I blame the Mexicans. They eat a lot of beans. They cause global warming and air pollution.

"If we lag, the noose tightens," said Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer, co-editor of the peer-reviewed journal Climatic Change - This is an opinion of one individual, dripping in hyperbole, designed to raise your emotions.

"If we lag, the noose tightens," said Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer, co-editor of the peer-reviewed journal Climatic Change - This part tricks you into giving that opinion some weight.

Climate Change is a religion, not a science.

What happens? The sun will rise and the sun will set. People will get up in the morning, work, and go to sleep at night.

Democrats will have a Malthusian hissy fit. The sky is falling, we will run out of energy, the earth can't support all the people we are creating. The environment will collapse and species will die out. Trump is evil and the source of all evil. Republicans are evil and the source of all evil. Money is evil and the source of all evil, which is why the poor need to be given more money.

Global Warming? If we all believed it send some rockets into high earth orbit and contaminate the upper atmosphere with sunlight reflecting metal scraps to keep sunlight from reaching the earth.

Of course then we would have an ice age that would be blamed on political/environmental activists.

The world will do just fine without all this crap about climate change.

I think they are repeatedly saying that the sky is falling.

I have noticed it's been getting warmer in North Texas. Of course, it always gets warmer in Texas this time of year. Temperate months such as April, October, and November make up for July, August, and much of September.

My plants know what to do with the extra CO2 in the air, too.

That dripping sound is my heart bleeding for all those who invested in and trade in “carbon credits”.

This is a currency that has even less rationale than Bitcoin exchanges.

Carbon dioxide is STILL plant food. And plants grow, with or without the attention of mankind.

As far as temperatures go, the same thing happens if we stay in or leave: NOTHING measurable.

If we leave
* libs will produce a lot of hot air
* China will not get US money through the treaty’s required contributions to the global climate fund
* US electricity rates won’t have to rise because we try to support a treaty that does NOTHING
* Economic competitors will not see US manufacturing costs rise because of an increase in energy rates
* “Scientists” write more papers saying the US MAY increase temperatures by 0.3 degrees over 100 years. Other scientists find the calculations exaggerate warming and the increase is actually within the margin of error.

The last one already happened and pro-AGW scientists say 0.3 degrees impact the US may have over the next 100 years if we leave. Based on their assumptions and the 30+ year record of those assumptions, that is likely to be nothing measurable.

I’d like to see the weather channel do an honest article about what happens if we stay
* Trump set’s CO2 goals (which could be to get to 100% renewables or to triple China’s CO2 output. He’s living up to the agreement either way)
* Trump reports on progress toward goals (which could be “no progress” every time if our goal is “100 renewable energy” but is still living up to the agreement)
* We give $billions to the global climate fund. China gets some
* Liberals feel smug even though NOTHING happens to decrease CO2 or temps
* Communists see some success in harming developed countries with AGW agreements and keep trying. They will probably still keep trying if we leave but start from a step back

I like the study that said that the people who were more science literate worried less about man made climate change.

Anything from we all die in 10,000 years to we save trillions of dollars. I’ll take trillions of dollars.

Bears repeating, some people don't know that even though they see it in action every day.

Bottom line: Ivonka, Jarred and Tillerson rule ... not withdraw, but strengthen ...

And yes you will die ... someday.
