Senate Democrats urge Trump to remain part of Paris Climate Agreement
CBS News ^ | May 24, 2017 | Blair Guild

Senate Democrats encouraged President Trump to remain a part of the Paris Climate Agreement during a press conference on Wednesday. 

The White House says the president has not made up their mind about staying in the agreement, but Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, said that the Trump administration is "leaning towards withdrawing the United States" from the pact. 

In anticipation of the Group of Seven (G7) conference in Sicily this week, which will be President Trump's first appearance at an international summit, 40 Senate Democrats signed and sent a letter to the president urging him not back out of the international climate change agreement.

The agreement was signed last year during Barack Obama's presidency at the COP21 conference in Paris, where nations committed to slowing the effects of climate change through cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions.

Earlier in May, Mr. Trump delayed a meeting on the Paris Climate Agreement, citing "scheduling conflicts" for the postponement. The White House has said the president will announce the United States' position on the agreement after the G7 conference.

Whatever Senate Dems urge Trump to do, he should do the exact opposite.

It’s almost as if Trump listened, they’d play nice after this.

Nope!

get out of Paris, put an end to the lawsuits, stop the push for world government and the theft of $100 trillion, in the name of so-called “climate change”(MANMADE GLOBAL WARMING). go check the cost of this scam for yourself. the scammers don’t hide it -

23 May: Reuters: Climate change court cases on the rise globally, majority in U.S.
The cases range from efforts to push governments for more aggressive national policies to reduce or prevent greenhouse gas emissions to lawsuits over the expansion of airports and coal mines, or concerning the development of renewable energy generation facilities.
Some 884 climate change cases had been filed by March in 24 countries in Africa, Asia, Pacific, Europe and the Americas. The United States had the highest number of cases - 654 - according to the survey carried out by U.N. Environment and the Columbia Law School’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.....

no-one can predict the climate a hundred years from now; no politicians can reduce the global temperature, not even by destroying industry. in fact, destroying industry might even lead to more of the co2 emissions they claim to dread.

Climate change is 100% globalist-socialist LIE, meant to destroy America and move the world towards totalitarianism.

It is a deadly insult to real science.

It is a false, Satanic religion.

They spend 24/7 bashing and disrespecting POTUS, then write him a letter wanting him to do what they ask for.

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
