Even after the recent brutal terrorist attack in Manchester, EU Leaders want to focus on…climate? Obama handed over billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the UN’s climate slush fund and they want more. They’ve already admitted it’s about wealth distribution so why is anyone surprised where their priorities lie. From McClatchy DC Bureau’s Franco Ordoñez:
While terrorism may top President Donald Trump’s agenda, European leaders keep pressing him on climate change and the environment.
French President Emmanuel Macron worked on Trump during lunch Thursday, urging the U.S. president not to ditch the 196-nation Paris Agreement on climate change before getting on a plane to Sicily, Italy.
“My wish is that the United States takes no hurried decision,” Macron said Thursday after meeting with Trump in Brussels.
Trump arrived at this seaside community late Thursday for the Group of Seven conference where allies will talk about a series of issues from trade to Russia. But Trump’s position on the Paris accord—particularly his pledge to leave the accord—is one of the most urgent matters for European leaders, who are committed to keeping the Americans involved.
Ever since he left the Middle East, Trump has been reminded how important the issue is to U.S. friends in Europe.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis handed Trump his 181-page encyclical, “Laudato Si” (“Praise Be”), that largely blames man for climate change.
The Paris agreement challenges countries of the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming. The accord, which went into force in November 2016, is considered the world’s most comprehensive plan to date for fighting climate change.
The administration delayed its decision until after its five-country, nine-day foreign trip through the Middle East and Europe. Allies have taken the opportunity to try to take the administration’s temperature on the issue and press him during their time in this beautiful ancient city on the importance of protecting the earth.
Senate Democrats joined the push. In anticipation of the conference, 40 Senate Democrats signed a letter to the president urging him not back out of the international agreement.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told reporters on Air Force One on Wednesday that a decision on the agreement had yet to be made.
He called it a “difficult balancing act” to address climate change while keeping the economy thriving.
Funny isn’t it, for a bunch of old school socialists they certainly have a fondnest for OPM.
Its no doupt in the schools where their telling kids that SUV’s and backyard BBQ’s cuase Global Warming if their not already telling kids that livestock ranching is cuasing global warming like they were claiming that livestock ranching was wiping out the Rainforests of South America back in the 1990’s(Lies.lies,lies,)if anyone can still remember their phonie SAVE THE RAINFORESTS campaigns
Not sure what they have to smirk about . Their economies are a mess and the liberal policies are creating a powder keg of social unrest .
A tiny increase in temperature, if it happens, will be the least of their worries .
EU what EU ?
France … “My wish is the United States takes no hurried action ‘ . Why not ?
Hoping your Liberal pals in the USA will run Mr . Trump off first ?
What they are worried about is their own internal climate scams will unravel if the USA calls BS on this hoax .
Macron will be sticking nuts on doughnuts in less than two years .
Anyone with some knowledge of history will know the record of failure of France and Germany. Consider the French connection to Vietnam, Haiti, Libya, etc. Germany destroyed Europe twice and owns the Holocaust. Merkel gladly flooded the EU with refugees who don’t care for assimilation. Britain is associated with Australia, Hong Kong, India, Canada, USA etc.
Now who do you think Trump should align America with?
Let those Euroweenies shout CLIMATE until their mute we rejected the Metric System we dont want to be like the euroweenies we still want to a indpentant nation and without the Useless Nations and Coffee Cup Anan
