Heads are exploding today, get popcorn. Here are some of the best emotionaly based reactions from the climate alarmist squad.
Here’s billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer saying it’s a “traitorous act of war”. Yeah, right.
If Trump pulls the US out of the #ParisAgreement he will be committing a traitorous act of war against the American people. My statement: pic.twitter.com/Qjgxm4fELp

Neil Degrasse-Tyson thinks Trump is just too stupid.
If I and my advisors had never learned what Science is or how & why it works, then I’d consider pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord too.

Apparently, this is a Golden opportunity to play the race-card, according to the ACLU:

The mayor of Pittsburgh was apparently not happy that Trump said: “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.”

“However, withdrawing from the Paris treaty is an important symbolic move – a middle finger to the rest of the world, and to future generations. America is by far the largest historical contributor to climate change. Ironically, on the heels of Trump’s claim that most NATO members aren’t paying their fair share to the organization, America has announced that we won’t do our fair share to curb the climate change threats that we are the most responsible for.”
I’m trying to think of the threats
Sea level rise. Oh, wait, no. Polar bears. Oh, right, not that either. All of the world’s reefs destroyed. Oops! Increasing violence and numbers of storms. Uh. More devastating droughts? More flooding? Hotter nights? Colder winters? Longer summers? Earlier cherry blossoms? More colorful unicorn farts?
Nothing seems to fit. What are the threats? Please remind me.

There are still a lot more Papers in this topic. The truth can not be suppressed in the long run. People such as Scott Pruitt, Donald Trump, and Anthony Watts are very grateful for the identification of the lies of the global AGW community.
Watching the heads of all the bleeding hearts exploding on the BBC this morning was oh so much fun. Not one gave any sort of rational reason just so much feeeeeeelings on show!
Who said that us Brits don’t show our emotions lol.
James Bull
Steyers is the most reprehensible. His greed and scam are so naked that only an complete moron would not see it. Which means most of the left do not.
Musk on the other hand seems calm and rational about it. He threatened to quit if Trump pulled out. He seems to be honoring his promise.
Musk quitting?
‘Kay, bye!
Musk’s quitting isn’t calm and rational. It’s acting like a baby.
Agree or disagree, Musk made a threat and carried it out. His actions are honorable. His threat may not be.
I haven’t seen anyone link HIllary’s criticisms relating to scuttling the Paris Agreement to the emerging reports that she sought a separate plane from Michelle Obama to fly to Betty Ford’s funeral.
I don’t like “nit-picking” such things and perhaps I don’t understand normal practices for the top “movers and shakers”, but there seems to be a strong disconnect between personal actions and support for mandates from environmentally concerned elites. Unfortunately the mandates hit the less advantaged hard, yet nonetheless support of them in so many mindsets seems to be strongly tied to virtue and opposition to such are labelled as selfishness.

