Trump drops by United Nations climate summit
CBS News ^ | 09/23/2019 | BY EMILY TILLETT

Posted on 09/23/2019 10:22:14 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Trump briefly stopped by a daylong summit of world leaders meeting to discuss climate change at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York before leaving to address a meeting on the persecution of religious minorities and his administration's efforts to support religious freedom.

Earlier Monday morning, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham raised the possibility that Mr. Trump might find time to appear at the climate change summit. "His schedule is ever changing, but it wouldn't surprise me if he popped by," she said in an appearance on Fox News.

And Mr. Trump did end up dropping by a morning session, where he was seen listening to the climate discussion inside the General Assembly Hall. Seated with new U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft and Vice President Mike Pence, the president listened intently for about 10 minutes before departing for his religious freedom event.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, who has been making a push to end new coal plant construction by 2020 to curb greenhouse gas emissions, did not want countries supporting the expansion of coal production to have allotted speaking time at the climate summit, so as a result, the leaders of Australia and Japan will reportedly also not be addressing the summit.

Trump should have told them that he is gratified that today, the first day of fall, it will be warm enough in New York that he can go play golf at one of his clubs wearing shorts.

Hahaha, is this the globalists’ meeting at which the Fraud always needed to be front and center, obscuring the other climate freaks?

According to the British Medical Association's world-renowned journal, The Lancet, cold weather kills 20 times as many people as hot weather. In an international study analyzing over 74 million deaths in 384 locations across 13 countries, by far the most deaths are caused by moderately cold temperatures.

This is well-know and fairly well understood. Every 1 degree C. higher the surface air temp, on a global average, yields a predictable decrease in overall mortality. Just as every additional week in the average growing season --- due to warmth pushing back the first frost date ---results in *big* increases in crop success and food.

I'm stumped.

Why don't the enviros care about humanity?

Why the President would think it’s a good idea to visit that den of parasites is beyond me.Other than seeing our allies in person it’s not worth a damned.

"Why the President would think it’s a good idea to visit that den of parasites is beyond me."

Being a good host, President Trump stopped by out of etiquette.

President Trump then displayed his lack of interest by leaving.

imo

Growing Degree Days is a term for the amount of heat available for the crops to grow and mature.

Minnesota is at about 80% of normal this year. This is global cooling for real.

Wouldn’t it have been a hoot if he came in, sat down, got up ten seconds later and left.

Ha ha ha ha... would have loved that.

Ten minutes gets the same point across.

It’s utter nonsense...
