There must be tons and tons and tons and tons of money involved somehow
Do these oil companies want to buy and/or sell carbon credits? There has to be a financial motive to their buying into this “climate change” BS.
Trump has allowed this to drag on far too long and given time for national and international campaigns to organize and predict the end of the world if the US withdraws. Ivanka and Kushner are also in favor of staying in the agreement. It is only his base that wants out. Who is going to win?
Wow, major oil companies lobbying the President to stay *in* a “climate” accord. Nothing fishy about that at all.
That sounds counter-intuitive, doesn’t it?
It seemed as if just a few years ago the “evil” energy companies were the biggest obstacle to action against globull warming, or so the libs told us.
Trump will do the right thing and exit this scam (and not piss off his base).
but must be tough for him as a dealmaker since he has leverage (’art of the deal’) to get concessions.
Why do these corporations have to be in some global agreement to do something that can be done without an agreement?
seems to me this paris agreement should be renamed "another way to scam the United States"
They want to sell energy credits.
These CEOs have liberal wives and they want to please them.
Tesla’s CEO? His company is subsudized by tax payers to make cars that are essentially toys for the very wealthy. Shameless confict of interest rather than concern for the enviorment? And whats with the moral obligation that tax payers have to help rich peole buy toys? Shall we also be subsidising their yaughts?
Because, without the government financial input, US industry would have to pay for compliance with the accord.
Follow the money.
Isn’t this what the left refers to as “corporate welfare?
Global elite to the rescue!
It Trump caves on this one, I will cease to care if the Deep State takes him down.
It will prove our globalist left is in ultimate control anyway, so may was well let the system run to its obvious conclusion.
Same question you ask on every policy matter - Is this policy a net benefit to the American worker?
If these CEOs really believed this climate change crap they wouldn’t live as they do.
No. When it comes to policy, the goals should be to ditch the bogus Paris Climate Agreement and to completely remove all vestiges of Global Warming from the federal government.
Global Warming, or whatever name it morphs into, is a scam foisted on the unwary by totalitarians. It has no basis in science. It is designed to overwhelm the common man's pocketbook by death through a thousand cuts and make him dependent on the federal government.
CEOs are free to commit their companies, it's bondholders, stockholders, and employees to this nonsense. They can suffer marketplace consequences. But the federal government has no authority to subject the nation to this.
if the Paris Climate Accord is set to cost the USA jobs and cause energy prices to rise by 20%, then Trump has no choice but to get us out of it. If he doesn’t, it will likely cost him his political future, if the ruling elite don’t get him first.
Blah blah blah.
Irrespective of our “membership “ in the accord, individuals and companies can choose to reduce emissions as they see fit.
There is nothing preventing that at all.
Which means the reason to get into the “accord” is something else. What is it? My money?
Add to the subterfuge that the biggest polluters - China and India - aren’t even in the “accord”. Which means rules promulgated by the “accord” represent than 3% of emissions. That’s pointless. So why join up? More of my money?
Add to the subterfuge and the glaring omission of China and India the fact that nobody is even sure we’re causing warming or that we can slow it....or even that it matters...the earth changes it over time in cycles so who’s to say this isn’t normal?! Why continue the preposterous argument? Even more of my money?
It’s a load of crap and Trump had better not subject us to it. He promised he’d get us out from under it and it’s simply a decision for him to make.
It would be a real problem for his base should he make the wrong choice.
