In summary, the author believes that what's important is what you say, not what you do.

You can be naughty, that's OK, the broad and grand Church of Climate Change accepts sinners who claim "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak". One may even be excused for "polluting" the atmosphere with carbon so long as they do not pollute their mouth with heresy.

This is a huge slap in the silly faces of those twits not used to a politician sticking to policies outlined prior to election. The twits were 'sure' that 'voices of reason' would deter Trump from going ahead and doing what he said he would do.

The UN will cease getting money from U.S citizens, but they will continue to rob Australia and other countries with bozo leaders. Trump is the only world leader to know that the Paris Accord is not about climate, but about transferring money to he world's no-hopers and crooks – many of whom infest the UN.

Trump's next move should be to dump the United Nations altogether.

Unfortunately, it seems that the climate crooks are going to dig in even more as their scam becomes more apparent.

Only voters can put a stop to their stupidity.

Binoy this is your worst effort...Ever.

To start with your analysis proves you have no math. From this effort I expect you need a calculator to make change from a $5 train ticket.

Then you quote the French pansy, about make the planet green again. What a poser he is, & what a foolish thing to quote. If you've done any reading at all, you would know even the Sarah desert is greening again due to the increased CO2 available to flora.

Again if you had any knowledge of the facts of life, you would know that Obama poured billions into "green industry". Those billions disappeared into the shonks who ran green garbage companies, the companies went bankrupt, all at ordinary peoples expense.

As for China taking over the mantel of the green good guy, come off it for gods sake. They are planning on doubling their CO2 output by 2030. This is an entirely sensible thing for China to do, but suggesting they are the good guys in CO2 terms simply proves the whole thing is a left plan, & has nothing to do with conservation.

Get over it, this lefty grab for world government had failed. You'll have to try a new scheme.

Dear Ttbn,

All true, except the last sentence:

«Only voters can put a stop to their stupidity.»

Unfortunately there are so many to vote against and no one to vote for.
All politicians stand for violent coercion - whether the orders comes from Manhattan, from Beijing or from Canberra are only the different colours of the icing on their cakes.

No Binoy,

The sky is not falling.

Trump would have been better served, one would think, by keeping his mouth closed on climate change etc, and have the world think him a fool, than open it and remove all doubt?

Trump's views/exit strategy are irrelevant, and aimed at a shrinking cadre of rusted on voter support?

America will likely exceed its Paris accord agreement? As will China/India!

Bankers/financiers the world over are moving away from coal, given it's the greatest pollutant.

Mr Holmes A'court, commenting recently on morning ABC radio, said that there was no appetite in the business sector for coal or even clean coal, which to date had proved in the two trials conducted anywhere in the world, spectacularly unsuccessful? With one other still on the drawing board and likely headed in the same direction?

Oil wells produce some Co2, which can be liquefied and returned to a readymade repository, without costing the house and kitchen sink?

Not so coal, which needs to find a suitable repository. And where trialed thus far, according to Mr A'court, only managed to sequester just 6% of emissions and at a cost of around $100.00 a ton?

And we have here in Q, a hostile minority government intent it would seem, on further energy price hikes, that is estimated to cost the average mug a further $350.00 per. And the straw that breaks the camel's back for the estimated 40% unable to respond with an uptake of renewables.

So this is the 40% renewable plan? Force energy consumers to the wall?

Anyone who's run a business, knows that this raised margins model is a recipe for ultimate bankruptcy!

When what is required is lower prices and consequent increased consumption/cash flow!

They've destroyed that as a consequence of reuniting competing energy retailers and half assed barely thought through, political posturing over renewable and arguably unattainable targets.

While trying to make the energy consumer completely responsible for the target. When as the owner operator of the state's energy stocks and resources, it was and remains their job to roll out a viable cheaper base load alternative, that would literally walk out the door!

And that alternative for the numskull run state and increasing irrelevant and powerless President Trump, was and remains, carbon free thorium!

Look at the billions of dollars Trump has saved America by pulling
out of this agreement. Well done.

America can still concentrate on renewable power in America,
but now it doesn't have to pay dubious third world countrys, led by
dubious leaders,money that will no doubt be used on token environmental
projects, whilst the money disappears elsewhere.

Blind Freddy can see that this is just a money grab by these countrys
because there are no laws about how the money should be spent.

The man makes a lot more sense, than any of those people trying to tear him down,do.

Why should America have to pay for the pollution by other countries, especially those with gross over populations.

Here is a different view of this matter.
