I would expect an officer in the marines knows that the defense spending bill that Trump just signed has lots of money for the military to prepare for climate change
19 Aug: Washington Times: Stephen Moore: ‘Who’s the cleanest of them all’
CHART: Paris Accord Flop
No European countries are meeting their targets for emission reductions agreed to in the Paris Climate Accord
All but 5 countries aren’t even at 50% of their current targets.
Take a wild guess what country is reducing its greenhouse gas emissions the most? Canada? Britain? France? India? Germany? Japan? No, no, no, no, no and no.
The answer to that question is the United States of America. Wow! How can that be? This must be a misprint. Fake news. America never signed the Kyoto Protocol some two decades ago. We never enacted a carbon tax. We don’t have a cap and trade carbon emission program. That evironmental villain Donald Trump pulled America out of the Paris climate accord that was signed by almost the entire rest of the civilized world...
The major reason for the reduced pollution levels is the shale oil and gas revolution that is transitioning the world to cheap and clean natural gas for electric power generation.
Meanwhile, as our emissions fell, the pollution levels rose internationally and by a larger amount than in previous years. So much for the rest of the world going green...
For every ton of reduced pollution the United States emits, China and India produce almost 10 more tons...
Yet, we are being lectured by the sanctimonious Europeans and Asians for not doing our fair share to save the planet. It’s another case study in how the left cares far more about good intentions than actual results. What matters is that you say that you will wash the dishes, not that you actually do it.
