The 'Trump effect' is slowing international progress on climate change, think tank warns
CNBC ^ | December 3, 2018 | by Chloe Taylor

A so-called "Trump effect" is damaging global progress on climate change by harming international diplomacy, according to a report published Monday.

The report from the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA) considered the impact President Donald Trump was having on the objectives of the Paris Agreement. Drafted in 2015, the agreement set out targets for international economies to work towards in order to reduce carbon emissions.

Joseph Curtin, senior fellow at the IIEA and the author of the report, said the Trump administration's policies were stalling progress towards those targets.

"The 'Trump effect' has created a powerful countervailing force acting against the momentum (the Paris Agreement) hoped to generate," he said in the report.

Curtin noted three key areas where the Trump effect had "applied a brake" to the worldwide movement. He said federal rollbacks were increasing the attractiveness of fossil fuel investments; U.S. withdrawal from the agreement had created moral and political cover for other nations to follow suit; and goodwill at international negotiations was being damaged.

Who owns cars? The Po? Who owns Homes? The Po? Who travel? The Po? Hell no, it’s the Middle Class and that’s who the 1 Worlders are trying to put out of business. But note! Who owns Guns like $1K ARs? The Po? Hell no it’s the US middle class so the Democrats best realize they won’t Dis-Arm US Middle Class like the 1 Worlders did to the Middle Class everywhere else in the World:-)

“Progress on climate change” will only occur when the “changists” are thrown out of their positions and ridiculed. These anti-science losers and grant-pursuers are useful idiots for the fascists who want to take your Freedom..

A little bit about the IIEA:

“The Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA) is an Irish policy think tank and EU advocacy group based in Dublin, Ireland. The IIEA is mostly funded by the Irish State and Irish State–owned entities, and its leadership, Chairperson and Director-General, have mostly come from Irish political or Irish State department backgrounds. It is known for its seminars and speaking events in Dublin which have attracted notable international figures.

“A June 1996 Irish Times article notes that the Institute of European Affairs (IEA) was set up in 1989 by Brendan Halligan, the former General Secretary of the Irish Labour Party, and that the financial backing came from Irish semi–state bodies, and particular those on which Halligan was a Board member; the article also notes that the IEA rented a house on 8 North Great George’s Street of which Halligan was a part owner.[1] A subsequent Irish Times article in January 2000 stated that the IEA was formally set up by Halligan in 1991,[2] and described Halligan as “a powerful European tobacco lobbyist”, and that the IEA was associated with Halligan’s political consulting and lobbying firm, Consultants in Public Affairs (CIPA).[2]

‘the Institute of International and European Affairs’ (IIEA) *-??

The Institute of International and European Affairs is Ireland’s leading think tank on European and International affairs. It is an independent, not-for-profit organisation with charitable status. Its aim is to provide a forum for those with an interest in strategic planning in Irish Foreign and EU policy, and to evaluate and disseminate strategic policy options in these areas.

ABOUT US
https://www.iiea.com/iiea-about-us/

The IIEA is Ireland’s leading European & International Affairs think tank. We are an independent, not-for-profit organisation with charitable status.

Our role is to identify key European and international policy trends, which will inform the work of Ireland’s decision makers and business leaders, and enrich the public debate on Ireland’s role in the EU and on the global stage.


They ought pay attention to the trend in France.. yellow vests rioting, graffiti on the Champs Elyses, hundreds of cars burnt.. all of which gets minimal coverage for some reason..

Take note of that, ay, IIEA.
