxon. Too bad.

For all the Elitist / Global Warming / Barak Obama / Al Gore Nut-Huggers out there freaking out about pulling out of the Paris Accord:


10 years later:

Mount Kilimanjaro Still Has Snow
One of the first glaring claims Gore makes is about Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. He claims Africa’s tallest peak will be snow-free “within the decade.”


Gore Left Out The 15-Year “Hiatus” In Warming
Gore also claims temperature rise from increases in man-made carbon dioxide emissions were “uninterrupted and intensifying.” He goes on to claim heatwaves will become more common, like the one that killed 35,000 people across Europe in 2003.

Sounds terrifying — until you actually look at what happened to global temperature after Gore’s film was released. Global temperatures showed little to no warming trend after Gore released his film. In fact, surface temperature data showed no significant global warming for a period of about 15 years, starting in the early 2000s.

Satellite-derived temperature data showed, until the recent El Niño, no statistically significant warming trend for more than 21 years.


The Weather Hasn’t Gotten Worse
Gore also famously predicted storms would become more frequent and intense as man-made emissions warmed the oceans.

“And of course when the oceans get warmer, that causes stronger storms,” Gore said in his film. “That same year that we had that string of big hurricanes, we also set an all-time record for tornadoes.”

But Gore’s claim is more hype than actual science, since storms aren’t more extreme since 2006. In fact, not even findings from the United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) support Gore’s claim.

The IPCC found in 2013 there “is limited evidence of changes in extremes associated with other climate variables since the mid-20th century.” The IPCC also found “no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century” and “no robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin.”


The North Pole Still Has Ice
Gore also claimed the Arctic could be ice-free in the coming decades. He said “within the next 50 to 70 years, it could be completely gone.”

With no Arctic sea ice, polar bears and all sorts of Arctic animals would be threatened, Gore warned, showing an animated scene of a polar bear drowning.

DIDN'T HAPPEN. It's 2017, and the Polar Ice is still there, Polar Bears have not drowned. The latest data shows polar bears are actually thriving, despite shrinking ice coverage.



A “Day After Tomorrow”-Style Ice Age Is Still A Day Away
Remember the 2004 blockbuster film “The Day After Tomorrow”? In the movie, the Gulf Stream, which scientists say is essential for regulating the climate, shuts down and ends up causing another ice age. Well, Gore hints this could happen if Greenland’s ice sheet melts and brings more cold water into the North Atlantic.

Australian scientists, however, totally debunked claims the Gulf Stream, or AMOC, was weakening. “Claims of strengthening or reducing of the AMOC are therefore pure speculation,” Aussie scientists wrote in their paper published in March.


An Inconvenient Review: After 10 Years Al Gore’s Film Is Still Alarmingly Inaccurate



Al Gore left his energy-sucking mansion to travel half way around the world on his carbon-belching private jet then took his gas-guzzling private Limo to engage in 'Fear-Mongering', predicting gloom and doom - cataclysmic apocalypse - that would happen BY 2013 if the world did not embrace the Global Warming SCAM and his money-making 'Carbon Credit' 'Ponzi-esque scheme'.

Globalist Barak Obama climbed on-board the Climate Change SCAM WAGON, using US tax Payer dollars to fund Solyndra and 12 other Green Corporation HIS big dollar investors had sunk money into. When they went belly up, Obama used tax dollars to ensure his donors did not lose their investment money while Americans lost the money instead.

I posted a link and article about how a HUGE Democratic Party Donor and Obama supporter - who has sunk a lot of money onto ;Green Energy' as a result of Obama signing the Paris accord - lost his damn mind when Trump announced we were pulling out of the accord, declaring it 'ACT OF WAR'?!





This DNC / Obama donor's reaction should be enough of an example to prove Global Warming has been little more than a scam for the elitist Liberal wealthy to make even more money.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Macron is pissed because we have a real president now who isn't trying to undermine our country like the last one was doing. No more transfer of wealth from us to them, while China and India (worst polluters in the world) get a free pass. Go Trump!

