Good News: Quitting The Paris Climate (scam) Agreement Is Just The Start

Politico thinks this is a bad thing, yet, how many employees have given up their own use of fossil fuels, moved into a tiny home, stopped eating meat, and only buy second-hand clothes, among other measures?

Quitting Paris was just the start

climate doom yearly

Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?

The Trump administration has been dropping hints it may exit the world’s oldest climate treaty — a move that would go way beyond his withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Agreement.

While in line with the president’s anti-climate action agenda, a retreat from the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change could ultimately curtail President Donald Trump’s international influence, writes Sara Schonhardt.

“If we pull out, then we essentially yield the field to anti-fossil-fuel interests,” George David Banks, who led international climate policy in the first Trump White House, told Sara.

How so? Well, I read ahead, and the Politico article doesn’t say. How about that link to Schonhardt’s speculative article?

Rather than quit, he said the administration could identify countries it can work with under the framework — such as Saudi Arabia and Russia — to push for a pro-fossil-fuel agenda.

“Given the fact that the President has made energy dominance and energy exports a priority for the administration, … he should be very concerned and very engaged in venues that oppose that agenda,” Banks said.

Yeah, that really doesn’t clear up why exiting would be Bad for the fossil fuels interests. Seriously, could it be worse than what the climate cultists are doing now? Regardless, both articles are all about “hints”, with zero concrete proof. But, could he really do this?

If Trump does pull the country out of the framework, it could be difficult for a new president to undo. Joining a treaty requires a two-thirds Senate vote — a high hurdle even in less polarized times — though some legal scholars say a new administration could rely on the 1992 Senate vote.

But, can a president actually pull out of a treaty unilateraly?

If asked whether the President alone possesses a general, sweeping unilateral power to terminate every U.S. treaty in force, a layperson might well answer “no.” But among the legal academic community, the conventional wisdom seems to be “yes,” or at least “maybe.”4 On closer study, however, that conventional wisdom rests not on constitutional text, structure, or Supreme Court precedent, but on the thin reed of historical practice that followed the Court’s summary disposition nearly four decades ago in Goldwater v. Carter.5 In that case, the Court declined to review President Jimmy Carter’s unilateral termination of a bilateral treaty with Taiwan in accordance with its terms, but—like the Constitution’s text—the Justices left undecided which branch of government has the power of treaty withdrawal, and under what circumstances.6

The essay where I got that argues that a president cannot pull out of a Senate approved treaty.

And on the merits, no blanket power authorizes a unilateral presidential power to terminate international agreements. The Constitution does not directly address treaty withdrawal.

So, yes? No? Maybe? But, is the Trump admin even considering this? I guess we’ll find out.

    LOL. Big Donnie can do anything he desires. Who can stop him? Donnie has the DOJ, Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Space Force!, DHS, ICE, FBI, CIA, IRS, U.S. Marshalls…

    The only controls on Donnie is his conscience.

    Some random thoughts:

    Trump did not institute price controls on drugs. He just ordered Kennedy to tell the drug companies we will only pay so much for drugs. 30-90 percent reduction in price.

    All around the world countries are paying 25 dollars for a drug. That same drug in the USA sells for 1100 dollars.

    Why?

    Because dumb assed insurance companies will pay it.

    That is why it costs 11,000 dollars to paint your car today. Because insurance agencies will pay for it and then bitch about how expensive fixing cars are as they charge people 2000 to 5000 dollars a year for car insurance.

    Drugs in the USA are extraordinarily expensive because mega corporations pay for them for us and then charge us 11000-15000 a year for health insurance and then their ceo’s get assassinated because that 14000 dollar health insurance policy won’t pay for your coverage when you need it.

    FUBAR….its the only word I can think to describe the state of affairs in the world and more particularly in the USA where you expect much better than you are getting.

    The MUSLIM HATING TRUMP(according to the left)took his first trip abroad to Saudia Arabia in 2017 and again in 2025 to a hero’s welcome. His first Trip was not to a Christian nation but a Muslim nation in both terms. He has effectively done one major thing.

    Brought Syria and Saudia Arabia back under the USA umbrella that Biden in his retarded foreign policy had firmly pushed into China and Russia’s arms.

    Trump did what he did in Syria because the leader of TURKEY, another Muslim country asked him to do it, and Saudia Arabia asked him as well. So Trump took a leap of faith and removed all sanctions on Syria in return for the protection of WOMEN, CHILDREN, JEWS, CHRISTIANS.