The reactions are perfectly understandable once you realize that by withdrawing from the accord, the US under Trump has committed Climate Apostasy — the refusal to submit to Gaia Law.
Here’s an interesting point… the reasons for withdrawl were all ‘economic’, and nowhere did Trump mention that the science was wrong/warming not occurring or give similar as a reason for withdrawl.
He even mentioned that reducing the CO2 would only reduce the temp increase a little… so he clearly accepts CO2 can cause a temp increase and it looks like he accepts the science (just doesn’t want to pay the bill for reducing CO2)
Well Griff, apparently no one feels like wasting any of their valuable time responding to your ranting, and chastising you for your dopey shenanigans.
Me either.
I will just say that, in response to your inane comment, please go back and read some responses to any of your posts from weeks and months past.
And read them well this time!
And then consider yourself chastised.
I can see why you never think before posting Griffie. Trump saying nothing about the science does not affirm the science! Only a religious nut would think that! Should he ever pontificate on it, then we can deduce his views on it. However, he is not a scientist, and does not play one on TV! He is a business man, and hence why he talked about the business end of the accord.
Just because I do not go around all the time saying I do not believe in ghosts does not mean I believe in them!
THINK!
Hi Griff, you’ve been on this site for how long now and are still this clueless?
The solution has always been ADAPTATION, not income redistribution and Draconic measures. Very few people believe there is no human effect, particularly on this site.
The irony is that your cronies are obsessed with calling him a “denier,” yet you suggest he doesn’t “deny” anything.
The cost will be about 100 trillion dollars and by the end of the century, the change in global temperature will be a decrease of about .03°
100 trillion .03 degrees, seems a bit excessive.
If we continue to decrease coal use and with natural gas increase, much cleaner energy source, and doing nothing else, the increase in global temperature by the end of the century will be about .001°. This is the math using the models represented at the conference in France.
The sound of Snowflakes melting in the US and across the globe is deafening.
Only if the models are correct, and they are -most likely- not. It’s common sense against panic. Common sense prevailed.
There is no joy in climate Mudville tonight!
America dodged a very big bullet on Nov 8.
Next step: Understanding why the ghg CO2 has no significant effect on climate.
Now divide up a huge parcel of Earth’s atmosphere into cubes of 2500 molecules, and realize that these “cubes” are pushed around as particles themselves in an equally huge (or more huge) fluid dynamic flow that transfers heat.
If I were a CO2 molecule, then I’d be saying, “Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” as I enjoyed the ride, even being so happy as to emit a tiny forced fart in this massive fluid flow. [What a commanding technical writing style he has !]
And that’s without any water vapor. Over much of the atmosphere, there would be 100 H2O molecules in the mix, doing the GHE heavy lifting.
Actually, the explanation of why the ghg CO2 has no significant effect on climate is that all absorbed energy is thermalized and the molecules exhibit/emit the energy (except for the absorbed energy which causes convection) according to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution which favors the lower energy bands of water vapor.

Vacuums IMplode.
Yabut, they’ve got all that green goo in there, and it has to go somewhere.
Trump’s U. S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is causing a lot more hot air to be expelled.
CONCLUSION: Whining causes global warming.
How’s the National Guard going dealing with the queues of panicked Hollywood types at the Canadian border? Do they have to pick odds and evens to ship half of them off across the Mexican border so they’re not being seen as xenophobic to the world looking on?
Moving to Canada instead of Mexico, or more precisely threatening to move to Canada instead of Mexico but not actually going anywhere…is not xenophobic.
Come on…get real.
It is racist!
Well I was just trying to identify with their feelings and offering them some safe space here without tossing around the R word cos that’s the type of guy I am 🙂
:In contrast to the outrageous comments noted above, try accessing Lawrence Solomon’s “rescued from Paris” and Terence Corcoran’s “good riddance to Globalism” in today’s Financial Post and Lomborg’s “A path Forward” in the Toronto Globe and Mail today – ironically across the page from Globe’s silly editrorial
Scott Pruitt was speaking at the daily press conference and he did a good job. A reporter asking Pruitt, claims that “NASA has said that 95% of the experts in this area around the world believe that the earth is warming”….. Did NASA actually say that?
The reporter goes on to say a little later in the same sentence , “you talk about climate exaggerators, it seems to a lot of people around the world that you and the president are just denying reality and the reality of the situation is that climate change is happening and is a significant threat to the planet”
The reporter just gave a perfect example of the exaggeration. He went from “95% of the experts in this area around the world believe that the earth is warming” to “climate change is happening and is a significant threat to the planet”.
He tired imply that NASA and 95% of the experts in this area around the world believe that climate change is happening and is a significant threat to the planet.
Meanwhile Macron has invited any and all Americans who are unhappy with Trump to relocate there, lectured Trump on his “error for the interests of his country, his people and a mistake for the future of our planet” and also called to “make the planet great again”:

