Statement by President Trump on the Paris Climate Accord

[FONT=&quot]As President, I have one obligation, and that obligation is to the American people. The Paris Accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risks, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world. It is time to exit the Paris Accord -- (applause) -- and time to pursue a new deal that protects the environment, our companies, our citizens, and our country.

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]It is time to put Youngstown, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania -- along with many, many other locations within our great country -- before Paris, France. It is time to make America great again. (Applause.) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

"Pulling out of the Paris agreement doesn't put America first, it puts America last in recognizing science, in being a world leader and protecting our shore line, our economy and our planet,"

Global Warming devotees fearing that rising tides will soon drown mankind take solace in the fact that your climate guru,
Al Gore, recently bought a $9 million beach front home in Montecito. Guess Al is not really afraid of sinking into the sea.

'Earth to Trump': F*** you!': German newspaper delivers hard hitting message to Trump after he pulls out of Paris climate change accord and joins Syria and Nicaragua as non-members

article-4565498-4107ABBB00000578-502_636x382.jpg




Donald Trump has been lambasted by a German newspaper with the headline 'Earth to Trump - f**k you!' after he pulled out of the Paris climate change accord as world leaders unite to criticise him.The Berliner Kurier used the expletive headline as German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday vowed 'more decisive action than ever' to protect the climate after the US pullout. 'We in Germany, in Europe and the world will band together to take more decisive action than ever to confront and successfully surmount major challenges to humanity such as climate change,' she told reporters.




Germany got
F***ed both World Wars cockingasnook()




They are in meltdown because a strong POTUS, who puts his own people first unlike Obama who put America last.



No longer is America paymaster general for the World. They are sick because they have to start financing things themselves.

Trump misunderstood MIT climate research, university officials say


Trump announced during a speech at the White House Rose Garden that he had decided to pull out of the landmark climate deal, in part because it would not reduce global temperatures fast enough to have a significant impact.


"Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100," Trump said.


"Tiny, tiny amount."


That claim was attributed to research conducted by MIT, according to White House documents seen by Reuters. The Cambridge, Massaschusetts-based research university published a study in April 2016 titled "How much of a difference will the Paris Agreement make?" showing that if countries abided by their pledges in the deal, global warming would slow by between 0.6 degree and 1.1 degrees Celsius by 2100.


"We certainly do not support the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris agreement," said Erwan Monier, a lead researcher at the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, and one of the study's authors.


"If we don't do anything, we might shoot over 5 degrees or more and that would be catastrophic," said John Reilly, the co-director of the program, adding that MIT's scientists had had no contact with the White House and were not offered a chance to explain their work.

According to researchers at MIT, if all member nations met their obligations, the impact on the climate would be negligible. The impacts have been estimated to be likely to reduce global temperature rise by 0.2 degrees Celsius in 2100.
Nice try

Massachusetts Institute of Technology officials said U.S. President Donald Trump badly misunderstood their research when he cited it on Thursday to justify withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Trump announced during a speech at the White House Rose Garden that he had decided to pull out of the landmark climate deal, in part because it would not reduce global temperatures fast enough to have a significant impact.


"Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full, with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it would only produce a two-tenths of one degree Celsius reduction in global temperature by the year 2100," Trump said.

"Tiny, tiny amount."


That claim was attributed to research conducted by MIT, according to White House documents seen by Reuters. The Cambridge, Massaschusetts-based research university published a study in April 2016 titled "How much of a difference will the Paris Agreement make?" showing that if countries abided by their pledges in the deal, global warming would slow by between 0.6 degree and 1.1 degrees Celsius by 2100.

"We certainly do not support the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris agreement," said Erwan Monier, a lead researcher at the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, and one of the study's authors.


"If we don't do anything, we might shoot over 5 degrees or more and that would be catastrophic," said John Reilly, the co-director of the program, adding that MIT's scientists had had no contact with the White House and were not offered a chance to explain their work.


The Paris accord, reached by nearly 200 countries in 2015, was meant to limit global warming to 2 degrees or less by 2100, mainly through country pledges to cut carbon dioxide and other emissions from the burning of fossil fuels.


Under the pact, the United States - the world's second biggest carbon emitter behind China - had committed to reduce its emissions by 26 percent to 28 percent from 2005 levels by 2025.

A senior administration official defended Trump's use of the findings. "It's not just MIT. I think there is a consensus, not only in the environmental community, but elsewhere that the Paris agreement in and of itself will have a negligible impact on climate," the official told reporters at a briefing.


The dispute is the latest round of a years-long battle between scientists and politicians over how to interpret facts about the effects of burning fossil fuels on the global climate, and translate them into policy.


Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on the science of climate change and once called it a hoax perpetrated by China to weaken U.S. business.

It’s time for AMERICA to be in control of AMERICA’s future.

That’s why President Trump withdrew the United States from the disastrous Paris Climate Deal yesterday.

No longer will your government funnel billions of your tax dollars into the hands of global power brokers who don’t have your interests in mind.

No longer will your government crush American families with job-killing regulations.

No longer will your government be happy about putting coal miners out of business.

This is one more instance of a promise made and a promise kept.

Now he needs you to show the media that American voters support our AMERICA FIRST agenda.

