Forget pulling out of the Paris (scam) agreement, this is huge
Trump quits pivotal 1992 climate treaty, in massive blow to global warming effort
The announcement to sever ties with the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change came as Trump quit dozens of international organizations that the White House says no longer serve U.S. interests by promoting radical climate policies and other issues. It was outlined in a memo by the White House. Trump has called on other countries to abandon their carbon-cutting measures, and the move appears to be his latest attempt to destabilize global climate cooperation.
The 1992 UNFCCC serves as the international structure for efforts by 198 countries to slow the rate of rising climate pollution. It has universal participation. The U.S. was the first industrialized nation to join the treaty following its ratification under former President George H.W. Bush — and it will be the only nation ever to leave it. The move also marks Trump’s intensifying efforts to topple climate efforts compared to his first term, when he decided against quitting the treaty.
“Many of these bodies promote radical climate policies, global governance, and ideological programs that conflict with U.S. sovereignty and economic strength,” stated a White House fact sheet.
This is awesome. Incredible. What seemed like a good idea in 1992 quickly morphed into a push for soft authoritarianism.
(NRDC) It takes one year after the United States formally submits its paperwork to the United Nations to no longer be a party to the UNFCCC. No country has ever taken this radical step to completely withdraw from all international climate efforts. Withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and the UNFCCC solidifies this administration’s stance as a global pariah on climate change.
So, it takes a year? But, to rejoin, it would be immediate. Damned big reason to make sure a Republican wins in 2028.
Strange, we get out of all this climate B.S. and suddenly, we can all breath easier.
I guess it wasn’t the air we breath but the 5000 lb. elephant sitting on our chest. (and wallet)

What “soft authoritarianism has adversely affected you the most over the last 30 years ?
Lol
Teach no longer seems to be using that “skyrocketing costs” phrase anymore. Over the last 20 years the average cost of residential electricity has increased an average of 2% per year b
But if course we must remember that only 1/3 the cost of residential electricity goes to generation. 2/3s goes to transmission and “overhead”profit”
A.S.S.
And your information is shown in???
Proof????????????????
Lol
Jmi as your beloved departed was want to say
PROVE ME WRONG
OHH. Here is another one to pop your reality bubble
In cloudy Germany solar electric power last year jumped into the #2 spot ahead of both coal and gas.
Wind power is still #1
But if you are still flummoxed about using search engines I used the search words avg
avg increase in residential electric bills 30 years
Let me know what you find !
And jimmi
The price that Germany pays to buy solar electricity from solar producers is about 7 cents per kwh. Solar power is cheap to buy