    Turkey just Invaded Libya. Libya’s government is being attacked by RUSSIA and IRANIAN proxies. Turkey joined the pro-western leader of Libya against Russia whom they had been moving toward after Obama was installed for his third term.

    What else is there to be said….while all of this is going on the Democrats are screaming about a plane and storming an ICE DETENTION CENTER THAT HAS BEEN OPEN SINCE 2014. All they can think about is ways in which they can impeach Trump yet again. Its amazing what the globalist cabal, who think they SHOULD run the world, will go to stop Trump from accomplishing world peace and squelching hatred towards Muslims, Jews and Christians.

    HEZZBOLAH just tossed IRAN out of Lebanon for fear Israel will turn the country into a bomb crater. The Houthis’ begged the USA and Israel for peace. India kicked Pakistan’s ass as the Chinese weapons proved to be vastly inferior to what was advertised. Again. Trump who is embraced by both Countries stepped in and talked both sides down. As opposed to Democrats who hate anyone who will not embrace, DEI, Cutting kids diks off and WOKISM. Of course this includes China, India and Pakistan who vehemently opposed wokism of any sort.

    So there you have it. The country just posted a 49 percent right track poll. The highest its been since Rassmussen started tracking it 25 years ago which goes right along with the 49-51 percent approval ratings that Trump gets from LEGIT polling firms.

    By the way….may leftist reporters are now admitting they were lying to cover up Bidens dementia and Sonny Hostein of the View is about to be a pauper as her hubby is being sued for 435 million fraud scheme against federal insurance which her dumb assed View Wife basically said he was doing on the view. She turned white on screen once the lawyer just admitted on live TV her husband was a fraudster and most likely now going to prison…..LOLOLOL……Its amazing how much Trump can accomplish just by breathing the air we all share.

    Just some random thoughts as its hard to keep up with all the winning the world is facing with Trump back at the wheel of the world.

      So our drug prices will not drop 90%?? Seismic?

      “It almost sounds like: We’ll just ask for lower prices and see how that goes,” said Stacie Dusetzina, a health policy professor at Vanderbilt University who studies drug pricing. Barring more substantive action, she said, “I would not anticipate drug prices to come down in the near future.”

      Pharmaceutical investors were relieved that Mr. Trump did not propose the more substantive policy he had threatened. After dropping in premarket trading, pharmaceutical stocks rebounded when the details of Mr. Trump’s move became clear. Merck’s stock rose by 6 percent on Monday. Pfizer’s closed up by nearly 4 percent. An index of smaller biotechnology stocks was up 4 percent.

      “Better than feared,” analysts at the Wall Street bank Jefferies wrote in a note to investors. “More bark than bite,” said TD Cowen analysts.

      His plan is to coerce drug companies to charge foreigners more! Brilliant.

      All for show. He wants to appear to be on YOUR side!!

      And how many FOTs (Followers of Trump) have taken ‘his’ (LOL) vow of poverty, e.g., 2 dolls instead of 34 for theiir 9, 11, 15 year old ‘babies’? (Of course, this was before the American people, pollsters and media forced him to cave to China.)

      How many only ‘buy American’?

      BTW… from the NYTimes.

      ??????????????

      A struggling technology company that has ties to China and relies on TikTok made an unusual announcement this week. It had secured funding to buy as much as $300 million of $TRUMP, the so-called memecoin marketed by President Trump.

      GD Culture Group, a publicly traded firm with a Chinese subsidiary, has only eight employees, its public filings show, and recorded zero revenue last year from an e-commerce business it operates on TikTok, the Chinese-owned video-sharing app.

      A memecoin marketed by President Trump? LOL. No wonder Big Donnie folded on China trade.

      $TRUMP funnels money directly to the Trump (Crime) Family. Why do you suppose foreigners are buying up this memecoin? That’s rhetorical.

    So Pissant, what or who is Whoopie? Is that what you call ‘playtime’ with mommy? LMFAO!!

  5. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    Pissant,

    Do you watch The View? I’ve never seen it – it sounds as if it’s a bunch of high decibel, high frequency furies. Like most men, I’m oversensity to shrill female voices – especially all at once.

    Why are you obsessed with peckers, dicks, weiners, schlongs, johnsons etc? Are you considering having yours chopped off so you can finally be your true self?
