French President Climate Clown Emmanuel Macron has demanded green trade tariffs be raised against countries which do no share the EU’s climate goals.
Emmanuel Macron vows to replace every dollar Donald Trump withdraws from climate change efforts
French President says France will step in to maintain funding for major international panel

Emmanuel Macron has vowed to replace every dollar that is withdrawn from the UN’s climate change programme by Donald Trump.
The French President told a UN climate summit in Bonn, Germany, that France would step in to cover the cost of US contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that Mr Trump has said he will withdraw.
“I can guarantee that, starting in 2018, the IPCC will have all the money it needs and will continue to support our decision-making,” he said. “It will not miss a single euro.”
…
The US currently contributes around €2 million (£1.8 million) a year to the IPCC.
However, Mr Trump has pledged to pull the US out of the 2015 Paris Agreement and other international climate change initiatives. He also plans to promote coal and other fossil fuel industries.
In his speech, Mr Macron also called for an EU tariff on goods imported from countries or companies that do not share its climate goals, and pledged to work to raise the cost of carbon within the EU to €30 a tonne.
…
According to EU documents, in 2016 a total of €610 billion (US $710 billion) worth of goods was traded between the USA and Europe, generating €114 billion (US $134 billion) trade surplus for Europe.
Punitive green trade tariffs would undermine the financial stability of millions of people on both sides of the Atlantic.
Gee, isn’t this the guy who Trump crushed his hand on camera, after the guy tried to give him a ‘man-shake’?
“It will not miss a single euro.”
Aye, there’s the rub. The US presumably pays in dollars.
Ugh the EU, where a French fool who married his pedo and has some twisted mommy issues, says “I will spend Europe into the poor house to make up for the lack of US funds”
Yep, a very strange definite puppet with some serious closet issues can decide what is spent by EU member states on muh climate change
Fortunately the US has never and never will have any influence on what the EU does. It has also been very effective in restricting US firm’s trade monopolies, unfair trading practices and tax evasion on European territory. And long may it continue to do so!
Yep, I surely hope that the USA decides to let the EU go on its own.
No more unwanted monetary support.
No more USA defense support.
Wouldn’t you agree , little socialist worm ?
Jesus you sceptics are dumb sometimes.
So now everyone who supports the EU is a ‘socialist worm’. You have no f#####g idea what the EU has done for Europe because you have never even been here.
US monetary support for the EU? What the f##k are you talking about now? What monetary support?
And,) the EU is a totally separate organisation from NATO so why are you bringing in NATO? I strongly suggest you stick to banging your climate sceptic drum…
Wow, you socialists are totally brain-washed and divorce from REALITY, aren’t you. !
Its very obvious what the far-left totalitarian socialist are doing and trying to do to the EU.
Conquest, without war. A mindless united BORG.. as you keep illustrating.
Good luck once USA decides enough is enough, and the EU has to cope by itself on the defense front.
You know.. actually fund and look after its own region. !
That is what all the screeching and yelping is about..
WITHDRAWAL OF USA FINANCIAL SUPPORT. 🙂
Well done Mr Trump..
…you have sounded the alarm that might just wake up some of the EU population to the socialist worms have infested it… yes.. you are one of those, Ivan.
OK. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about and just spouting some mindless slogans. And of our discussion.
Poor ivan, you really are struggling to day, aren’t you.
Which country are you in ivan? (dare you even answer)
How will your country cope when the EU takes over completely and you have nothing to offer?
What the f@ur momisugly#k are you talking about? I a English living in Poland. Poland has been transformed by EU funding you moron. New roads, infrastructure, towns modernised, schools improved. You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about…
The EU is fast becoming the soviet union 😉 The EU commission is the Politburo, no one elects these fools, led by a raging alcoholic, Junker.
They all hide their money in Luxembourg now, a tax dodging scheme set up by Junker for bought and paid for EU politicians to avoid silly austerity and taxes
All the lesser completely inert MEPs are bought off by an extra pension and expenses, and of course, nice travel and hotels traveling around Europe.
As for Marcon, this guy is [pruned, .mod]
See what I mean

Mummy, talking at an errant little child !!
On Trump one year in. My initial misgivings mainly on style points have been borne out. It’s a bit of a goat show people. This is what a rock thrown through the consensus establishment world view looks like. I have no regrets. Climate crap is the hallmark of an arrogant corrupt elite at war with the people . Trump has given us a punchers chance. It is not pretty and often painful to see. During the American Civil War it was whispered into Lincolns ear that Grant was a drunk. He is reported to have replied “tell me his brand and I will send him a case” and “I need this man. He fights” Trump says he doesn’t drink alcohol but he does fight. We can take that one year in.
Actually the EU is scared shitless at the idea of the US keeping its domestic energy costs low while the EU’s continues to rse under misguided policies.
The Green scam on the Western economies only works if everyone plays pretend like climate change is a problem.
Bollocks. The EU is not scared shitless by anything that the US does – stop talking tripe. Plus, the US needs the EU economies doing well just as vice versa. It’s f*****g basic economics.
roflmao..
poor little socialist ivan.. DESPERATION suits you … 🙂
Its how you are destine to live your life.
If they aren’t scared about US actions..
why all the manic yelping and screeching and mindless bluster about the US withdrawal from the Paris Toilet Parer Farce
Pajama boy shakes his finger at Trump. OOOOHHHHH. Scary. Not.
France and the EU may or may not care what the US does. The US DOES NOT care what they do. In spite of Pajama boy’s belief, France and the EU are nothing in the world today— a minor power and an economic drop in the ocean of world trade. Looks like trading elsewhere could save the US $134 million a year. That would be smart shopping.
Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau and Jacinda Adern. The terrible trio of lightweight, ignorant, virtue signalling, idiotic western leaders elected to high office apparently for the sole reason that they are young and agreeable looking.