I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
Thank you,

Team TRUMP

I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP

[h=1]Editorial Boards Praise President Trump’s Paris Decision[/h]


[FONT=&quot]
“What the nation won’t do, thanks to the president, is devastate its own economy against the public’s wishes in order to satisfy the global elite. Count this as a major Trump promise kept.” – New York Post



THE NEW YORK POST:
In Ditching Paris Deal, Trump Does Right By America And The World In quitting the Paris Accord, President Trump on Thursday did nothing to shift the course of US environmental policy — not even on carbon emissions. But he did put the world on notice that no president can unilaterally commit this nation to such far-reaching agreements. … Yet America will continue to cut its carbon emissions: They’re already down by a fifth since 2000, thanks to fracking and the gradual replacement of coal plants with natural-gas ones. That’s better than Europe did as it implemented Kyoto by making electricity cost twice as much as it does here. Nor did Paris make sense. As Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg notes, it entails costs of over $1 trillion a year to shave 0.36 degrees Fahrenheit off global temperatures by 2100 — a tenth the reduction it said is necessary. … America has far cleaner air and water than it did 50 years ago, and more parkland. It should continue those trends, and keep reducing its carbon emissions — democratically. What the nation won’t do, thanks to the president, is devastate its own economy against the public’s wishes in order to satisfy the global elite. Count this as a major Trump promise kept.



THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:
“Trump Bids Paris Adieu”President Trump announced the U.S. will withdraw from the Paris climate agreement on Thursday, to the horror of green elites world-wide. If the decision shows he is more mindful of American economic interests than they are, the other virtue of pulling out is to expose the fraudulence of this Potemkin village. … But amid the outrage, the aggrieved still haven’t gotten around to resolving the central Paris contradiction, which is that it promises to be Earth-saving but fails on its own terms. It is a pledge of phony progress. The 195 signatory nations volunteered their own carbon emission-reduction pledges, known as ‘intended nationally determined contributions,’ or INDCs. China and the other developing nations account for 63% of annual global CO 2 emissions, and their share is rising. They submitted INDCs that pledged to peak the carbon status quo ‘around’ 2030, and maybe later, or never, since Paris included no enforcement mechanisms to prevent cheating. Meanwhile, the developed OECD nations—responsible for 55% of world CO 2 as recently as 2000—made unrealistic assurances that even they knew they could not achieve. As central-planning prone as the Obama Administration was, it never identified a tax-and-regulation program that came close to meeting its own emissions pledge of 26% to 28% reductions from 2005 levels by 2025.



NATIONAL REVIEW:
“We’ll Never Have Paris” President Donald Trump has decided to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord. The United States never should have been in it in the first place, and it’s not even entirely clear that it ever was. In choosing American interests over Davos pieties — in the face of resistance from some within his own administration — the president here has made good on his promise to put America first. The Paris Agreement is a treaty in all but name: The European signatories put it through their usual treaty-ratification protocols, but the United States did not. President Obama went to great lengths to pretend that the treaty was something other than a treaty because he did not wish to submit it for ratification by the Senate, which was almost sure to reject it — as, indeed, the Senate would likely reject it today. In a government of laws, process matters. Substance matters, too, and here the Paris Agreement is deficient.



INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY:
“By Leaving Paris Climate-Change Deal, Trump Will Do U.S. Economy A 'Yuuuge' Favor”Climate Change: President Trump is letting it be known that he intends to take the U.S. out of the Paris Accords on climate change. While it will no doubt cause a political flap, it's a smart move that ends the cynical charade of limiting climate change by shrinking our economy. … This is another reason why Donald Trump's election has been so fortunate; had all this taken place under President Hillary Clinton, the U.S. would today be saddled with economy-killing regulations that would have destroyed our prosperity and cost us hundreds of billions of dollars a year for nothing in return.



WASHINGTON TIMES:
“The Promise To Keep”President Trump said during the campaign last year that the rest of the world is laughing behind America’s back, and never would that be more evident than if the United States becomes a party to the ruinous Paris accord. This is a shakedown of the American taxpayer for a treaty that will do nothing to save or clean up the planet. This might be worth the cost, as enormous as it would be, if there were a genuine environmental benefit. Alas, there is none. China and India — by far the two largest polluters — have announced they will build hundreds of new coal-fired plants to power economic expansion. They’re not about to let climate change concerns stall their economic engines. China first, India first, and no apology. But America is expected to sign a treaty that would decree that for every coal plant closed in Ohio or shuttered in West Virginia, China and India would build 10 new plants.

All of a sudden, lefties armed with the hatred of Trump, China has become the knight on the white horse
saving the planet from climate change disaster, yikes! Yea they take the lead on this global scam
as long as they don't have to reduce emissions till 2030, while Obama in our much cleaner environment
in the US promised to dramatic reduction in U.S. emissions: 26 to 28 percent. 'Further more Obama
he committed the United States to lead the transfer of $100 billion in annual “climate finance” from the
developed world to the developing countries that are pledging nothing.'

'Determined to display “leadership,” President Obama made the classic mistake of the kid who hears everyone
is going skinny-dipping, strips naked, plunges into the water, and then turns to find his dry and still-modest
peers laughing from the shore as they run off with his clothes.' In 5 years despite being the country that made the ambitious pledge,
that pursued the costly policies, and that sent taxpayer funds abroad, it will be the United States that is “failing” on its
climate commitments. The American people will find themselves the climate villains, told to do more, asked to give more.
But their promise-making, deal-signing president will be long gone.

Trump is an American statesmen of the highest order to see through the pitfalls of this strange accord!

The United States contributed $1 billion to the global Green Climate Fund, but the world's top
polluters contributed nothing, David Asman reported.

Asman said on "Forbes on Fox" that China, Russia and India contributed no money to the Green
Climate Fund, yet that international community pressured the U.S. to join the Paris Climate Accord.

Steve Forbes said that the billion-dollar payment is another reason why President
Trump was smart to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris agreement.
