With exceptions for the COIVID lockdown, the US has had a booming economy for several years. Even now, it outranks other western nations. We’re also a leader in fossil fuel production, GDP, and (drumroll) reducing Green House Gas Emissions. This, according to the UN, of all things.
One of the dirty little secrets from the Obama years was that the Paris Climate Discord was never ratified. The Bamster signed an Executive Order (EO), but the Senate never signed on to the plan. Mr. Trump, with a dueling EO, undid Barry’s gesture, but Biden Joe has re-upped the non-treaty-treaty vaporware.
The Climate Cult made CO2 a dragon to be slain. But CO2 is not a greenhouse gas. It is not a pollutant in our atmosphere. It’s plant food. If you accept that Donald Trump is your affordable energy hero. Even if you refuse to accept that, Donald Trump is still your energy emissions hero.
If you are indifferent to the goals of the Greens, you are in for a rude awakening. The American Left’s Green New Deal (GND) really would have a catastrophic effect on our incomes and lifestyles. Don’t believe me? Exhibit One: a UK court just blocked a runway project at Heathrow Airport in London.
I’m not going to pretend that I get the nuance of the politics in France. But President Macron has instituted some new fuel taxes to save the planet, and a growing movement has risen to protest those taxes. This is, of course, France. I can recall any number of times in my life when I’ve …

Certainly not the rest of the world that seemingly looks to government to solve their problems.

Obama, like many other actions he took during his Presidency, only wanted to be seen as doing something rather than actually doing something and the Paris Accord belongs in it. What worth …

Words are just hot air in this regard. That’s what they all have. We, on the other hand, have results: Just eyeballing it here but it seems we’ve reduced our CO2 emissions by more than the rest of them combined. (H/T: NewsBusters)
The Paris Climate Agreement is a paper tiger everyone raced to embrace, not because it would do something but because it could be sold as appearing to do something; with ample sides of fawning press coverage, photo ops, and the domestic burnishing of the “slightly” tarnished legacy of a man-child president. But all that hype and …
IPCC Admits Paris Agreement Isn’t Going to Do What they Said Read More »
From the EU to California to Nashua and Portsmouth, New Hampshire, politicians and pundits are promising to keep the Paris Agreement alive despite President Trump’s exit. But what does that actually mean? It depends. If you’re Turkey, it means you expect bitter Paris Accord clingers to write you a check to pay for the cost of compliance. If …
