IT TOOK global negotiators a quarter-century to strike the Paris climate agreement, an international accord aimed at slowing global warming. The agreement represents the best hope for a world in which no one country acting alone can do enough to fight this global threat. Donald Trump could destroy the agreement with a stroke of a pen, and with it any hope that the world will keep the planets temperature within the boundaries scientists say are safe.
The Paris deal represents a major U.S. commitment, but it is not a treaty with the force of law. President Obama submitted the U.S. emissions goal; Mr. Trump could withdraw it just as easily. He also could deeply undercut or eliminate the basis for any future U.S. commitment. Mr. Trump has promised to rescind the Clean Power Plan, which obliges electrical utilities to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions by cutting down on coal burning and increasing their use of natural gas and renewables. The Environmental Protection Agency drew up the plan using authorities that Congress gave it decades ago in the Clean Air Act. Mr. Trump could press the agency to revoke it or water it down.

We are only $20 TRILLION in the hole. This ridiculous rag would have us spend at least a few trillion more for this fantasy of the ungodly. (Those who trust God know that “He upholds all things by the word of his power.”)
What is.......Another reason to vote for Trump.
There...fixed it.
Let’s see ... He’s going to start nuclear war with Russia AND cause the oceans to rise. These idiots need to realize that nuclear winter will COOL the earth and reduce carbon emissions far below those 1990 levels they cherish. Hell, in 1,000 years, you won’t even be able to tell we were here!
(Sarcasm implied)
I wish these fearmongers would stick to a single narrative.
“A President Trump could wreck progress on global warming”
Yes that’s the idea.
A President Trump could wreck progress on global warming
I sure hope so!
I am hoping President Trump will put the mainstream media into a “time out” for the next 4 years.
Good Lord! That’s a feature of a Trump Presidency, not a fault!
Well, first of all, there is little, if any, AGW. Secondly, even if there is a bit of warming, there is nothing that can realistically be done to stop it anyway. Thirdly, where is it written that a bit of warming is necessarily a bad thing?
As if I needed another reason to vote Trump ...
The Revolution is ON!
Vote Trump!
And the problem is????........heehee.....love it
Global warmists should be put
in prison for subversive talk calling for fire where there is none, yet they are the ones poised to handle the Staliniat prosecutions.
The EPA is the consensus evil and opposing globul warming is opposing the EPa thugs, ergo, because we are getting stuck on federal
stupid, we are marching on to stalinian genocide
I know for certain that no progress has been made on global warming because puny humans do not have the ability to affect global climate for good or bad.
We are so insignificant on this YUGE planet that nothing we could do would have a GLOBAL effect.
We’re just not that important.
How can you set back a myth? Definitionally, that means you’re making progress.
He will fly Trump Force One to the Sun and negotiate the amount of Sunlight directed towards the Earth.
That should help. #;^)
I read an article recently showing the futility of the Man-made Global Warming argument.
The volcanic eruption in Iceland a few years ago emitted enough CO2 to completely erase any benefits of all human CO2 emission efforts - in 4 days. The those who think that we can actually alter our planet by using more wind energy, there are approximately 200 active volcanoes on earth at any given time.
To further compound the problem, the Paris treaty has mandated that atmospheric CO2 content be reduced from the current 400 parts per million to 220 parts per million. At 120 parts per million, all plant life on earth ceases to exist.
CO2 is food - for plants - per my 6th grade science teacher.
correction: the volcano in Iceland erased the past 5 YEARS of emissions/clean energy efforts in 4 days.