“make the planet great again”
There’s no stopping these big vision types. Slaughterers of millions historically in the name of saving us all from something or other and leading us to the Promised Land.
Anthony – you’ve shared a list of posts of people who were unhappy with Trump’s decision. How about a list of folks that were pleased with the decision?
You only thought one reply was insane? They’re ALL insane. I’ve never in my life seen such a big deal made out of such an inconsequential decision. The only people it affects are those that won’t be receiving their scam-funding.
How is it that if one president can just sign us up for the Paris Agreement as an extension of a larger climate convention already ratified by the Senate that another president cannot just UNsign us up from that particular extension of a larger climate convention already ratified by the Senate ?
?raw=1
How about I proclaim that all countries of the world eat fewer Twinkies as a further step in carrying out the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. I mean, the Senate already ratified THAT treaty — I’m just tagging on the Twinkies thing as a specific measure of carrying out the Convention’s mission. What’s the damn problem?!
NOTE: For those readers outside the USA reading this, a Twinkie is a famous,commercially mass produced, American snack cake.
The Twinkies Protocol
… a historic move in uniting the world. It makes about as much sense as choosing carbon dioxide as the major demon to build the ideal of world cooperation (by battling a common foe). Isn’t it THIS ideal that is really causing all the insanity ?
Unite the world – great — good luck with that anyway — but choose Twinkies, NOT carbon dioxide.
That comment reminded me of the “Twinkie defense” in the Dan White murder case, where a former San Francisco Board of Supervisors blamed junk food for his murdering the Mayor and another Board member.
Beware the Tempestarii
In medieval lore, Tempestarii were weather making magicians who dwelt amongst the common people and possessed the power to raise or prevent storms at will. For this reason, anyone reputed as a weather-maker was the subject of respect, fear, and hatred in rural areas.
Perhaps the best known work on tempestarii was a 815 AD piece called “On Hail and Thunder” by a bishop, Agobard of Lyon.
Some describe it as a complaint of the irreligious beliefs of his flock, as villagers resented paying tithes to the church, but freely paid a form of insurance against storms to village tempestarii; but, it was also noted, whenever a supposed weather-maker failed to prevent a storm, he or she would generally suffer the wrath of the populace, being victimised or killed.
A closer examination of Agobard’s writing shows that he actually argues against the existence of weather-witches, but acquiesces that the saints of God are able to cause these things by praying with faith. He is more concerned with his flock’s misunderstanding that these “witches” are obtaining power from the devil, and subsequent eagerness to kill or curse anyone able to work miracles. His key argument is that anyone capable of “raising a gale” would be one who has faith in God, a Christian, not a witch, because witches are not able to do such things.
During the witch hunts the belief in witches who could raise storms was not limited to the Tempestarii. Depending on a witch’s preference, they were believed to cause tempests, hailstorms, and lightning. Witches struck homes and crops alike, sank ships, killed men and animals, and it was believed they took great delight in the process. Church authorities gave credence to the belief by stating that God permitted the Devil and witches to perform these acts as punishment for the wickedness of the world.
Since ancient times around the world, the ability to control elements—including the raising of storms and causing rain—has been attributed to magicians, shamans, sorcerers, and witches. As early as 700 A.D., the Catholic Church prosecuted sorcerers for causing storms.
The most famous storm believed to be caused by witches was recorded in 1591 during the North Berwick Witch Trials. John Fian and his alleged coven of witches were accused of raising a sea storm to drown James VI and Queen Anne on their way from Denmark.
…and…beware the “sue and settle” people. When will Trump be sued for doing this Paris thing? Meanwhile, CAGW has caused gophers to eat my onion starts and a tomato plant.
NGT was on the Jim and Sam Show a few weeks ago. I didn’t hear all of it and missed any bits revolving around climate change (if there were any). I heard mostly astrophysics and UFO stuff. He was personable and played well with the hosts.
At the very end of the show, they brought up Bill Nye. Apparently, if you revisit old “Bill Nye the Science Guy” episodes on Netflix, there is an episode where they removed Bill Nye talking about X and Y chromosomes and the determination of sex. NGT both defended Nye and played dumb, saying, “Oh, well maybe the science behind it has changed since then…”
It’s not science. It’s politics.
Dear World,
Sing it! It’s the end of the world as we know it! LOL
This is entertaining, and has to be listened to to appreciate. On NPR’s Morning Edition they interviewed Richard Branson, head of Virgin Group, can’t articulate any answer with details about why we should stay in the Agreement.
