Pelosi Tells U.N. Climate Summit That U.S. Is ‘Still in’ Paris Climate Agreement

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asserted Monday at a United Nations climate summit that the U.S. is “still in” the climate change agreement the Trump administration pulled out of last month.

“By coming here we want to say to everyone we are still in,” Pelosi said at a press conference during the United Nations summit in Madrid. “The United States is still in.”

“Our delegation is here to send a message that Congress’s commitment to take action on the climate crisis is iron clad,” the speaker added.

The administration last month began its formal withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Agreement, over two years after President Trump announced his intention to do so. Trump has criticized the non-binding agreement, signed by 195 countries, saying other countries would benefit from the climate accord while the U.S. economy suffers. Wealthier countries such as the U.S. had pledged to assist financially struggling countries meet their greenhouse-gas emissions-reduction goals.

Thank you President Trump for abandoning this worthless, globalist 'treaty'.

STFU Nancy.

Would that not be a textbook violation of the Logan Act? If so, it isn’t the first time she’s done it.

Sure the Dems are still in it. The only problem is they’ll have to work with a 90% less free money

I used to drag race at a local track that had its own heads up go as fast as you can afford to pounds per cubic inch classes. The UN reminds me of this, somewhere along the line, the racers made up an association to change class rules. Like any sport, there were only 2 or possibly 3 competitors that had a serious chance of winning on any given night, so the rules changes were made to keep the guys who were fast from winning, which is pretty much what the UN does, they’ll all sign on to any program that hurts the USA cause they’re the winners, rather than take the time and effort to become winners themselves.

Yeah, yeah. San Fran Nan is going to use all the power her office grants her - none - to force U.S. participation in a treaty - never ratified - that obliges the U.S. to action on carbon emission - that we’ve already accomplished more than any signatory to the treaty. If it were possible to concoct a greater exercise in fatuity and futility than this ridiculous “Look at me, I’m important” fashion runway it’s hard to imagine what it would be.

Pelosi wants to be president and will do/say anything that demonstrates the power she wields as the Speaker, even to act like she has more power than President Trump. Trump really needs to publicly yank her chain over her comment.

Definitely publicly humiliate her for this major power overreach.

I think that even the Euroweenies know better than to hang their hopes on a 3rd rate politician.

Trump should line up a slate of actual climate scientists and suggest an open debate with a slate chosen by Nancy. Non-climate specialists need not apply.

The global warmers have already shown an unwillingness to a public debate. This is because the actual evidence is not on their side.

That only works if there is some vodka added to it.

Who made HER POTUS in telling them we’re still in this?

She’s got some gall!

POTUS should shut down these trips.

She and her fellow travelers do not consider Donald Trump to be President.

They just don’t.

They have flatly rejected the results of the election and inauguration and consider his entire administration to be illegitimate. They have been working tirelessly since the election to remove him from the office.
