CEI Releases Ad Urging Trump to Withdraw from Paris Climate Treaty

April 18, 2017 WASHINGTON — Today, White House senior advisers are scheduled to meet about the future of U.S. involvement in the Paris Climate Treaty, even though President Trump made a campaign promise to cancel the agreement. Since December 2015, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) has made the constitutional, political, economic, and moral case against the Paris Climate Treaty. This morning, CEI launched an online ad and petition asking President Trump to keep his promise and withdraw the United States from this harmful agreement.

Director of CEI’s Center for Energy and Environment, Myron Ebell, said:

“The Paris Climate Treaty requires the United States to make drastic cuts in fossil fuel energy use by 2025, which will raise energy prices and slow economic recovery from our decade-long slump. It also requires us to submit more ambitious commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions every five years,” said Ebell. “Failure to withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty will make President Trump’s plans to undo Obama’s climate agenda vulnerable to legal challenges. The President should not listen to Washington’s Swamp, but rather keep his campaign promise to get the United States out of the Paris Climate Treaty and send it to the Senate for a vote.”

Trump will not pull out. Tillerson is still an oil man wanting to sell natural gas, at the expense of coal. (Less carbon).

Avanka thinks Al Gore is an expert. She is a warmist.

No way, no how, can Trump pull out of the Paris accord.

Tillerson was quoted yesterday as saying it’s time to pull out.
Secondly Tillerson no longer has any financial ties to the oil industry.

Sorry, that was Pruit, not Tillerson.
The second point still stands.

I agree that stating we/US officially withdraws from the treaty gives it unwarranted credence that we were ever part of it to begin with. We need to borrow some slime ball verbiage from the alarmists that disconnects the US from any involvement in all Climate agreements period. Something that unequivocally separates the US from the scam without calling it as such and denounces the politics being used in place of science.

Trump must keep his promise and refuse adherence to Obama’s farcical Executive Paris POS.

It was not affirmed by the Senate, so there is absolutely no legal nor Constitutional obligation to pay one dime on this non-binding POS.

I just hope Ivanka doesn’t pressure daddy to change his mind, as she is a CAGW advocate and has substantial influence.

At the House climate hearing the audience was shown a graph of computer model output with a completely wrong climate prediction. It was not one of a kind item but one of many worthless computer outputs we get from the computer modeling section. Yet there was not one person there to call for cancellation of a program costing billions which consistently produces wrong climate predictions to deceive the public. Do the honorable members of the House not care that false information about climate has been and still is being outputted by this climate modeling ptogram? Did they have any thoughts about the meaning of that display shown to them? A scientist who knows that a machine has been producing wrong information for years will quickly drop it. But these charlatans won’t quit.. Somehow they have been drawing high salrties for years, are protected from being accountable for what they do, and their junk science is published in journals.

This is off-topic, but I think it would be of general interest to all readers.

It appears that there may be a fairly smiple way to repair old, tired hearts and make them new again.

A British heart transplant surgeon has been able to insert a Left Ventricle Assist (LVA) heart pump into severely sick heart patients, give them high doses of heart repairing drugs (which could not be given without using the LVA) and these very sick patients wore these heart pumps for from six months to 18 months, and then they were removed, and the patients hearts had healed themselves to the point that these patients had the same heart function as a perfectly healthy person of their age.

Formula: Wear an LVA for six to 18 months. High doses of heart repairing drugs. Have it removed: Resume your normal, healthy life. What’s not to like. If I had heart trouble, I would be asking my heart doctor for an LVA. The British heart doctor is looking for new test subjects and wants to do it internationally.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-137599/The-heart-pump-saves-lives.html

“The world-renowned heart transplant surgeon Sir Magdi Yacoub, who is heading a UK research programme, predicts artificial heart pumps will eventually become an alternative form of treatment for patients needing transplants.”. . .

“Sir Magdi said: ‘I’ve been working for 35 years and this is the most exciting thing I’ve seen in my whole career. You have someone who’s so sick he is emaciated, then you have him running in the park, playing football, or whatever.'”

Almost 100 days now I wouldn’t think it would take this long to get away from any climate agreements, but it’s not the only promise that he has neglected, like the great wall, the world peace by staying out of Syria, these are just some signs that Trump was either clueless before being elected or just plain liar.
