Hot Air: Shouldn't environmentalists be celebrating the fact that President Trump decided to withdraw from the Paris climate-change agreement? After all, when it was signed, many of them called it a fraud, or worse.
The reaction to Trump's announcement was ferocious.
Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer said Trump is "committing a traitorous act of war against the American people."
John Kerry declared that Trump's decision "will rightly be remembered as one of the most shameful any president has made."
The ACLU said that dropping out of the Paris agreement is "a massive step back for racial justice and an assault on communities of color across the U.S."
These are the more polite responses.
Yet it was only a little more than a year ago that climate scientists and environmentalists were viciously attacking the Paris agreement itself.

Just like Comey.
But it was part of Baraq'a legacy - (that big brown sh*t stain on America's history)!
My immediate thought as well. They really have gone crazy!!
bfl
The $100 billion per year the American taxpayer was to send to third world politicians to develop clean energy would have resulted in a boon for the private jet industry, would have bolstered the pay of thugs and goons everywhere and would have done nothing for the environment. It was always a globalist wealth redistribution scheme. The globalists would have kept the third world controlled with American money. Those goons and thug keep pesky people in line. Any behavior that threatened globalist control would be denounced as an enviormental crime. Trump and his people saw through the ruse and power grag.
Uh-huh......
The communists left are now going to use this as a diversion to attempt to keep the real corruption of the King Obama Administration from being exposed and charged...
None of these virtue signalling leftists put th eir money where their mouths are. The only thing dirt bags like Tom Steyer do is spend money to get Democrats elected. They are free to send all their personal wealth to Africa. That won’t be happening, of course, because what they really want are corporate welfare kick backs from the Democrats they help elect.
Later.
The biggest (and so far only) proven global warming threat is all the totally unregulated and very toxic HOT AIR (TONS of CO2) being spewed into the biosphere by perpetually unhinged outraged liberals. Just since President Trump’s announcement we musta gained a degree or two! I’m sweating right now!!! Shut up Libs and (misnamed) “progressives”... you’ve WAY expanded your carbon footprint of idiocy!
“....it was only a little more than a year ago that climate scientists and environmentalists were viciously attacking the Paris agreement itself.”........
The whiners and nay sayers and nothing but a bunch of hypocrites, every damn one of them.
The cable guy was redoing some Internet connections and we had storms in the area, so I had The Weather Channel on but the volume low.
TWC kept running streamers and graphics about the end of the world, since President Trump had just made his decision on the Paris Accord. If anyone did listen to the fearmongering coming from the commentators/hosts on TWC, they would think we would be under water in the heartland (Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas) by this weekend.
Their ‘OMG, the world is ending’ rants were laughable, but also sad that so many have bought into the climate change hoax.
What the "H" does race have to do with this?? Geeez!
If President Trump announced that the sun will rise in the East, libs (and schumer) would declare it the end of western civilization.
In 2015, China emitted 10.4 billion tons of CO2... the US 5.2... The entire EU 3.5... India 2.4... Russia 1.8. China elite more than US, EU, and India COMBINED (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_dioxide_emissions)
China has 187 of the Top 500 worst air quality cities... and 100 of the Top 222... and the US none in the Top 500. (Poland surprisingly has several.) (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_polluted_cities_by_particulate_matter_concentration)
The Paris Agreement allows China to INCREASE it's CO2 output by 34% until 2030... while the other nations (except India) must reduce theirs... (source: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-china-climatechange-idUSKCN0PA1G420150630) This means that they can add as much additional CO2 output as the entire EU is currently producing, over the next 17 years...
(And of course, that's just their promise to cap it by 2030... Chinese Communist Party promises on Social Issues are not exactly the most reliable promises around...)
Headline of the Day Poll
Was President Trump right to pull the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Agreement?
No. The United States should take the lead against Global Warming.
Yes. Global Warming is a foolish hoax.

China averages about 270ppm, hyper-industrial Japan averages about 70, and the US averages about 40... and WE need to do more for global air quality?!?!?
I never can understand remarks like this. Other than that they've discovered that a lot of people hate to be called Racist, so they use it for everything.