Dumb ass. China and India agreed to the accords.

Of course they agreed! They don't have to cut their pollution levels for years while we have to cut ours now! Which means their industries get to use cheap energy while ours have to pay more for alternative energy sources. If you REALLY are concerned about climate change...then why would you think that was a good thing? Obama used his pen to sign something that was an AWFUL deal for the US. Trump just used his to say we're not playing that game anymore.

I'm tired of arguing with you misinformed trump cult members.

Paris climate agreement: What you need to know

We have to put up with your liberals misinformation and outright lies. Suck it up, buttercup!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Finally, a president with some common sense.

I don't exactly call that common sense. You aren't educated so you wouldn't understand how this can backfire.

Pittsburgh before Paris




Yup the Republicans hold the house and Senate in.2018

Well we are going to see about 2018. But as for Pittsburgh, their mayor said they will keep working to support the Paris Climate Accords.

He is more than welcome to do that, but he can't force my city to do it!

When the jobs dry up and move away, he will face the voters!

 

[BlindBoo]

It's a political move. It will have very little impact on the climate.

Yawn.

Dumb ass. China and India agreed to the accords.

Only becsuse the sgreement provides that they can increase emissions into the next century before they have to start a program of reduction. Meanwhile, we pay them.

 

[rightwinger]

That day was January 20, 2009. Luckily, we have a real President now.

Obama's leadership was acknowledged around the world

He was looked at as a stable leader who was not given to impulsive decisions.

As a result, Obama was able to negotiate greater involvement of NATO forces in the fight on terrorism, strict economic sanctions on Russia, a nuclear disarmament agreement with Iran, Paris Climate Accords, far reaching trade agreements

Trump is looked at as an impulsive child who is distracted by shiny objects. Give him a medal and tell him how great he is and he will do what you want. He has a limited attention span and the vocabulary of a third grader. But in terms of looking at Trump for leadership? The rest of the world is laughing at us. By electing Trump, we have demonstrated to the world what an easily misled nation we are.

Indeed, Obama was a great president for them... not for America.

He ate their bullshit in spades. Now they are in complete panic mode as we have a president who is not willing to sell his country for cheap virtue points.

Obama understood that the US is a member of the global community and operates in a global economy

As a result, he was able to get world leaders to cooperate on military actions in the war on terror, Iranian nuclear disarmament and Russian sanctions

Cooperating with a Trump government is a non-starter around the world. The people will not stand for it. So, Trump's wall is more than a way to keep out the Mexicans.......Trump has built a wall between the US and the rest of the world

The wall is there to keep out drugs and terrorists. Do you have a problem with that? Because if you don't have a viable wall...you're not going to keep out either.

Oh yes....I forgot Trump told us all Mexicans are drug runners and terrorists
I forgot how afraid it made me

But this is a different wall that Trump is building. A wall between us and the rest of the world

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Trump has undermined everything that Americans claim they stand for.

The "Americans" you speak of are not really Americans...they're Globalists / Communists.
Like Bruce Traitor Springsteen

The day the US stepped down from leadership

I remember that day so well - January 20, 2009

it is so refreshing to finally have a leader in place that is turning things around

thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Yet, after that day, the US assumed a greater global leadership role

Remember George Bush's "Coalition of the Willing"???

Imagine the coalition Trump is capable of building. He can't even build a coalition with the Republican Congress

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Trump pulls US from Paris accord (full speech)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djATp3AoUxI

A new leader of the free world has emerged.

Macron SLAMS Trump for WITHDRAWAL of Paris Climate Accord Agreement 6/1/2017 its NOT RENEGOTIABLE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzcrSvF7ZJA

Following the herd isn't leadership.

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Think pulling out of the Paris Accord is a bad deal?

You can STILL support the accord exactly as it would have been done....here's how...
Since all it was was a transfer of wealth...
YOU can send YOUR money to :

Paris Accord Fund
405 East 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10017, USA.

