While President Donald Trump is keeping everyone in suspense, a White House official said Wednesday morning that Trump will formally withdraw the United States from the Paris climate change agreement.

Why is Trump pulling out?
Trump has repeatedly dismissed human-caused climate change as a “bulls---” “hoax” invented by the Chinese to undercut U.S. manufacturing, and those who urged him to exit virtually all believe that scientists’ warnings of more extreme weather and rising seas are overblown. Trump also has said that U.S. coal, oil and manufacturing companies are disadvantaged by efforts to reduce carbon emissions. While the question of what to do about Paris deeply divided the Trump administration, the president appears to have sided with nationalists who portrayed the agreement as antithetical to his “America First” agenda. “It was an America second, third, or fourth kind of approach. China and India had no obligations under the agreement until 2030. We front-loaded all of our costs,” Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt has said of the deal.

However, Trump always likes the build up of suspense before the official announcement. One of many reasons are he likes to control the Media for awhile like he's doing here. :-) I only excerpted the good and salient points here from Polutico as they usually write tripe LoL.
Would be nice to see a list of the differences in obligations between each country.
I doubt it’s uniform.
Our getting out doesn’t take the rest of the world out with us...MAGA!
We were on the hook to fund it. $100 billion each year from rich countries (aka the United States) to poor countries.
That's why everyone is crying.
COVFEFE!

Obama’s redistribution of wealth to the world is over , done kaput
VIVA COVFEFE!
Note that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend in the name of environmental / climate issues. This is evidenced by the following clarifications of the fed’s constitutionally limited powers by previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So the corrupt House of Representatives wrongly appropriates unconstitutional, unaccountable taxes for environmental / climate issues. And the likewise corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate helps the House do its dirty work.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
In fact, if Justice Gorsuch turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
Forget about Paris.
If this was something Omama did , then forget it ...totally!
WE do NOT need to be giving any more money to anybody else.
Climate decision is Total NONSENSE!
Tell these poor countries to go FISH! The GRAVY TRAIN is DONE!
Should be fun... timing his decision to Comey’s testimony... lib heads will explode trying to figure which to report.
A non-treaty treaty is Constitutional.
Our Constitution in article VI says that
” . . . all treaties made, or shall be made, under authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary not-withstanding.”
The trickery of the “Treaty on Treaties” is revealed. It bypasses the authority of the Senate and the 2/3 vote requirement.
“That’s why everyone is crying.”
I guess they’ll just have to “rough it”.
