Here’s more evidence that Trump did the right thing by pulling out of the UN’s Paris climate agreement.
Had the U.S. stayed in it would have been on the hook for a fair chunk of this eye-watering pay demand from India.

2030 is a key date in the Paris Accord.
Because China and India (the world’s #1 and #2 polluters) don’t have to do ANYTHING until 2030.
Unless it is paid for by America.
This article also goes into a bit of discussion on the:
“In other words, Paris was never really about climate. It was a wealth-redistribution scheme in which rich nations were expected to shower poor nations with free money.”
It is dodged for now.
All it takes is another Democrat President, and we’re back on the hook.
“But wait, HE’S A LEFTIST, and Ivanka and Jared!!!!!!
“ROTF LMAO’
C’mon DoughtyOne, you can do better than that. You should be able to link Ted Cruz in there somewhere.. LOL
Why? It’s so obvious you and others will do that for me.
“:^)
yep , Obama’s redistribution of wealth on steroids
And don’t forget the government spending rule of 10’s.
1) Actual costs will be ten times original estimates.
2) Rule #1 applies to revised estimates too.
I will read this later for details but right now I accept the headline as a given.
I didn’t know what the $ amount was, but I knew there was a YUGE pricetag attach to our continued participation in this hoax ponzi scheme.
This is a ponzi scheme targeting a single sucker: US.
The world is Bernie Madoff and Trump just told them to stick it up their collective butts.
ok, here, just help get you started, and get your creative juices flowing! LOL
"Cruz Presses Trump to Withdraw From Paris Climate Deal"
30 May 2017
http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/ted-cruz-paris-accord-donald-trump-leave/2017/05/30/id/793070/
And Ted Cruz wrote this article for CNN:
"Ted Cruz: Trump should withdraw from Paris climate pact"
By Ted Cruz
May 31, 2017
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/29/opinions/withdraw-paris-accord-opinion-cruz/
The funny thing is, Ted probably tells himself he’s why Trump withdrew.
ROTF LMAO

Well you can say that again. Oh wait, you did.
Actually, I was thinking the same thing, and was wondering if that wasn’t going to be your response.
I wonder if “poor” China would have given us an interest-free loan so that we could pay in that $2.5 billion.
It would cost 2.5 trillion in US dollars. Not cost the US 2.5 trillion dollars. lol
Have you noticed that Ted makes public statements about what good policy would be, when it’s fairly obvious which way Trump is headed on it?
It comes off looking like Ted is trying to steal the impetus, as if Trump would be merely following his head.
It also looks as if Ted is trying to say, “See, if you would have only backed me, we could have done this anyway.”
Not sold on that Ted, but thanks...
The 500 most polluted cities on earth:
187 of the Top 500 are in China (as well as 100 of the Top 222).
98 are in India.
The EU has 36 of the top 500, and they are all in Poland, Czech, Bosnia, and Macedonia.
Not one is in the US. NONE.
87% the rest are in the rest of Asia. (Iran and Saudi Arabia have 3 in the Top 5).
(source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_polluted_cities_by_particulate_matter_concentration)
And now look at this:
2015 carbon dioxide emissions by country:
1. China 10.6 billion tons
2. USA 5.2
3. EU (all) 3.5
4. India 2.5
5. Russia 1.8
(Note: 10.6 > 5.2+3.5+1.8... yes, you read that right... China already spews more than US-EU-Russia combined)
(source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions)
Now check this out:
Under the Paris Agreement, by the year 2030 China "promises" (and we can always trust Communist regimes with Social Issue promises 17 years out) to "peak" (meaning increase until it gets there) its emissions at a level "only" 34% higher than current emissions...
(Source: Reuters 6/30/2015 - http://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-china-climatechange-idUSKCN0PA1G420150630)
well 34% of 10.4 bn tons is 3.5 bn tons... which is equal to the entire output by the entire EU combined today. China already spews as much as the US-EU-and-Russia COMBINED, is the most polluted nation on earth... and gets to ADD another EU on top of that... while paying nothing... and the Western world has to cut back, and finance the developing countries, to the tune of $100 billion from the US alone. All this, and trillions in lost productivity... all so that the planet MIGHT be 0.3 degrees cooler in the year 2100 (the Paris Agreement's stated goal.)
Sorry, no thanks.
Right-’free money’ which they’d find a way to screw up and be no further ahead anyway
Again proving globull warming/climate scam is really a wealth redistribution scheme concocted by the global leftists. Obama loved this because at his very heart he earnestly wanted to reduce American status in the world and this was one of the perfect vehicles to do that.
