So again I ask, why do we need to be in the Paris Accord whose only real purpose is to suck “climate reparations” from US Citizens? It’s really a non-enforceable agreement as the world points its finger at the US and says “pay up”!
Emissions
Massachusetts Climate Change Apparatchik Says the Quiet Part Out Loud.
It’s instructive when a bureaucrat says, “I can’t even say this publicly.” That is exactly the sort of thing that the people who pay his salary (you folks) need to hear. So, it’s lucky for us it was recorded so that we can share it.
Notable Quote or DISQUS Doodling – Vindaloo Bugaboo
Commenter Vindaloo Bugaboo (VB) nails the imperative question at TreeHugger leaving little wiggle room, which makes the Renewable Energy types howl, scream, and break Godwin’s Law. VB took all of the posts at Tree Hugger and wrapped it up into a single question that ANY Conservative should be asking:
Is Vermont’s Zero Emissions Strategy Worse for the Environment Than Doing Nothing?
Vermont Governor Phil Scott (D – Registered as a Republican) has an announcement. He is appeasing the idiot Left by “joining 15 states and the District of Columbia in a push to electrify buses and trucks.” Electric shock therapy might be better because these vehicles are worse for emissions, not better.
Great News: America Still Leads the World in (Meaningless) CO2 Emissions Reductions
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 Saint Greta Wants This (lowering CO2 Emissions) Done Now, She Needs to go to India and China
Grumpy Greta has been peddling her apocalyptic Muppet act in the halls of the western world. But as one historian notes, 60% of all emissions since her birth came out of China. It is by far the world’s biggest polluter, followed by India. If the planet is at a tipping point, she needs to talk to them.
Data Point – CO2 emissions: who loves us, baby!
Certainly not the rest of the world that seemingly looks to government to solve their problems. Here in the US, we look to ourselves and the entrepreunerial and innovative frackers that have unleashed technology to spring God’s energy gift, natural gas, to us are to be thanked – they’ve made it possible to lead the … Read more
Data Point – Remember that Paris Accord that was never a treaty or an agreement?
Trump rightfully tossed it onto the ash heap of Obama’s “Arc of History” – it rightfully belongs there because it had no worth. 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 is there when only a President signs an “agreement”? Nothing – the next President can do exactly what Trump did. Obama was lazy – relying on Executive Orders and bureaucratic rulemaking which meant it could be done away with a flourish of a pen.
