World leaders laud US return to climate fight under Biden

BERLIN -- World leaders breathed an audible sigh of relief that the United States under President Joe Biden is rejoining the global effort to curb climate change, a cause that his predecessor had shunned.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron were among those welcoming Biden's decision to rejoin the the Paris climate accord, reversing a key Trump policy in the first hours of his presidency Wednesday.

Former President Donald Trump had questioned the scientific warnings about man-made global warming, at times accusing other countries of using the Paris accord as a club to hurt the U.S.

By contrast, Biden put the fight against climate change at the center of his presidential campaign and on Wednesday immediately launched a series of climate-friendly efforts to bring Washington back in step with the rest of the world on the issue.

“A cry for survival comes from the planet itself,” Biden said in his inaugural address. “A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear now.”

Italy said the U.S. return to the Paris accord would help other countries reach their own climate commitments.

The Vatican, too, was clearly pleased given the decision aligns with Pope Francis’ environmental agenda and belief in multilateral diplomacy.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was more muted in her reaction, noting merely that her government would “probably have a more similar opinion” with Biden on issues such as the Paris climate accord, migration and the World Health Organization.

Of course they sighed in relief and lauded the return of the US. Now they don’t have to actually do anything, because they can point to America and say ‘the US uses so much more energy, it has to cut back before any of us, and it has to contribute more to the “cause” to make up for it, and we will be cutting our contributions until it does’.

IOW, their favorite scapegoat has wandered back onto the field, so now everything will be our responsibility again.

“We Can Change the Weather”.... HUCKSTERS of FRAUD “science” presented as “consensus” science (which there can never be— consensus in scientific hypothesis and proofs of hypothesis moving toward a repeatable same outcome experimentation. NOT computer projected AI modeling.. real data).

Here is who the “Climate Change” green party (actually RED COMMUNIST party who wants people out of self reliant work by breaking our system). Here is who their salesman hucksters are— “how will you do it?”.

And note NO LIBERAL is asking the questions these actors ask of him:

GERMAN “Democratic Socialist” EU running REJOICE!

More “other people’s money” OUR U.S. money— but then the Fed Reserve considers it their money... and Janet Yellin the incompetent boobwasie with a voice like Carol Channing—

They rejoice for having money THEY DON’T have to spend of their OWN.

Other people’s money— what they run out of as SOCIALISM FAILs.

World Bankers— Golden Slacks— Goldman Sachs. Specific elements of the world problem, not generically applied.

China is laughing hysterically at the stupid Americans.

They now know for certain that they are the center of the universe and destined to rule over the inferior races.

Right after DJT exited the Paris Agreement, the German auto industry put out this statement:

“The regrettable announcement by the USA makes it inevitable that Europe must facilitate a cost efficient and economically feasible climate policy to remain internationally competitive,” Matthias Wissmann, president of the German auto industry lobby group VDA, said in a statement on Friday.

“The preservation of our competitive position is the precondition for successful climate protection. This correlation is often underestimated,” Wissmann said, adding that the decision by the Unites States was disappointing.

The VDA said electricity and energy prices are already higher in Germany than in the United States, putting Germany at a disadvantage.

Biden can probably get Senate confirmation now. Obama never tried. He knew it would be defeated.
