Trump Makes It Official, Tells The UN We’re Getting Out Of The Paris Accord
The Daily Caller ^ | August 5, 2017 | Tim Pearce

Posted on 08/06/2017 4:11:34 PM PDT by bobsunshine

The Trump administration notified the United Nations Friday that the U.S. intends to officially withdraw from the Paris climate accord, the Department of State announced.

Following the procedure laid out in the agreement, the United States will withdraw “as soon as it is eligible to do so.”

The earliest the U.S. can begin officially withdrawing from the accord is Nov. 4, 2019, under the terms of the Paris agreement. The notice to the UN is largely ceremonial, and the earliest a full withdrawal can be finalized is November 2020, one year after official proceedings have begun, The Hill reports.

President Donald Trump announced he would pull the country out of the agreement in a June 1 speech in the Rose Garden. Trump claimed the accord was “less about the climate and more about other countries gaining a financial advantage over the United States.”

“How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?”

They don’t. They plan on controlling us.

It was never meant to work. It was all about money and control—of the US.

“If it does appear in MSM news it will be in an antagonistic way as to make Trump look and sound as if he is “out of touch” with what people want.”

Yep. All those deplorables.

And yet, Trump won!

POTUS DJT

Hillary lost.

Trump won.

And yet, “If it does appear in MSM news it will be in an antagonistic way as to make Trump look and sound as if he is “out of touch” with what people want.”

BUT!

We will continue to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions through innovation and technology breakthroughs,

Perhaps they left that in there to keep global warming believers Ivanka and Jared happy, but I don't like seeing the perpetuated myth of CO2 being a threat to the Erf.

It was never binding anyway.

Under a Hitlery Presidency, (*shudder*), it would of been.

Amen! Remove the Marxist anti-American world bureaucracy from the streets of Manhattan and all the diplomatic cars and excessive personnel it takes to maintain such a sham.
Mail their unpaid parking tickets to their new address in Somalia, which, considering it’s the UN, I would consider centrally located.

Nonsense! Just inform the UN that, in accord with the U.S. Constitution, since the Paris agreement was never ratified by the Senate that the U.S. was never a party to it. End of statement.

There’s nothing to withdraw from. Obama didn’t have authority to commit the United States.

I figure sooner or later we’ll all get so used to winning that it will become just an ordinary event. Thankfully, that hasn’t happened yet.

Go President Trump. More winning please.

Upon hearing the news, I believe the temperature went up 1 degree in the UN building as the reps had steam coming out their ears.

Now if I could see the magic words, “Trump makes it official, Tell the UN to get out of the USA,” I think I would fall out of my chair!

There will be “sea rise” stories saturating MSM soon!

And thousands of Indian farmers committing suicide. That was my favorite.

Exactly. And if our money is still flowing to the other "signatories" of the agreement, withOUT congressional ratification, we need to know how and why - and we need to legislatively plug that hole and line the path to it with landmines.
