Opinion – I believe man-made climate change to be a massive con. At best it is unproven.
Fact – the Paris Climate Accord was non-binding, extorted billions of dollars from the US, did nothing to slow global emissions, and was not appropriately ratified in the US.
Despite this, as was predicted the far-left radicals went into full temper-tantrum mode. The best of the week:
Idiotic “climate accord” – buh-bye. The far-left is in full temper tantrum mode over Trump pulling the US out of the flawed, unenforceable, corrupt Paris climate accord.
Some of the adjectives being used are: “stupid, reckless, illegal, treasonous, and planet-destroying”. Projection alert: all of these things can actually be said of the original accord, but that is what leftists do.
Here are the facts, which are kryptonite to leftist crazies:
The accord was of dubious legality in the US since Obama refused to put it in front of Congress as it is required by law if an actual treaty. He knew it would die there: that is why he took it upon himself to sign. If the left wants the US in this, put it to vote. That is how the country works.
The accord will do nothing to halt “global warm, er, climate change”. Only countries in North America and Europe would have their emissions cut, leaving the developing world and India/China to continue to pollute while growing their economies.
The accord is entirely unenforceable as is. The only mechanism to get countries to comply is moral suasion. We have seen how that works out: every nation has cheated on previous emission treaties like Kyoto.
The accord would pressure the US to pay billions to corrupt third-world nations to develop “alternative energy” sources. Bet that will work out well. It is basically extortion.
All those US CEO’s pushing for this (Tesla, Apple, Google, JPM, Exxon, ect) must know what they are talking about, right? Yeah, they are all big business corporatists who will profit mightily from government handouts. That’s right. Follow the money.
“The US needs to be a climate leader” says the left. Well, by pulling out of this farce it is being a leader.
The short story is that this is another well-aimed thumb in the eye to the elitist, globalist movement. That is why the left is so enraged. Their attempt at world order is crumbling. Bravo, President Trump.

This seemingly innocuous nerdy guy has become a darling of the far-left with his wacky opinions about things seemingly scientific and unabashed climate-change fear mongering and threats. His statements are often ungrounded from actual science, he is unabashed anti-free speech, and he isn’t even a scientist.
He is a fraud, a con, and a charlatan.

And now, the “people’s climate march”. Send in the clowns.

I have been saying it for years: the AGW/climate change folks are ant-humanist, anti-progress elites. They need all kinds of justification for their warped views.

It is well known by this point that the US public primary and secondary school system is in dire Straights. As if more reasons are needed to send your kids to a private school (we do) or home school them, here they are:
Child abuse: Obama wants to force all public schools to provide “trans” bathrooms and locker rooms:
Portland has banned text books that question the leftist doctrine of global warming:
Public schools are a leftists dream. Their motto should be “de-educate and indoctrinate”.
