Countries that are getting money will sign any non-binding agreement.
Trump took away almost all the money, that’s their problem.

Is the mayor of Pittsburgh going to pony up a billion dollars - the billion the world’s parasites demanded with this treaty?

The mayor? Personally?? Oh, HELL no....that’s what the taxpayers are for /s
Pittsburg is an interesting choice to make an issue of. For the period 1990-2015 (25 years) the average temperature has declined slightly. (No warming)
Check it out—
Didn't many of the major "still mills" close in that same timeframe?
Which lead to the flight of the working class and made Hays, Hazelwood*, and other boroughs even more dangerous as only the parasite class was left behind (or those unable to sell their house were stuck and left victim to parasites) - particularly Dravosburg as they lost their police force and West Mifflin cops rarely cross over to police Dravosburg "because there is no crime there"......prompting even more people to flee the area.
Which means less industry, and less greenhouse gasses - see Pittsburgh is "winning" the fight against climate change.
United Steel Workers for 0bama! United Steel Workers for Hillary! United Steel Workers for the Paris accords! United Steel Workers Unemployed!
I think this mayor must be drink unfiltered water from the Mong.
*(although I hear parts of Hazelwood are being "gentrified" which is pushing the problem into surrounding areas)
The Battle of Fort Duquesne was a British assault on the eponymous French fort (later the site of Pittsburgh) that was repulsed with heavy losses on 14 September 1758, during the French and Indian War.Duquesne is roughly pronounced ducane.The attack on Fort Duquesne was part of a large-scale British expedition with 6,000 troops led by General John Forbes to drive the French out of the contested Ohio Country (the upper Ohio River Valley) and clear the way for an invasion of Canada.
Though the French had beaten off the initial British attack, Lignery understood that his force of about 600 could not hold Fort Duquesne against the main British force of more than ten times that number. The French continued to occupy Fort Duquesne until November 26, when the garrison set fire to the fort and left under the cover of darkness.
No doubt...he meant PA
No he din’t . . . :)
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.Clearly he meant Pittsburgh, PA as he said it specifically elsewhere in the speech.
I can see the idjits in Pittsburgh vote on referendum to join the Paris Agreement and then say, “See! Trump represents US so he has to return to the party.”
Dat’s how lib’rals roll, ya’know!
The low-information Democrat mayor evidently does not understand that the $100 billion in unconstitutional foreign aid targeted for the Paris wealth redistribution scam was wrongly appropriated by means of unconstitutional federal taxes. These are taxes that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, state sovereignty-ignoring Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, such taxes arguably stolen state revenues.
”If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In fact, if you consider that Pennsylvania's chunk of the stolen state revenues that Trump hypothetically recovered for the states by pulling out of the Paris wealth redistribution scam is very roughly $2 billion, then Pittsburgh’s share, based on city populations, is roughly over $47 million.
But I suppose that Pittsburgh mayor can unilaterally support Paris by sending Paris $47 million from Pittsburgh city revenues since Paris isn’t getting it from Trump. /sarc
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
In fact, if Justice Gorsuch turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Peduto is just another democrat. Nothing else needs said.
“The citizens of Paris, Texas are deeply saddened.”
In the context of Trump’s remarks, “Paris” was a bad thing so it was obviously not a reference to Paris, Texas. Or Paris, Tennessee.
Strange that the mayor of Pittsburgh would take offense at what Trump said - it used to be one of the dirtiest cities in the country with highly polluted air - it cleaned itself up using local enterprise, ingenuity, and technology - if anything shows that we don’t need some highfalutin international “agreement” (one that involves no assistance from other countries and billions of our tax dollars) to fight pollution and “climate change”, even the fanciful kind, that achievement would be it.....
