The head of the United Nations on Tuesday warned the United States against leaving the Paris climate deal, saying other countries would fill a “void” if President Trump decides to step away from the landmark agreement.

“If one country decides to leave a void, I can guarantee someone else will occupy it,” Secretary-General António Guterres said during an event at New York University on Tuesday.

Guterres warned that international adversaries such as China and Russia could step into a global leadership role if Trump backs off the climate commitments made by former President Obama under the Paris agreement. Guterres noted the growth of clean energy in heavily polluting countries like China and said, "the message is simple: The sustainability train has left the station....

A supra national "government" that gets most of their money from us, has no organic military and sits on our land is demanding we abide by their rules. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

So if you don’t agree to their nonsense, they actually threaten you with actions by Russia and China. You’ve got to be kidding.

In your dreams Guterres. If we pull out, the last thing pragmatists like the Chinese and Russians will do is waste their resources on a globalist wet dream of western effetes.

THis is a childish bluff by a childish UN a--hole.

Oh yes, this organization that has such enlightened nations like Iran and China condemn Israel for alleged human rights abuses and oppression. Give me strength.

If they can find another sucker to give them money, good for them.
We should not be that sucker.

“If one country decides to leave a void, I can guarantee someone else will occupy it,” Secretary-General António Guterres said...

Well, if someone wants to step into the Paris climate-control void left by a US exit, and spend untold trillions, they are welcome to do so!

President Trump announces: “Step up stupid ... we’re vacating a seat at the UN Paris Climate Scam”.

If this isn’t enough to make PRESIDENT Trump pull us out of that Paris scam I don’t know what is. The fags at the UN have no right to be warning anybody about anything. The UN has got to go.

We’re getting to “crunch time” here. Have you sent a follow-up message to Trump?

Dear Mr. President,
As expected, you are under incredible pressure to keep us in the Paris Climate international wealth redistribution SCAM. That you have thus far resisted that pressure is a testament to your courage and willpower.
All those of us who supported you — and STILL DO — need to know about how disastrous is the Paris deal is that virtually ALL the European and other officials you met on your trip URGED YOU TO REMAIN IN THE THING.
The judgement of those who leaned on you to do so — Trudeau, May, Merkel and others — MUST be taken into account: They are the same folks (freeloaders?) who resent that you asked them to pick up THEIR share of NATO costs and who invite murderous muslims into their nations, guaranteeing the destruction of their cultures and more atrocities like Manchester.
You are MUCH smarter than they are. You also possess a quality they — and the previous occupant of your office — appear to lack: YOU LOVE YOUR COUNTRY!
That you do REQUIRES that you take us OUT of the bogus Paris deal.
Regards and welcome back to “The Swamp”.
Dick Bachert
