A Fox News reporter today added up all the things Hillary blamed for her loss and it came to 24 different things! I guess we can add climate change to that list. And she might be right about climate change. A lot of people voted for Trump because of that issue.

The government has been fighting ISIS there for some time.
Eleven soldiers were killed in a “friendly fire” air strike incident today.

It’s in the 80s in D.C. this afternoon. He’s letting the media sit around in the sun so they are well cooked before the announcement.

always so frustrating

Watching Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith on Fox News. They sound like CNN commentators. They should have a look at paleo-climatilogical ice core data which shows that when our planet warms, the warming comes first and then the CO2 rises as a result of the warming. The time lag after the warming comes to when CO2 rises is sometimes 600 to 800 years. This data shows the any rise of CO2 is the result of the warming, not causal of the warming.

Nah, Janice, this is good.
He’s just told China, India and Europe to f*ck off until they can come back with a proper climate agreement, which they never can.
It’s not going to happen.

I appreciate your trying to cheer me up, S. W. Bob, but, I just can’t feel good about being told:
“Okay, family, I’m doing what is best for you, we’re leaving this malaria infested swamp. We’re going to move to a lovely place near the sea where we will live in —–
a tent.
Because we are likely to not be staying there —- I’m planning to talk to the guys down at the swamp; if we can negotiate for air-conditioning in our hut, this time (and indoor plumbing, too!) we’re going back.”
Sounds GREAT, Dad.
NOT!

Janice,
It seems to me Dad said we’ll be moving back . . as soon as it’s not a swamp ; )
Seriously, I don’t think taking on the role of science debater would do much but serve the desires of the mass media armed alarmists, and, in a sense, I think he may be expressing his confidence in folks like those who take them on here . . who seem to me to have done a damn good job of keeping the “settled science” label from sticking.

I read on Snopes that he can’t get out of UNFCCC until 2020 because it was ratified by the Senate.

IMO he could leave the UNF CCCP before then with Senate approval.

Hi, Harry,
It was HORRIBLE. He started off talking a bit about the !slam1c terrorism in the Philippines. Then, he listed some of the good things accomplished (e.g., over $350 billion in business contracts) during his recent trip abroad.
Then, 🙁 he said that he was taking us out of the Paris climate agreement, but will be negotiating to get back in on better terms for the U.S..
He did not qualify that. Just (paraphrase) “out, but, back in if the terms are right.”
So, essentially: “CO2 is a serious issue that we have to deal with, I just don’t like the deal we got in Paris in 2015.”
HORRIBLE!!!!
Waaaa — sorry, but, I am so disappointed.
It is still livestreaming right now, but, later watch the same video here on youtube (the channel called “President Trump”): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfyW3Nw6poE6V04jhMdflag
I like this channel for they post the entire video of events, not just a 3 or 10 minutes soundbite.
You will find the remarks you asked about within the first 10 minutes.
Sure glad I ate my lunch before I watched that. I have no appetite, now.
Your WUWT ally,
Janice

Thank you, Janice. I understand your lack of appetite. However DJT is a supreme deal-maker and when he makes such a statement about ‘renegotiating’ I believe he is working on a ‘position’ – finessing his opposition. The left/green faction knows that he knows they are a busted flush: they are trying to protect their income stream, no the planet.

Thanks for the encouragement to keep hoping, Harry. I guess I’m just in a bad head space about life in general… or something… . I will keep my mouth shut (not that you asked that) and my eyes open, from now on. 🙂

Janice,
your President has just told the world that his country will do business their way.
If anyone cares to contest that, they are welcome to come up with an alternative.
They won’t because they couldn’t organise a f*ck in a brothel (excuse the analogy please, I seem to recall you are religious) and will come back with nothing of substance.
Your president has just told the world, in plain language, which makes a change from the grand speeches of most politicians no one can understand, that Janice Moore is at the heart of America’s future.
It will be ripped apart tonight (your time) by the green and leftist media. It will be analysed and examined in inconsequential inute detail by the elite intellectuals. But the message was clear, and repeated. Trump is doing business for America and no one else. And he did say it, thats his sworn responsibility.
That was a speech that, above everything else said, f*uck you lot, It’s America’s way, or the highway. We’ll build a an economic machine with, or without you. It’s your choice.
What’s more, he has the economic clout, the intellectual facilities, the physical brawn, and the natural enthusiasm and work ethic of Americans to do it.
This speech had nothing to do with the Paris Accord.
This was a Churchillian speech of motivation and encouragement to America, and as a Brit, I thought it was brilliant.
Nor did I ever think I would say that of Trump.

The Paris Accord is not about the climate it is about a redistribution of wealth.

Trump knows China will never participate in a ‘fair’ climate change accord, hence NO renegotiated fair accord is possible. The offer to renegotiate is a canard only….

Indeed. France, Germany and Italy have already taken the bait : “No renegotiation!”
They can’t say that he didn’t offer it.
In fact, THEY are the ones who are shutting the US out.

When was the last time we heard any politician stated quite as clearly that their President/Prime Minister backed their own country as Trump has, instead of giving away everything, crippling their own country?
