The 14 Dumbest Reactions to Trump Quitting the Paris Climate Accord [Updated!]

The Paris climate accord is a largely symbolic gesture that even supporters acknowledge lacks enforcement mechanisms and, even if successful, will have a statistically insignificant impact on the climate.

Reuters reports that U.S. carbon emissions will fall over the next decade — regardless of whether America remains in COP21 treaty.

Nevertheless, the news that Trump is officially withdrawing America from the accord has brought on a level of hyperbole that is almost ... anti-science in its sheer disproportionality.

Here are the 14 most unhinged reactions to Trump's decision thus far.

14. Democratic super-donor Tom Steyer — who as an investor in many green-tech companies is anything but a disinterested party — thundered that Trump is "committing a traitorous act of war against the American people."

13. Ben Rhodes, Obama's former deputy national security adviser, experienced a complete meltdown on Twitter in reaction to the news. "Shame on those in Trump WH who know the science is real and Paris is our last best chance. There is no trade off that is worth this cruelty," he tweeted. Cruelty? Really? "A Rose Garden celebration of a step that denies science and hurts children. History will note those who participated in this moral wreck

Typical liberal “feel good approach” to the problem. If it will work or not is irrelevant.

Here are some facts to share:

95% of all CO2 creation comes from volcanoes around the world. Animals accounts and other natural phenomena account for 2%. Human industrialized behavior accounts for 3%.

The US has the cleanest air and water in the world and the toughest EPA regulations. Many of the signers of the Paris Accord have abysmal pollution - see Brazil, Mexico, India, China.

The Paris Accord is merely a money grab to penalize the US for success - income redistribution.

Climate change (remember global warming, before it stopped warming?) has been going on for millions of years and will continue for millions of years. It is a natural phenomenon of a living planet.

Climate is different than weather. An occasional snowstorm on Florida or a hurricane hitting Massachusetts is weather, not climate.

Ben Rhodes is not even Science Graduate. He had degree in English, Creative Writing and Political Science. Basically, degree in bull shitting.

“Global Warming - Climate Change” world biggest hoax and scam.
Just like Obama causing Global Flooding by pissing in the ocean.
That much can humans contribute.
Elaborate scam to screw off taxpayers off their money!
MAGA!!!!

Such reactions indicate that the scam was really a blank check on the American Taxpayers.

The critics must have had financial interests in this and thought that this was such a done deal that they’ve signed contracts on purchases of big ticket items and services that they are now personally going to have to pay for because their free money check has been canceled.

WTF? These people are insane.

When you are a nail, everything looks like a hammer.

I have agreed for years that Liberalism is a mental disease, but nothing prepared me for the depths to which these wackos have gone and the things they have said on this topic. I seriously think that the current screaming should be taken as a prelude to a physical attack on the President.

Mark Ruffalo should turn back into the Incredible Hulk and GAIN intelligence...

Big mistake. Mama didn’t raise a fool, I followed the dire warnings from the scientists and TV news. Life in my underground bunker since the 70’s has been good. I have no idea how y’all are dealing with the ice age, but wish you well. Stay warm friends. When the ice age is finally over and the glaciers have finally melted I look forward to coming up to see everyone.

John Kerry, one of the deal’s leading negotiators, said Trump is not helping the “forgotten Americans” he pledged to elevate, but instead will give their kids asthma (perhaps as soon as this summer!).

By volume, dry air contains 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1% at sea level, and 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.
Atmosphere of Earth - Wikipedia

So .04% carbon dioxide, going up to .0400001%, causes asthma? I never knew that.

Kerry is not only a traitor, he also is an idiot. Who knew??????

Glad I swallowed my polluted drinking water post Trump and Paris before I saw this.:)

Kerry is not only a traitor, he also is an idiot. Who knew??????

And he flicks his tongue like a lizard.

Remember that crazy feminist on her knees screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO when Trump won?

According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the world’s volcanoes, both on land and undersea, generate about 200 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually, while our automotive and industrial activities cause some 24 billion tons of CO2 emissions every year worldwide. Despite the arguments to the contrary, the facts speak for themselves: Greenhouse gas emissions from volcanoes comprise less than one percent of those generated by today’s human endeavors.
