Trump not invited to Paris December climate change summit for now, says France

PARIS (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump, who pulled his country out of the 2015 Paris climate change deal, is “for the time being” not invited to a climate change summit due to be held in the French capital in December, an official in President Emmanuel Macron’s office said.

…

The United States would still be invited to the summit but at a lower level than the president, added the official.

President Macron of France, who once bizarrely stated he would “govern like a Roman God”, who also according to his officials believes that his thought processes are too complex for mere journalists to understand, no doubt considers the provisional banishing of President Trump from his presence to be a devastating rebuke for the Trump Administration’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.

Yet again it’s up to America to save the Old World from its insane -isms.

We did our bit against monarchism, saved the world from both fascism and communism, and now we’re showing the way forward against climatism, which is just a stalking horse for globalist socialism.

This year, it’s just the US. But in coming years, more and more states will see the light, wake up, embrace reality and CO2 as the planetary savior.

“…who also according to his officials believes that his thought processes are too complex for mere journalists to understand,…” and if journalists cannot understand then who can?
Wow, does anyone in France realize that he is so smart he must be the ‘annointed one’? Obviously way to smart to be allowed to be president any longer than necessary. Has he met Obama?

It will come as an immense relief to President Trump to find that he was not Invited to the December Paris Climate Change Summit, as it will allow him a lot more time to get on with much more important matters.

“Trump not invited to Paris December climate change summit for now, says France”

A compliment of the highest order.

Who cares? It’s nothing more than an unneeded ‘Chicken Little’ Conference anyway. Macron is one odd duck…he is self-destructing already. I know, the US should send Tom Sater from CNN International…he’s great entertainment! Just watched him ‘meltdown’ describing CC/GW ‘hottest years-ever’ and the worst is yet to come due to CO2…he is truly ‘unbalanced’, more like ‘unhinged’.

It is notable that the consensus fails again to be open to challenge or discussion, by excluding the nation that
is needed to pay for the carbon fund and redistribute its wealth.
If he came Trump would repeat what he told the American people.
‘As President, I can put no other consideration before the wellbeing of American citizens. The Paris Climate Accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers — who I love — and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production.
Thus, as of today, the United States will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country. This includes ending the implementation of the nationally determined contribution and, very importantly, the Green Climate Fund which is costing the United States a vast fortune.
Compliance with the terms of the Paris Accord and the onerous energy restrictions it has placed on the United States could cost America as much as 2.7 million lost jobs by 2025 according to the National Economic Research Associates. This includes 440,000 fewer manufacturing jobs — not what we need — believe me, this is not what we need — including automobile jobs, and the further decimation of vital American industries on which countless communities rely. They rely for so much, and we would be giving them so little.
According to this same study, by 2040, compliance with the commitments put into place by the previous administration would cut production for the following sectors: paper down 12 percent; cement down 23 percent; iron and steel down 38 percent; coal — and I happen to love the coal miners — down 86 percent; natural gas down 31 percent. The cost to the economy at this time would be close to $3 trillion in lost GDP and 6.5 million industrial jobs, while households would have $7,000 less income and, in many cases, much worse than that.’
‘China will be allowed to build hundreds of additional coal plants. So we can’t build the plants, but they can, according to this agreement. India will be allowed to double its coal production by 2020. Think of it: India can double their coal production. We’re supposed to get rid of ours. Even Europe is allowed to continue construction of coal plants.
In short, the agreement doesn’t eliminate coal jobs, it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United States, and ships them to foreign countries.’

So no job is lost, it just moves somewhere else.
I doubt they would let him say this to the people of Europe, who are going the same road.
They may revolt.

CAGW is simply a Leftist tool that’s exploited to destroy free-market economies and limited government societies…

Trump not being invited to the Paris “Socialists-of-the-World-Unite!” Summit is a badge of honor that should be celebrated.

Goodness me, what a self absorbed little megalomaniac Macron is. As if Trump didn’t already operate on the “don’t call us, we’ll call you basis” with respect to France

Perhaps all world leaders should uninvite themselves to save the massive CO2 emissions incurred by their travel entourage, that is if they really believed that CO2 is a planetary emergency.

And as message to Macron, I think President Trump should send the White House Head Janitor to represent the US at the climate change summit.

“The United States would still be invited to the summit but at a lower level than the president, added the official.”
Maybe Donald can send Melania (although she probably ranks higher in his household). She might like a shopping trip to Paris.

Today, America. Tomorrow, the world will be freed from the CACA delusion, which has cost a hundred million lives and ten trillion dollars. Ranks right up there with Communism, but in fewer decades.

This puts me in mind of that famous Gourcho Marx quotation:

“I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.”

P.S. Of course, the exact wording is in dispute, http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/04/18/groucho-resigns/ but it seems appropriate for this year’s Climate Shrimp-Fest.

“Trump not invited to Paris December climate change summit for now, says France”

Isn’t that sweet!? That nice man just promised to pay all the bills.
The USA doesn’t need to feel the least bit guilty for pulling the financial plug on the CO2 scam. Now, that Macaroon promises to pay all the civilized world’s global bills.
Get in line China, India, Pakistan and Syria; Macron is paying the bills!
Surely any country that promises $1 million Euro for climate scientists will pay more than that for dutiful Paris members volunteers. Volunteers can pretend they’re cutting CO2 back at home, enabling them to claim more climate cash from France.

Good. The US is suppose to be the main sacrificial lamb in all of this. Without the US the whole thing will fold even faster.

World leaders can go ahead and treat President Trump like Galileo on the climate change issue. Galileo turned out to be right.

There just mad cause he’s not paying for it.

Looks like Paris is becoming a ‘no-go zone’ for reality also.
Oh the humanity…..

I heard the name “Macron” when he was running for office. I knew I had heard that name before, but I could not place it.
Finally I remembered:comment image

The French president may not be what he appears.

It was bad enough that the US pulled out of the Paris accord. To add insult to injury, the US delegation to COP23 brought along speakers to promote coal and nuclear.
It does have a bit of “theater of the absurd” around it.
No wonder the invitations stopped coming.