Now that I've given you he means to backup your big mouth...either send your money (no less than $100 EVERY year and preferably 10% of your annual income every year).....

In addition...park the gas hog SUV...and start taking the bus everyday or using a bicycle and do something that REALLY would impact the climate.

.........or shut the fuck up already you moron hypocrites.

 

[The Original Tree]

We already have the most aggressive environmental regulations on the planet. Doing anything more is going to harm our economy more than it already has.

Not even close, on either point.

If you believe in Global Warming, sell your computer, your car, live off the grid, and give all of your money to a bunch of Indians named Jimmy at the Hindu Call Center For Telemarketing and Tech Support in Bangladesh.

Never heard of strength in numbers eh? Why aren't you off fighting ISIS, alone? You want them dead, right?

If you REALLY think Trump is bad....then PROVE it! Show the world how deplorable he is.....JUMP against TRUMP !
Do it for social justice....do it TODAY and get even!

Men who have to pay off after being sued for fraud don't have the be shown to be bad - they are bad.

And kill myself over someone not even worthy of the gold-plated bullet? Not going to happen.

All Gore says The Planet Has A Fever and you are The Virus. So quit breathing and do your part to save us from YOU.
All that nasty CO2 coming out of your lungs when you talk is poisoning the environment.

 

[The Original Tree]

As usual liberals have it upside down and ass backwards. The day the President pulled out of the extortion racket known as the Paris Climate Accord is the day the U.S.finally showed it's leadership in the world.

What we showed is we don't give a fuck,. Russia, China, India, and all our enemies were - listening.

We care about the Environment, we just don't give a Fuck about you, or Globalism, or Wealth Redistribution.

Tell me this dummy.

Exactly how are your Morons going to get a $15 an hour minimum wage with your policies of Open Borders, and shipping our wealth to 3rd world countries, while asking our biggest Economic Rivals to not only have to DO NOTHING at all with this agreement, but also you are asking our Economy to compete against theirs with a 35% Corporate Tax rate plus Trillions of Dollars in absurd Evironmental Regulations that neither China, nor India, nor even THE EU has to abide by (The US has THEE Highest and most costly regulations and highest Corp tax rate In the World) when they are allowed to operate with Zero Restrictions, and Zero Environmental Regulations and a tax rate at more than Half as much as ours at just 15%?

How in the fuck do you think you are going to get $15 an hour out of that situation with your Emotional Policies?

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Don't ask them to think.....it's beyond their capabilities

There nothing emotional with liberals. You conservatives love to assign labels then cry when you get labeled. You are little children mentally.

 

[Brain357]

Commie liberals hate a president who puts America first. Fuck them, they're on the outside looking in.

We used to be leaders and the good guys. Now we are the selfish rich. Sad.

Dumb ass. China and India agreed to the accords.

You fucking moron!
China NEVER agreed to do ANYTHING except have a look at the 'agreement' in 2030.
No one signed a fucking thing!
BONOBO couldn't even risk taking his 'accord' before his OWN Congress and Senate for approval!
He KNEW it would NEVER get passed.
Now fuck off!

 

[dannyboys]

This is a huge mistake folks. I don't give a damn what conservatives think. The fact is that everything conservatives have ever said or proposed has been wrong.

That's enough from you asshole! Permanent Ignore!

 

[Oldstyle]

How does morality come into play? It was an awful deal for the US! Fair play would be that EVERYONE cuts their emissions equally and at the same time! Barry didn't sign us up for a "fair" deal...he signed us up for one that's totally unfair for the US!

Let's see, the US got to burn energy like a fiend (and develop into a quote - modern nation) but now that's a bad idea so let's tell all the rest of the world they aren't allowed to do the same. Sure thing, no problem there.

So China gets to burn energy like a fiend for years and THAT is going to improve climate change? Make up your mind, RightTighty! If this is about climate change then letting some countries burn fossil fuels like "fiends" doesn't fix the problem! If you're really worried about the globe then you should be looking for an agreement that limits emissions for ALL countries...not just the US!
