Trump administration resists global climate efforts at home and overseas
WAPO ^ | 12/9/2018 | David Nakamura Darryl Fears

Posted on 12/09/2018 5:04:53 PM PST by bitt

The United States joined a controversial proposal by Saudi Arabia and Russia this weekend to weaken a reference to a key report on the severity of global warming, sharpening battle lines at the global climate summit in Poland aimed at gaining consensus over how to combat rising temperatures.

Arguments erupted Saturday night before a United Nations working group focused on science and technology, where the United States teamed with Russia, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to challenge language that would have welcomed the findings of the landmark report, which said that the world has barely 10 years to cut carbon emissions by nearly half to avoid catastrophic warming.

Good, that’s why we elected him.

Gore-Bull Warming was never more than an excuse to redistribute American money to the UN.

What bilge these fear mongers put forth. If anything, we need some Global warming. Real Scientists know that we are entering a grand solar minimum(Baby IT’S REALLY GONNA BE COLD OUTSIDE) and the DECREASED sun activity has impact that we can’t begin to counter.

What caused the original ICE AGE to end? There weren’t any fossil fuel guzzling cars back then. So sick of this.

"... Trump administration resists global climate efforts at home and overseas ..."

.... Kind of hard to commit to something that can'd decide whether the climate is warming or cooling is it? Heck .... Are we supposed to buy more Hot Beach Wear or Arctic Parkas for crying out loud???

Exactly. Globalism can only lead to tyranny. Once you have a global government, who keeps it in check?

Winning!

Can’t put enough !’s after winning.

The climate change scam is fundamental to the leftist agenda and it’s insidious in permeating all aspects of life to the point of being central to what can only be seen as a type of religion.

Very few politicians have the guts, even if they can see the climate change scam, to kick against these pricks.

Headline: Trump administration resists global climate efforts at home and overseas

and good for him
and hurray for the enemies of global governance
and “right on” from the anti-socialists
and so on
and so forth

Centralized control of every nation and society, and the authority to control and redistribute ALL resources of economy, is only impeded by the moral boundaries of liberty and life loving, God loving believers.

As a act of judgement (imminent), God will soon give the humanistic, anti-God, anti-life, anti-American, left-wing, global socialist a brief interlude of what they want - complete subjugation to the worst centralized tyranny in the history of the world, in A WORLD WITGOUT GOD!

So, last I heard in the ‘70s the world had only 10 years to stop global cooling or we would all die. Same in the ‘80s and ‘90s, or was that global warming?
‘00s/ ‘10s climate change will kill us if we do not act in 10 days (or is that 10 hours?).

Decades of climate catastrophe predictions and none of them have been accurate. None! Not even close. Anyone who believes the latest claptrap is either complicit or a dupe.

How about - “A WORLD WITHOUT GOD”!

This is what the left ultimately wants!

The utterly stupid “climate change” hoax, is just one of several tyrannical tools to be used against the blind and dumb sheep, modern socoeties have become.

The real alarmists are climate change cultists trying to make life more expensive and stressful for everyone.

High carbon taxes are not being accepted as a climate change solution.

Australians are being told by gloBULL warming insiders that we have SHOCKED unnamed delegates/countries because we said nothing!
everyone should ditch the Paris Agreement before they extort even more trillions of dollars from the world economy:

10 Dec: Guardian: Australia’s silence during climate change debate shocks COP24 delegates
Country accused of tacitly supporting oil allies’ rejection of the latest science
by Ben Doherty in Katowice, Poland
As four of the world’s largest oil and gas producers blocked UN climate talks from “welcoming” a key scientific report on global warming, Australia’s silence during a key debate is being viewed as tacit support for the four oil allies: the US, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Kuwait…
Australia did not speak during the at-times heated debate, a silence noted by many countries on the floor of the conference, Dr Bill Hare, the managing director of Climate Analytics and a lead author on previous IPCC reports, told Guardian Australia...

Richie Merzian, climate and energy program director at the Australia Institute, said widespread goodwill across the Katowice talks was being undermined by “a handful of countries” trying to disconnect the science and urgency from the implementation of the Paris agreement...
