Trump Resisting Pressure From Europe, Pope On Climate Deal
AP ^ | 05/31/17

Posted on 05/31/2017 10:33:05 AM PDT by Enlightened1

President Donald Trump is expected to withdraw the United States from a landmark global climate agreement, a White House official said Wednesday, though Trump and aides were looking for "caveats in the language" related to the exit and had not made a final decision.

Leaving the deal would fulfill a central campaign pledge, but would anger international allies who spent years in difficult negotiations that produced an accord to reduce carbon emissions.

Trump faced considerable pressure to hold to the deal during visits with European leaders and Pope Francis on his recent trip abroad. The official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the decision before the official announcement, said the president and his aides were finalizing the details of a pullout.

Trump himself tweeted that "I will be announcing my decision on the Paris Accord over the next few days."

Boom!

This is one of the main reasons why the Globalists are so mad at President Trump.

He's not going to play their B.S. game with Carbon Dioxide.

Go President Trump!

The redistribution of wealth can’t happen without the US giving up 100’s of billions of dollars a year

The Pope is a world class expert on Climate. He has a PhD and 30 years of research in climate. So I’m not sure why we’re not listening to him.

Whatever the panic de jour, the leftist solution is to "get rid of" 6.5 Billion people, since the earth can only sustain one half billion people, according to their superior wisdom. That's their explanation and their solution to every perceived and concocted problem.

Climate change? Get rid of 6.5 billion people.

Overpopulation? Get rid of 6.5 billion people.

Famine, starvation? Get rid of 6.5 billion people.

Muslim terrorism, mass slaughter? Get rid of 6.5 billion people.

Budget shortfall? Get rid of 6.5 billion people.

Teen pregnancy? Get rid of 6.5 billion people.

etc., etc. Leftists are simply genocidal maniacs.

Given that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the already unconstitutionally big and corrupt federal government the specific power to regulate, tax and spend in the name of environmental issues, Pres. Trump’s only constitutional option is to walk away from climate deal imo.

The Pope believes in climate change more than he believes in Christ.

Leaving the deal would anger international allies who foolishly spent years in difficult negotiations that produced an accord to unnecessarily reduce carbon emissions because they have nothing to do with climate change, and everything to do with increased taxes and fees and revenue for the godless, socialist EU.

It is disappointing to me that the Pope would accept the premise that Mankind is fundamentally destructive.

There are no clear, direct, and scientifically-proven linkages between human CO2 production and climate change. After billions of dollars spent to prove that mankind is nothing but destructive, those receiving the money have decided that you are causing climate change, and that you will have to pay them more money.

Light reflecting off the Moon puts greater pressure on stuff.

The path is clear.

“A man’s word is his bond.”

“Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity, than straightforward and simple integrity in another.”

I will not rest easy until I hear it from President Trump himself. I sent a message to the White House telling him to pull out. Here is the link.

There are a number of studies which refute Climate Warming including this:

There is no denying climate change since climate has been in a state of change since Creation thanks to mother nature and the sun.

Why haven’t the Democrats accused Trump yet of being a tool for Putin yet on Global Warming? I thought the mantra was to work the words ‘Trump’ and Russia into every story...
