Full Title : Donald Trump looking for fast way to QUIT climate agreement: President-elect who said global warming is a 'hoax' wants to 'leave Paris deal as soon as possible' Subtitle : Since Trump was elected, governments ranging from China to small island states have reaffirmed support for the 2015 Paris Agreement Trump has called global warming a hoax and has promised to quit the Paris Agreement He was considering ways to bypass a theoretical four-year procedure for leaving the accord, according to the source 'It was reckless for the Paris agreement to enter into force before the election' on Tuesday, the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The Paris Agreement won enough backing for entry into force on November 4. Alternatives were to send a letter withdrawing from a 1992 Convention that is the parent treaty of the Paris Agreement, voiding U.S. involvement in both in a year's time, or to issue a presidential order simply deleting the U.S. signature from the Paris accord, he said. Many nations have expressed hopes the United States will stay. Host Morocco said the agreement that seeks to phase out greenhouse gases in the second half of the century was strong enough to survive a pullout. 'If one party decides to withdraw that it doesn't call the agreement into question,' Foreign Minister Salaheddine Mezouar told a news conference. The agreement was reached by almost 200 nations in December and, as of Saturday, has been formally ratified by 109 representing 76 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions, including the United States with 18 per cent.

'The Paris Agreement carries an enormous amount of weight and credibility,' she told a news conference.
She said the United Nations hoped for a strong and constructive relationship with Trump.
The Trump source blamed U.S. President Barack Obama for joining up by an executive order, without getting approval from the Senate.
'There wouldn't be this diplomatic fallout on the broader international agenda if Obama hadn't rushed the adoption,' he said.
Drop it like a hot, radioactive potato!
Global warming is a hoax. Back in the 1970’s it was Global Cooling that was the big threat. The only difference between the Global Cooling and Global Warming alarmists is that the Warmists figured out how to make billions, and the coolists never figured that out.
I hope Trump really does cut off all the money that goes to the UN for Global Warming projects and research. Getting out of the Paris Accord would be excellent as well.
I love the scare quotes around the word hoax.
It IS a ‘hoax’.
Just put the agreement up for a vote in the Senate and kick RINO butt to get it voted down
I love the sound of crying leftists on a Sunday Afternoon. I sounds like victory.
OK, let me get it figured out for this week - the Global Warming is gonna cause Global Freezing?
Soooooooooooo, if we cooled down the planet, wouldn’t the Global Cooling cause Global Heating?
Hot, Cold, Rainy, Dry, Snow, Ice, Arid - EVERYTHING “proves” their preposterous ideas. Just like any light in the sky is obviously - A UFO!!!!!
Translation:
We’re gonna get screwed out of potentially 10s of billions of US bucks!!!!!
Right!!
One thing about this that spooks me is that liberals will even lie about things that are true.
But in any event, innovation and improvements in efficiency caused us to meet the goals of the Kyoto Protocol without any of its regulations ever being implemented. There is nothing wrong with improving efficiency regardless of any so-called ‘global warming.’
In the same way that WikiLeaks revealed the fraud that is the Democratic Party, the surreptitious release of all the emails from the Climatic Research Unit in November 2009 revealed the total fraud that they were. They would like us all to forget that ‘small incidence’ as if it never happened.... but unfortunately, some of us have slightly longer memories.
That’s the price you pay when you take international agreements that should receive the advice and consent of the Senate as a treaty and just give it a presidential signature - the next president can just erase it.
Simple question for the “Climate Change” Apostles: What temperature is the Earth supposed to be i.e. what is the target Earth temperature we are seeking?
The United States of America never joined the Paris Agreement. Such action could only happen by a treaty ratified by the Senate. Obama’s signature without the Senate ratification means nothing. No ratification, no treaty, nothing binding on the United States. All President Trump (I just loved to write that) need do is send them a letter explaining this.
...has been formally ratified by 109 representing 76 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions, including the United States with 18 per cent.
I think a reasonable (but idealized) answer is “whatever temperature seems to more or less fit historical norms (excluding the catastrophic events like a Krakatoa for example until things settled back down again). The problem is that all numbers are subject to very high levels of uncertainty.....so even tabulating values of where you came from or where you are right now is virtually impossible, let alone where one thinks they’d like to go.
It’s a non-binding agreement, so...yeah.
