Trump pulling out of Paris Climate Accord

[JakeStarkey]

Now all the deniers are denying the Accord's agreements.

Kids, we are not going to walk away from the Accord until November 2020. Tough that you don't like it.

seems you are bubba. but I'm not surprised. you've been lost for quite some time.

Because Bubba Trump says "we are done" does not make it so. First, the language of the Accord allows out in 2020. Second, persons, cities, universities, states, and business are setting up a network to interconnect with the UN on continuing fighting global warming. Neither Trump nor you can stop that.

That may be, Jake. But we have stopped donating money to it effective immediately.

There is no money in renewables just more taxes…

well where are they, the EU, going to get the money from the US then bubba?

Rising oceans threaten to submerge 128 military bases: report - Navy Times

So ya think the parris acord will solve it?

What do you think tard there is some huge thermostat of the world?

A giant crack in Antarctic ice is 'days or weeks' from breaking off a Delaware-size iceberg

The piece of floating ice in question is colossal. It's at least 1,100 feet thick at the edge — it thickens inland — and roughly 2,000 square miles. It's destabilizing quickly, a process accelerated by human-caused climate change.

What's more, Luckman and O'Leary say, the larger swath of the Larsen C ice shelf that sits behind the soon-to-calve iceberg "will be less stable than it was prior to the rift" and may rapidly disintegrate like a neighboring ice shelf did in 2002. Such an event could quickly raise sea levels by several inches.

Bye bye, military bases!

At the moment, Syria and Nicaragua. That's the company in which Trump wants to put the U.S.

There is zero enforcement mechanism. ZERO! The BRIC nations (nor Indonesia) aren't doing a thing under the agreement. In fact they are doing the opposite and vastly expanding coal production.

However in spite of Obama and the liberal war on fracking, through the 1000 fold increase in natural gas production the US is seeing a ginormous decrease in natural gas emissions.

See liberal only approve of wind (a horrible source) and solar (a source that has great potential but is decades away from being a via source). They hate natural gas, hydro and nuclear, 3 sources that produce little to no emissions!

through the 1000 fold increase in natural gas production the US is seeing a ginormous decrease in natural gas emissions.

Can you provide a credible reference supporting the veracity of the first of those two assertions and one that precisely quantifies the second? If so, will you please do so?

Gina is also not a signatory of the accord.

???? Gina?

Stop "subsidizing" who?

California is a donor state.

A donor state? Your ass it is.. its a donate too state as welfare and social programs are 10x the average...

Yes, you're an ass and CA is a donor state.

Does California give more than it gets from D.C.?

The LAO also cites figures from a March 2016 report by the Pew Charitable Trusts. It found the federal government spent nearly $356 billion in California in fiscal year 2014, for salaries and wages, grants, contracts, retirement benefits and other benefits. That same year, California paid about $369 billion in total federal tax -- or about $13 billion more than it received -- according to the Internal Revenue Service Data Book, 2014.

So, please, by all means, "cut off" CA and save us $13 billion.

Cali received over 23.5 billion in government payments last year.. We would do well to cut you and your programs off..

No, CA received $356 billion. It paid out $369 billion. If you can't do that math in your head, it's more than $10 billion more CA paid than received.

That's irrelevant. The issue is how much CA's green energy programs get in subsidies, and it's a lot. If it wasn't for these subsidies, energy production by wind and solar would be zero.

It's not irrelevant. If the Feds don't have to give CA money, CA doesn't have to give the Feds money. CA wins in that "deal" by billions.

Debunking Trump's Paris Climate Accord lies:

9 Times Trump Twisted Facts In His Speech Quitting Paris Accord

A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

And oddly, you didn't link to this NASA study. Could it be because NASA supports the science that point to human caused climate change?

Now....explain logically WHY that is.

<Crickets>

Thought so.

Excuse me? Are you seriously asking me to logically explain why, with regard to climate change commitments, Trump wants to put the U.S. in the same league as Syria and Nicaragua?

There's little that man does that is soundly explainable, and that move on his part suffers from that dereliction. Yes, Trump has given an explanation for why he wanted to withdraw from the Paris climate accord; however, the explanation he's given is merely an explanation, not a sound one.

• The entire coal industry employs fewer people than Arby’s
  
  
  
  
  Although 76,000 might seem like a large number, consider that similar numbers of people are employed by, say, the bowling (69,088) and skiing (75,036) industries. Other dwindling industries, such as travel agencies (99,888 people), employ considerably more. Used-car dealerships provide 138,000 jobs. Theme parks provide nearly 144,000. Carwash employment tops 150,000.
  
  Looking at the level of individual businesses, the coal industry in 2014 (76,572) employed about as many as Whole Foods (72,650), and fewer workers than Arby's (close to 80,000), Dollar General (105,000) or J.C. Penney (114,000). The country's largest private employer, Walmart (2.2 million employees) provides roughly 28 times as many jobs as coal.
  
  If anything the numbers above over-estimate the jobs impact of coal relative to other industries. Since 2014 the coal industry has shrunk further according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, to 50,300 employees as of February 2017.
  
  The point isn't that coal jobs don't matter — they matter to the people who have them and to the communities they support, especially as they typically pay far more than do jobs in the retail and service industries, But if you're looking to make a meaningful increase in the number of jobs available to U.S. workers, bringing back coal jobs isn't going to do it.
  
  
• Average Number of Employees by State and [Coal] Mine Type, 2015 and 2014
  
• 50% of US coal jobs are in just 25 counties
  
• Natural gas is fast outpacing coal as the most popular fuel for U.S. electricity generation.
• Coal companies like Cloud Peak Energy and Peabody Energy argued for staying in the Paris Agreement.

it's already floating. so not sure what your point is.

Anybody know why natural gas is called "natural"

Because it comes straight out of the ground in gas form. It isn't distilled from petroleum.

Some people should be flooded out of their homes…

.Merkel can go fly a green kite.....

To the extent they invest in low carbon emitting technologies and methods, that's quite likely what they will do. The specific shade will be "money green" for industries like wind, hydro, are solar are growth industries.

So Mother Nature produced and presumably made retrievable via Mother Natures intent
See even if we used zero petrol libs would then grab onto Natural Gas as a big no no

NASA has been caught red-handed doctoring the data. It has no credibility.
