Forget About Paris: The Left’s Frantic Meltdown Over Leaving a Bad Deal
IWB ^ | Robert Carbery

Posted on 06/06/2017 11:12:53 AM PDT by davikkm

The moral outrage from the Left over President Trump’s decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement has been strong and swift from political activists masquerading as reasoned scientists. They know all they need to know already.

Vox’s headline from Jim Tankersley, who also writes for the flaming Leftist publication The Washington Post, read: “Quitting the Paris climate agreement is a moral disgrace.” His article went on to defend the contents of the agreement without referencing anything about how unfair the deal is for our country, touting only the possible benefits if we reduce emissions drastically in the coming years.

The agreement, if followed by the U.S., would force us to reduce our carbon footprint by 20% while China would not have to do anything for the next 20 years. This deal is simply unfair, according to Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. The libertarian Republican insisted that the deal would “fail overwhelmingly” if put to a vote in the Senate, which is why Obama did not come anywhere close to proposing this climate deal as a treaty. You won’t hear about that fact from your major media types though because global warming / climate change consistently ranks dead last on the important issues Americans care about – so politicians will act accordingly.

“Quitting the Paris climate agreement is a moral disgrace.”

Wow. I thought we weren't supposed be legislating morality. Good thing Trump got out of it then.

We don't want to be legislating no climate change, now do we?

If we don't submit to creating a fat lifestyle for our global bureaucracy, we will certainly have "Science Consequences."

Make a new line item on the 1040 so that liberals can contribute and feel good about saving the erf.....non tax deductible of course.

I hate it when a perfectly good PBS nature show gets all religious, usually at the end, sometimes interspersed throughout - they mention their belief in climate change and evolution - after showing beautiful images of God’s creation.

My wife and I have learned to detect it. There's usually a point in the program where it transitions from talking about some natural wonder, to the threats to that wonder, and then quickly to the "and this is why it's all your fault" moment.
