Paris Climate Agreement Exposed As Total Sham: Trump Proven Right

Flashback to the literal implosion of leftists and radical environmentalists following President Donald Trump's 2017 announcement he was to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement on climate change Obama signed the nation into.

“Are you allowed by copyright to do that?”

Yes.

Unless NN asks not to. You are correct it is their copyright and they have the right to ask a web site not to post their material, even for non-profit educational purposes.

Longer excerpt is ok as well unless the source specifically asks for no excerpt at all.

Theoretically excerpting is always fair under fair use, but a source can ask for no excerpt or anything at all.

A web site such as this could probably sue for use of fair use excerpts but it wouldn’t be worth it.

“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.”

Christiana Figueres, U.N. Climate Change Chairperson

In trying to search for that quote I used “climate change economy opportunity”. All of the recent articles have quotes on how the climate change crap will bring $XX trillions of dollars into the economy and is a huge opportunity.

Fixing a problem, epecially a non-existent one does not “bring in dollars”. It spends them.

I was working on a job where they were demolishing a 9 year old skyscraper due to the builder not coating the ends of the rebar with epoxy. (A task that maybe would take one guy 4 hours a day to do?) The rebar was rusting. They had spent millions trying to fix the problem. Then had to tear the whole thing down.

I was taking a break and some low-level construction worker was watching the demolition (trackhoes, etc.)

I said, “What a shame - taking down a brand new building. What a waste.”

“Whadya’ mean? This is giving us jobs. And then I’ll be working on putting up the new building and that will take a lot longer!”

in simple terms (keep in mind it’s a gloBULL warming advocacy group’s report and it’s all nonsense) singling out India as the only good guy is hilarious given it’s massive reliance on coal:

14 Nov: KTNV/ABC: CNN: None of the countries in the G20 are on course to reduce climate change, report says
None of the countries that make up the G20 group of major world economies is on course to adequately reduce climate change, with 82% of the bloc’s energy supply still coming from fossil fuels, a new report has warned.
Of the countries, only India has set targets that would keep global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius, the upper limit recommended by the Paris Climate Agreement, if adopted globally.
Overall, the world is heading for a 3.2-degree rise, the organization Climate Transparency said, in an analysis of the G20’s current emissions-cutting targets for 2030 published Wednesday.
Targets set by the worst offenders — Russia, Saudi Arabia and Turkey — would lead to a rise of more than 4 degrees if they were adopted worldwide, the report added...

“The G20 economies actually need to cut their emissions by half by 2030 to keep warming below 1.5°C,” said Jan Burck, senior adviser at equality NGO Germanwatch, one of the report’s authors. Germanwatch is one of 14 partners that make up Climate Transparency...

Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea and the United States lack ambitious renewable energy targets and policies,” said Niklas Höhne co-founder of the NewClimate Institute, who co-authored the report...
This year’s G20 summit will take place in Argentina from November 30.

As it is, next month in Poland, they will be adopting the rules on implementing the Paris agreement.

They have these conferences every year beginning in 1995 when the UN Treaty on Global Warming went into effect.

The first Conference of Parties was in 1995. The 21st Conference of Parties was in Paris in 2015.
