Trump is pulling U.S. out of Paris climate deal

[FSP-Rebel]

President Trump has made his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the decision. Details on how the withdrawal will be executed are being worked out by a small team including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. They're deciding on whether to initiate a full, formal withdrawal — which could take 3 years — or exit the underlying United Nations climate change treaty, which would be faster but more extreme.

Why this matters: Pulling out of Paris is the biggest thing Trump could do to unravel Obama's climate legacy. It sends a combative signal to the rest of the world that America doesn't prioritize climate change and threatens to unravel the ambition of the entire deal.

squishy language, pay attention to the details. Donny wants to have his cake and eat it too.

Process can take four years. Plenty of time to change positions again.

His supporters argue the accord restricts America's ability to do what it wants with its energy resources - an important sector of the economy.
However, under the accord, countries set emission limits themselves - not an outside panel.

The agreement stipulates a three-year waiting period before a country can give notice of leaving, which adds another 12 months and brings us to June 2021.

It could be that President Trump will be out of office before the US would be out of the deal.

Could be done much quicker.

Good, but it's largely PR; the US is bound by treaties in the same way the federal government allows you to sue it.

If congress didn't authorize the deal, it will be easy to get out of it.

Not according to the shills.

Figured, the triggering has begun. You guys overplayed your hand as to whether you wanted the US in this thing. Trump killed TPP and is doing the same on this Paris $#@!. Find globalist solace in your fake news. Rand and Trump are on the same page here.

$#@!ers have no idea what moderation is.

Trump killed TPP

The TPP was already dead in Congress, and was similarly non-binding.

There is no foreign state/international organization capable of binding the US to anything.

The fear of losing sovereignty to some trade board is absurd on its face.

Wrong, under a Hillary regime this TPP would be played out on globalist steroids and the uniparty establishment would be fully aroused. Trump is getting back to his base as evidenced by the latest trends. You don't have to agree w/ every detail like we did w/ Ron to give credit when it's due to a non100%er. Let us just sit back and hope to hell that Trump doesn't do anything good towards liberty so one can maintain their morally superior preconceptions about the man.

[William Tell]

Good.

Wrong, under a Hillary regime...

Let me stop you right there, because you're missing my point. If the US government wants to impose carbon taxes on the US, it can - obviously. What I'm saying is that there is no foreign state/international organization capable of imposing carbon tax on the US against the opposition of the US government. Whether there's a treaty or not is irrelevant. Everything depends on who is in power in Washington DC; nothing depends on what (unenforceable) treaties are signed. Hence, the killing of this treaty (not even really a treaty) is in itself quite meaningless.

You don't have to agree w/ every detail like we did w/ Ron to give credit when it's due to a non100%er.

I did give credit where credit is do.

He gets credit for a good PR move, but nothing more, because that's all this is.

He does not get credit for "saving the US from teh globalists" or whatever you've imagined this to be.

'Paris Agreement' : "Acknowledging that climate change is a common concern of humankind, Parties should, when taking action to address climate change, respect, promote and consider their respective obligations on human rights, the right to health, the rights of indigenous peoples, local communities, migrants, children, persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable situations and the right to development, as well as gender equality, empowerment of women and intergenerational equity."

Like a treaty that hasn't been ratified by congress.

Good, stick the free market where you aren't putting a gun to other people's heads.

Funny because the founder of The Weather Channel is a huge climate skeptic..

Good, I had heard he was mulling this over and I am glad he sided on the side that gets America out of these ridiculous things. The globalists are looking to make America go broke.

Yeah, I've seen him talk about. I'm not sure what's up, maybe he's not connected with the weather channel anymore?

[devil21]

Teh Donald said it so it's gotta be true. Pay no mind to the clapping bankers in the front row.

Retired. He was the founder, he was also a weatherman on San Diego's local tv station.. which was kinda funny because in San Diego it is 70 degrees and sunny like 300+ days a year, so not a lot of interesting things going on in the weather - but - he was famous on Friday's for yelling "IT'S FRIDAY!!!" and the whole thing would echo and they would make a big scene about it. I remember that from when I was a kid.

lol.. getting out of the Paris Climate agreement is a deep state move??

Come on, man..

The Great Oyarde says there will be no climate deal ever that benefits the taxpaying citizens of the US . None , never .

No he's not a part of the Weather Channel. The Climate Change people took it over and are using it to shill for Climate Change.

We arent meeting the benchmarks for carbon emissions regardless of the deal being in effect. If i had to guess, its quite likely ALL energy companies know exactly what is going on with the climate as it is their incentive to know if the earth is warming due to human factors. These companies all have some internal research aside from what NASA puts out, but they sure as hell arent going to alarm the public about it.

However I laugh at those who say climate change is a hoax (all the while believing a man 2,000 years ago was crucified and then rose from the dead). There are no absolutes, especially in science... but if I had a question theoretical physics, I would surely trust Stephen Hawking to come up with an answer that is more than likely to be true over Donald Trump or Steve Bannon, laymen in these fields.
