You've heard it all by now. Trump has just signed the earth's death warrant. In withdrawing from the Paris Accord he's worse than Hitler. The attacks go on and on and on. But then, these folks have been trashing Trump even before he got elected with the same over the top idiocy.
House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi went so far as to say Trump is "dishonoring" God and kept the hysteria train moving right along by suggesting “how is he ever going to explain to his grandchildren what he did to the air they breathe — assuming they breathe air?”
Perhaps Pelosi should spend more time reading government reports on air quality and less time raving about topics she clearly is uninformed about. From the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency this report on pollution:
Since the Bush years, yes BUSH, a dramatic decline in air pollution in the United States! |
Paris Accord another empty symbolic feel good moment for the world socialist movement! |
Paris Accord, if FULLY IMPLEMENTED, won't alter climate!
In 2015 Even Obama's Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency admitted that the clean power initiative which was part of the Administration's adherence to the Paris Accords was just for show, despite the cost:
0.01C degree gain all to "show strong domestic action." In other words, it's all for show. But watch out for the price of that ticket if you are poor!
And it's not just the U.S. that's making a hugely expensive show. A peer-reviewed paper by Dr. Bjorn Lomborg published in the Global Policy journal analyzes the promises and the performance of the Paris Accord where it counts, temperature change:
No limitations on China and India
To actually achieve what the Paris Accord signers declare as their intent to control or lower temperature here's what the world would need to do (chart right).
But since targets for CO2 reduction are voluntary for all signers and there is no enforcement mechanism and since developing countries like India and China continue to enjoy a long period of complete exemption the idea that somehow we could meet these CO2 targets if we all "show strong domestic action" like Obama's EPA Administrator is laughable.
Western governments which have already cut CO2 emissions might continue to cut them but China and India are building coal fired power plants as fast as they can. Any gains the West makes literally go up in smoke.
Huge Cost to Poorest Americans
Rep. Nancy Pelosi also made it clear she sees the Paris Accord as a civil rights issue as if CO2 discriminated on the basis of skin color. As usual, she got it directly backwards when she claimed that "lower income minority families are disproportionately vulnerable to the ravages of the climate crisis." Rising electricity and energy rates hurt the poor most directly as this study from the Heritage Foundation shows:
But most Americans don't need a think tank study to tell them what they already understand to be common sense. If energy is more expensive the poor and the Middle Class will feel the pinch most acutely. All the Democrat's billionaires who are whining about Trump but who profited from green cronyism like Elon Musk who is worth over $14 billion but still gets nearly $5 billion in government subsidies don't get it but that's the point. Follow the money!
- An overall annual average shortfall of nearly 400,000 jobs;
- An average annual manufacturing shortfall of over 200,000 jobs;
- A total income loss of more than $20,000 for a family of four;
- An aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) loss of over $2.5 trillion; and
- Increases in household electricity expenditures of between 13 percent and 20 percent.4

Trillions NOT spent on real human needs!
All the climate hysteria over the past thirty years has been debunked by much more talented people than myself. But you don't need a PhD in environmental science to grasp the common sense point that spending trillions on a largely manufactured crisis that benefits the uber rich at the expense of everyone else also takes away resources from real human problems like safe drinking water, addressing hunger, disease and literacy. Or doesn't the left care about that anymore?
After 30 years ALL the computer models predicting doom and gloom have been proven FALSE as compared to actual temperature results from advanced tech sensors that were intended to prove the theory! |
There is no reason to panic. REAL SCIENCE shows the theory to be false. But the hysterics still scream. We should just laugh at them!
