coorslite21 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 The objection to this Paris Agreement is once again the way the agreement is arranged. The US produces about 17% of the co2 in the world. The US has reduced that foot print at a steep cost. Solar and Wind are not as cost effective as coal for example. China doesn't even have to start reducing emissions until 2030, yet they are the largest contributor to the problem. Does this seem fair? Again, just like the NATO $$$$$$ situation........perhaps it is time someone stands up for America and does what's best for America. The US can't solve the Worlds problems if the World isn't willing to participate as well.. Leaving this Agreement could save the US $3 trillion USD. Lets leave and then rewrite it so it is fair and equitable to all involved IMO........as usual.... 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polling has routinely showed that 98% of this country know that's BS. And your support of the Paris agreement,if that is what you are saying, shows that you have no clue what that agreement actually is.

bostonangler Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) Yes we should follow the leaders to the future. We don't need to lead. We all know that renewable energy is a waste and burning fossil fuel is a better way to go... Hey here's an idea, why don't we just start killing whales again for their blubber... That'll keep the lights on. Just don't chase them off the edge of the earth. B/A Edited June 1, 2017 by bostonangler 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Hayduke Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I agree with Erick Erickson, we are called to be husbandmen/caretakers of the planet not worship 'mother earth'. The Paris agreement is a compendium of spiritualism (Pantheism) and the NWO ideology that includes the ultimate goal of throwing a legal snare over individual rights. Fascism comes in many forms and the Paris agreement (as it stands) is one of them. As for saving the whales... if there was just one left in the ocean and my family was starving to death, we'd eat it and not give it a second thought. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Hayduke Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I understand what you're saying Shabs, but I hope that by saying 'we' you are referring to the world population and not just the US. China, India, Pakistan, Brazil and Russia are the largest polluters and add them to the number of developing third world nations lack of controls and regulation and you will truly see the 'smoking' gun. Most Americans want clean air and water and don't mind reasonable regulation but what really pisses the conservative/libertarian off is the blind allegiance of the left to bow down to 'fake' science that is used to incubate a political ideology. That ideology ends up promulgating ridiculous laws that infringe on personal liberty and property rights. Quite Un-American, don't you think? Let the Chinese and the rest of the worlds gross polluters anti-up, clean their own house and then 'we Americans' would be more open to a 'type' of Paris Agreement. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabibilicious Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I certainly do mean all of humanity when I say "we", George. But I also believe wholeheartedly in American Exceptionalism......set the standard. Now we have to agree as Americans on what that standard is....money based, or humanity based. Where's the common ground? As always, just my opinion. GO RV, then BV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigergorzow Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Trump says US will abandon global climate accord Associated Press By JILL COLVIN and JULIE PACE, Associated Press12 mins ago © REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque U.S. President Donald Trump announces his decision that the United States will withdraw from the landmark Paris Climate Agreement, in the Rose Garden of the White House in… WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Thursday he was withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, striking a major blow to worldwide efforts to combat climate change and distancing the country from many allies abroad. He said the U.S. would try to negotiate re-entry on better terms. "As of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the nonbinding Paris accord," Trump said during a White House Rose Garden announcement. Suggesting renegotiating re-entry was not a major priority, he said, "If we can, great. If we can't, that's fine." By abandoning the world's chief effort to slow the tide of planetary warming, Trump was fulfilling a top campaign pledge. But he was also breaking from many of America's staunches allies, who have expressed alarm about the decision. Under former President Barack Obama, the U.S. had agreed to reduce emissions to 26 percent to 28 percent of 2005 levels by 2025 — about 1.6 billion tons. But Trump said the agreement disadvantaged the U.S. "to the exclusive benefit of other countries," leaving American businesses and taxpayers to absorb the cost. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-says-us-will-abandon-global-climate-accord/ar-BBBLeti?li=BBnb7Kz 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
