Thank you!

Basically, “climate change” policy will enrich anyone who owns or deals with carbon credits. It will enslave anyone who has carbon debt. It will force you to change your behavior based on the will of an unelected global governance through monetary penalty and lethal force.

Does anybody remember the medical consensus that eggs cause high cholesterol? Oops! Never mind. It turns out that after years of egg shunning that eggs are perfectly safe to eat.

Anyone living in a rich western nation would be assigned a carbon footprint the size of someone living in a hut in a third world nation. We will always be in carbon debt, therefore poor nations would suddenly become carbon credit rich and rich nations would be carbon credit poor. It will be the largest wealth transfer in human history.

Sadly, too few Americans could be bothered to read the fine print and figure this out. CNN certainly didn't bother mentioning these details. My Facebook feed is already blowing up with "Trump Is In Bed With Big Oil To Poison The Planet!" type of comments from people who will never experience the economic ruin that he just saved us from.

And come campaign season, the Democrats certainly aren't going to thank him.

What kind of wretched, hateful, treasonous, despicable, lowlife, evil person would have done that to his own country?Oh wait...it was the democrat Obama.

President Trump should counter his critics by convening a White House conference on climate. In addition to the apostles of climate change, he should invite scientists -- and only those specializing in climate science -- that have been marginalized from the debate. These would include MIT climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen, who claims believing that CO2 controls the climate "is pretty close to believing in magic.”

None of those participating in the proposed conference should be academics or scientists who receive federal grants or have other connections to government. This might give them a conflict of interest and reduce their credibility.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex . . Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades. In this revolution, research has become central; it also becomes more formalized, complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.

. . . the free university . . . has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity . . . The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money . . . is gravely to be regarded.

Yet . . . we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address

1. Humans are weaklings.
2. Trump is human.
3. To forgive is divine.

just like all immature temper tantrums, you gotta either let them tire themselves out and try to prevent them from hurting themselves or anyone else in the meantime, or spank em and put them to bed without any dinner-

Seeings how we’ve ‘spared the rod and spoiled the rotten little brats’ already- we should probably just ignore them and let them fizzle out from exhaustion

Ideologues can’t stop from overplaying their hand. It’s who they are. They never change and they never go away.

Bunch of evil humans were busy in London last night.

The hysteria is coming mostly from people who don’t have a clue what the agreement is ACTUALLY about.
