Heh. Fake News.

Do you think these CEOs and States are going to do anything more than put in a few LED lightbulbs and solar panels?

Will then send trillions of dollars to other countries? Doubtful.

Will they outsource millions of jobs to third world countries? Doubtful.

These state and corporate show-boats are all sound-bytes.

This is nothing more than virtue signaling. Cities are always strapped for cash and there's zero chance they're going to take millions out of their coffers.

Can you imagine if the situation was reversed and Trump was attempting to influence the entire manufacturing sectors of foreign nations worldwide to benefit only Americans?

If it was about carbon emissions, Europe would negotiate. But it's not.

What it's really about is balancing/downsizing living standards to prepare citizens to accept a world government. China has the best part of the deal because their people are cowed/controlled either way and the Chinese elites are expected to be the philosophical and political centrifuge for the global slave state they are salivating for.

Thank you President Trump for shitting on their momentum.

“China and Europe have demonstrated solidarity with future generations and responsibility for the whole planet,” Tusk added, in reference to a joint EU-China statement that vowed to “step up” efforts on global warming, including the raising of $100bn a year by 2020 to help poorer countries cut emissions.

Ironic being that china has one of the most polluted places on this earth.

Fuck this Paris agreement, no one ever asked us, the people, if we wanted this. This is not about the planet or democracy but the erosion of democracy.

I view this as a win-win-win

Win - Trump did the right thing in bringing to light the inequity of the Paris Accord and rejecting it.

Win - Trump can absolve himself of any bad decisions connected to the Paris Accord.

Win - Individual states are deciding to take their own measures for green energy and reducing carbon footprint.

It's kind of genius really.

You can't renegotiate agreements like these every 4-8 years. I agree it was a bad agreement, for the US but expecting the other parties to renegotiate is folly. It would open the door to renegotiate every international agreement, every time there was an election somewhere.
