President Trump has pledged to cancel U.S. participation in the United Nations climate agreement signed last year by President Obama in Paris. However, various media sources are reporting that the president has backed off of this campaign commitment due to lobbying from daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, who reportedly support the UN Paris Agreement. Also in the global-warming alarmist camp, apparently, is Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
There are many compelling arguments for President Trump to make good on this signature campaign promise, notwithstanding the dissidents within his family and his cabinet. Cost alone provides sufficient reason to deep-six the agreement, without even going into the incredible liberty-destroying regulatory shackles it proposes for the entire planet. The price tag associated with the global carbon-regulating regime envisioned in the document is nothing short of mind-boggling. How much would it cost? According to Danish environmentalist/statistician Bjørn Lomborg, the cumulative price tag for the UN Paris Climate Agreement, by the end of the century, would be an astronomical $100 trillion!
“Much has been made of the Paris Climate Agreement signed by the leaders of 178 countries in 2016,” states Dr. Lomborg, president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center in Denmark in a recent video for the Prager University website. When Gina McCarthy, President Obama’s head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, testified before the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, noted Lomborg, she said the Paris Agreement was an “incredible achievement.”

Jared and Ivanka should have to pay the US portion

*************************************************
Jared and Ivanka: Sit down, Shut up!!! We did NOT elect you we elected your father in law and father...your opinions are just that: OPINIONS!!!
And the 100 trillion is all about wealth redistribution and will have 0 effect on climate!
Bump!
A trillion here ... a trillion there ... pretty soon you’re talking about real money.
The global warming scam is the chosen vehicle for a new world order’s Marxism and tyranny.
Throw the UN out of the USA! NOW!
Tell the UN to find another Country! WE are done with their BS Agenda!
Adios UN! HAVE FUN! Please pay your parking tickets on the way out!
Ping.
TOTAL LIE AND SCAM....
Ah, that’s okay. The rich nations of the world can afford to pay to fix the planet that they got rich off almost-destroying.
I’m sorry; did I say ‘nations’? I meant ‘people’ - my sincere apologies...
100 trillion in tax dollars to be transfered to the extremely wealthy, corrupt and powerful to do nothing because we can’t control the climate. But... It is for the children. How can you put a price on the entire planet?
Anyone who didn't realize it would be gargantuan in cost is a fool. It's actually more costly than 100 trillion. It's actual cost is your freedom. Forever.
So far this could only be a thing because Jared or Ivanka said something nice about Paris a year ago with speculation and assertion piled on top. Not reneging on Paris IS reneging on Trump’s whole campaign, not that his only promise was Paris but it is one of a couple of promises that failure to fullful would pretty much negate the reasons for electing him instead of say, Romney. I am sure Mr. Trump understands all that.
Jared and Ivanka are trouble. I hope the story about Jared having a high regard for Bannon are correct...because Bannon needs to get this guy in line.
You know them, it probably costs 20 times that, all over a scam. If they spend $0, the same nothing will happen to the weather.
They really seem like the Deep State moles——may be the reason Trump wasn’t eliminated yet.
and where do you think the mass majority of that 100 trillion dollars is going to go? Toward ‘fixing a non problem’? Or into the pockets of already massively wealthy world leaders and ilk?
This global warming scam is the goose that lays golden eggs- it’s a cash cow- a money tree- we the people pay into it- government big wigs become even more wealthy from it- It is the greatest lie, the greatest scam the greatest crime against humanity ever conceived by a satanic driven agenda bent lying political world
