Via Breitbart: Despite heavy lobbying from G7 leaders, President Donald Trump declined to endorse the Paris Climate Agreement in a joint pledge of support for one of former President Barack Obama’s signature achievements in office.
Trump’s decision upset world leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel, desperate to convince the president of the agreement’s merits.
“The Paris deal isn’t just any other deal. It is a key agreement that shapes today’s globalization,” Merkel said, describing discussions with Trump about climate change “very unsatisfying.”
For opponents of the agreement, the decision is a welcome development after the president’s economic adviser, Gary Cohn, told reporters that Trump was “evolving” on the issue. But it still was not a fulfillment of his campaign promise to withdraw the United States from the Paris agreement.
The president announced on Twitter that he would make the decision next week of whether to remain in the agreement.
I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week!

Either President Trump pulls out of the “Paris Accord” or it’s “Lying Donald Trump” ever after !!
Pretty much!
No, belatedly the exit is here. He deserves credit but I fear the scale of the social conflict is understated by the seriousness he granted climate advocates and crony interests such as Tillerson and co..
Does he follow up with the full dismantling of the UN climate collective “protocol”? If not the monster just retreats to the academic and media cave, to the EU, The People’s Republic of NY and Kalifornia to plan again.
There should be no mercy or rest. The Greenshirts should remain a primary target straight through 2020 and beyond.
Remember the lesson of Hannibal (the original one);
At Cannae in about two hours 60k Romans lay dead, a death rate not matched until the Battle of the Somme 2000 years later. Still about 10k escaped lead in part by the person who would later win the war for the Romans Publius Scipio Afrucanus. There was every opportunity pursue and finish the remaining army that would later be exiled to Spain and reverse the wars fortune. There was a political thought of mercy and reconciliation for peace in the decision not to pursue the defeated survivors. Perhaps changing the outcome of the war. These were the youngest and most fit in the front line if you’re familiar with the battles design.
Failure to follow up on the climate cabal and completely discredit it would be of a similar failure. The UN climate authority must be destroyed completely or this sad post Soviet failure will only be repeated or worse. How Reagan and Thatcher permitted the monster to form was one of their greatest failures but in part driven by naivety that simply can’t exist today. All of Marxist/Green appeasement of the Bush terms couldn’t be estimated as well.
Enjoy the Paris win, potentially huge if the backlash is properly crushed as well. DJT has no specific Greenshirt political annihilation policy and pursued the overly benevolent economics only talking point that can still land future generations in leftist academic hellhole reeducation camps called public schools and university life worse then today’s. The demise of climate fraud should be central to overthrowing the entire PC culture that dragged science through the gutter the past 50+ years. Paris is a step along the road either way. The President deserves credit even if I regret the implied moderation he has shown and believe he will rue the day as Hannibal must have as well. Expect a media onslaught that will dwarf the post election usurping and Russian blather combined.
Many commenters like the idea of passing the exit from the Parasite Accord onto the Senate to be quashed by vote. We all know this is a dangerous idea. A large number of GOP senators are swamp creatures and are not to be trusted. They have shown this in their uselessness in the Obamacare affair. Lindsey Graham has recently advised he would stay in the agreement and he’s not alone. There’s about 20 drones that are not really Republican at all. They are dinosaurs from an earlier century.
1+
The Senate circus would have worked both ways which is why Obama avoided it as well. The Republic was usurped but that’s the standard they choose to live by.
The Senate is dysfunctional as you say. Unwinding the entire UN Climate authority will require them. I’m not sure at all they are up to the task and Paris backlash will be huge.
Plenty more climate war in front of us.
“Shapes the globalization”. Even if CO2 were the evil pollutant it is claimed to be, the phrase “shapes the globalization” would be enough to disassociate from the Paris “Agreement”.
No more windturbines on land.
They make noise. Noise damage health.
There are no guarante that noise from windturbines dont damage health.
They also spoil nature.
Let people live. Kill windturbines.
Please Mr. Præsident.
The Paris climate accord, also called the Central agreement for shaping globalization, a Limerick.
Will Trump sign the Paris accord?
A folly we cannot afford.
CO2, source of life,
lessens hunger and strife.
Will globalists fall on their sword? https://lenbilen.com/2017/05/28/the-paris-climate-accord-also-called-the-central-agreement-for-shaping-globalization-a-limerick/
It is a tricky subject. The US is asked to sign up to wealth distribution, as it puts itself at a competitive disadvantage, in the hopes that those developing companies will then honour a non legally binding agreement to follow through in the 2030s. The US should just carry on as it was (reducing its CO2, while other countries were increasing) and not doing more than that until other countries are ready to sign something binding that takes place immediately.

The knee jerk Russian conspiracy meme of course. I expect the call for riots (peaceful protests as they like to call them) very soon.
That page says in part:
Odd, a UN page, updated fairly recently, says “147 Parties have ratified of 197 Parties to the Convention.”
The US “accepted” the agreement on “3 Sep 2016 (A)” (“A” for “acceptance,” “AA” for “approval,” no embellishment for “ratification.”)
Suggestion: Let’s change the name of the Green Climate Fund to the Green Slime Fund.
Really, it makes little sense. What’s wrong with people?! How can the State Department just give away U.S. money to such a venture that is a calculated failure? It’s robbery, I say.
Do the math!
Pull the plug!
The Paris Accord is trash. Talk about pollution!
It would be nice if we could get back the two $500 million payments Obama made to the commitments in that non-treaty.
E.g. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/18/barack-obama-transfers-500m-to-green-climate-fund-in-attempt-to-protect-paris-deal says in part:

One concern is that Trump says that climate change is a Chinese plot. This is nonsense. What else does he get wrong? I get worried when people do the right thing for the wrong reason.
