Discussion: US Still Attending UN Climate Meetings Ahead Of Decision On Paris Agreement

The goal is to ensure Trump receives information from both government experts and the private sector before a making a decision.

…provided, of course, that they are climate change deniers.

Pruitt might seem to be an ideologue but he is really paid for his position. Technically he is what is known as a whore. If his masters in the energy industry decide to support the Paris accord, he will support it enthusiastically. Just watch.

Government experts and the private sector? How about scientists? I guess that would be asking too much of these people.

Ivanka? Shouldn’t she be ambassador to Mali or something like that?
She can free the slaves.

Republicans believe the free market will flock to US companies to buy our old, expensive, polluting technology.

Pollution is our growth opportunity.

Fossil fuel prices are in the crapper. Trump administration pushes coal as the fuel of the future. The Jetson’s future we hoped for is looking like the Flintstones now.

Don’t you know that all of the scientists in the world are members of a secret cult that has scary climate change at the top of its agenda. The scientist people just want to scare us into paying for their idle lifestyle.

The Dow Jones U.S. Coal Index stands at about $40. In Mid-2014, it was at $140 – a loss of 70%. Yep, the U.S. coal industry is doing just great now :smirk:

Nah, Trump would just call it fake science. In fact, if this is just another exercise in “Ivanka’s the good one” image-building, she’ll involve all the people the right already doesn’t listen to, the way she lured Al Gore to Trump Tower during the transition. If she’s sincere (and smart), she’ll bring in those CEOs who incorporate the consensus forecasts into their plans, the generals who see climate change as our greatest security threat, and the contractors who can show him exactly how much of Mar-a-Lago and his many golf resorts will be lost to flooding and soil erosion, and how soon. I’m praying, against all earthly evidence, that she’s sincere.
