How Michael Bloomberg is defying Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate accords(WINNING)
jta.org ^ | 6/2/2017 | unknown

Following the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris climate accords, Michael Bloomberg is coordinating a group of American governors, mayors, universities and businesses that remain committed to fulfilling the United States’ obligations under the deal.

The media mogul and former New York City mayor also pledged 15 million to the United Nations’ efforts against climate change on Thursday.

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the U.S. will withdraw from the landmark 2015 agreement to fight climate change, signed by every country except Syria and Nicaragua. Trump said the U.S.’s obligations under the accord hurt American business, and that it is “very unfair at the highest level to the United States.”

Bloomberg’s donation will make up for the U.S.’s contribution to the U.N.’s Climate Secretariat, which aids countries in implementing the agreement. Bloomberg — who is the world’s 10th-richest person — serves as the U.N. Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change, and he has long advocated aggressive climate measures.

What a maroon. I was hoping he'd run out of money with all his brilliant schemes but alas it probably ain't gonna happen. Another chapter in the annals of "Life Ain't Fair". At least it isn't our tax dollars. As for his contribution making up the US deficit? Really? A meager $15 million? Oh, only to the "climate secretariat" office. Now doesn't that title look good on ones resume.

And the little dwarf is only 75, so he may be around for a while longer!

Fine-IF it’s his OWN $15 million! Now, if it’s money belonging to taxpayers...he needs his rotten a^% hauled into court! :)

I don’t guess the midget fascist couldn’t be bothered to give $15 million a disabled veterans organization. Instead he gives it to a bunch of globalist bureaucrats to line their pockets with.

FOAD Bloomberg.

How is he “defying” anyone?

If he donates his own money, no one is going to stop you!

Christ these people are as dumb as bricks.

If the states, like Kalifornica, and cities, like NYC, Chicago, etc., decide to go along with Bloomers, they'll have to take it up with their constituents! Most, if not, all, are already hell holes!

Now they are all for states rights!!!

Let them screw people in the Libtard states out of more tax money to finance worldwide wealth redistribution.

Just more encouragement for producers and taxpayers to abandon the socialst run states and move to free America.

In New Yorkers end-up paying what Germans will be paying for electricity, we’ll remind them who to blame.

He’s worse than a maroon

He’s a self absorbed, unpatriotic POS

And that’s being as kind as I can be

Yes, watch them start another World War, and then expect us to shed the blood of young, patriotic Americans to save their ignorant, ungrateful asses . . . again
