Trump's Speech on Paris Accord

[Hamloc]

Ok Grassfarmer I need some clarification. Are you saying climate change caused the extended period of drought in the 1930's? Really?

[Hamloc]

Grassfarmer, you feel Trump is the stupidest President ever. You need to read Terrence Corcoran's latest comment in the Financial Post: Trump calls out the global-control agenda of the Paris deal, but Canada remains oblivious. I would say you fall into the oblivious camp as well.

Do we need to be more efficient? Absolutely but is that what the Paris accord is really about? Not in my opinion. It is just like Premier Notley's carbon tax, it is all about wealth redistribution. Get mad and call me a Neanderthal if you like but environmentalists have been predicting the collapse of our earth for decades and we are still here. The same predictions were made when the Kyoto accord was created but nobody lowered their emissions. Now Trump is being lampooned by all, in this case he is the only one being realistic.

Listening to Stephen Carter on the Jespersen show, the chief of staff for Redford and PC strategist, thought the move of carbon tax in Alberta is what put the Kinder Morgan pipeline on the drawing board....quite liked the segment. Liked his view on the BC coalition....more like a Trump scenario, make a bunch of claims and shoot off at the mouth, but when it doesn't come thru, they just say "we tried."
(He was actually more complimentary to Notely than one would think....)
The Carbon tax, whether it helps global warming or not, is more about perception, education and focusing on doing the right thing...IMHO....and in a few years, will be as accepted as GST.
But, am occasionally wrong...;-)

CO2 IS NOT POLLUTION. It is absolutely necessary for ALL PLANT life on earth. The more the merrier.

Yes the 1930's and all those EVIL diesel/gas engines. All the oil industry, oops started in 1947....so ah ah I guess 1930's were because we paid TOO little taxes, let's not make that mistake...pay HIGHER taxes to COOL the planet. Immediately JT, help!

[grassfarmer]

Hamloc, it doesn't need any clarification I highlighted the poster and post I was replying to. Don't try to twist it into something I didn't say.

For those of you thinking the motivation behind Trumps decision to drop out of the Paris Accord was doing what's best for the USA should take your blinders off. By dropping out of the Paris Accord Trump did what was best for him, and that was keeping his voter base happy nothing else. His adviser Ivanka was against daddy's move, not to mention countless CEO's of major USA companies but, Steve Bannon and Reince Priebus have Trumps ear.

Well the USA now has another thing in common with Syria and Nicaragua other than having USA bombs on their soils!! What a group to be lumped in with, how many of you on here have ancestors from either of those two countries or gone for a visit to them?

Considering Trump has upset 4 of the climate alarmists on Agriville he made the right decision.

Job well done.

Trump has gone sort of quiet on trade agenda, supposed to be a ninety day review of NAFTA.
Main result of all his talk so far is alienating other world leaders with make America great and America first.
Do not understand support from people in other countries who are expected to pay for his agenda.
Not much accomplished so far other than a ot of talk and hot air.

Trump doing and saying stupid things is getting old and almost predictable.Just like the Jerry Springer show.

Interesting letter below written by business leaders and liberal luminaries to the Obama administration ahead of the Copenhagen Climate summit in 2009. Signed by none other than Donald Trump and his adult children.



Key statement: "If we fail to act now, it is scientifically irrefutable that there will be catastrophic and irreversible consequences for humanity and our planet"


More recently the Trump organization's golf course in Ireland was threatened by coastal erosion, so the company applied for a permit to build a seawall to protect the property from “global warming and its effects.”

Yep, explain these ones away.

[chuckChuck]

In many of the climate change deniers posts on Agriville, facts or scientific evidence don't matter its all about the politics. Left vs right. Liberals vs Conservative. Never a a shred of any credible science to back their claims. Just a lot of over heated rhetoric and laughable claims.

It is so ironic that some fiscal conservatives are so concerned about deficits and growing debt and the impact on future generations but are in complete denial about what the massive financial impact of climate change will be on our children and grandchildren. In the true meaning of the word conservative it should imply that you don't **** up the world for future generations and pass on the costs and a legacy of bad decisions.

The sea will always be crashing into the coast of Ireland. If Trump could get some free money from the Irish government to build a seawall, because the government BELEIVES in Global Warming,,,that's being a smart businessman.

If you believe in that crap, and you're willing to give me free money to build a seawall to protect my private golf course, then sure,,,I believe in it too !!! haha
