Paris Agreement: Climategate 3.0
I broke the Climategate story seven and a half years ago. That's right: I did it. In this article I discuss how--while also discussing what was so bad about the Paris Agreement, how even the foremost activists didn't like it (they didn't think it went far enough), and how most of the parties to the agreement don't even believe their own narrative--because they won't act like it!

However, the temptation is there for activist judges in the U.S. to treat it as settled law, and force businesses and states to abide by the provisions created to meet our goals under the accord. By formally announcing we do not consider ourselves a legal party to the accord, it removes that justification for endless litigation.
Rest assured, if Clinton had become President, her administration would have pressed for doubling down on all the Obama promises under the accord. She already vowed to significantly increase our intake of refugees, so I have no doubt she would have felt compelled to accelerate the shutdown of the fossil fuel industry and increase the subsidizing of renewable power.
The accord is just part of a globalist authoritarian grab for control over individual freedom. In practice it very much would have been an assault over your livelihood, freedoms, and liberties.
I'd like to see a report naming the RINO senators so we can work on making this happen in 2018.
Herr Doktor Josef Goebbels famously said if you tell a big-enough lie, people will believe it, on the erroneous theory that some lies are just too big to tell. I know otherwise.
Have you forgotten what Henry Rearden says in Part 2 ("Either-or") of Atlas Shrugged? "You do not serve the public good. Nobody's good is ever served by human sacrifice. When you violate the rights of one, you violate the rights of all. And a country of rightless creatures is doomed to destruction."
Do tell this community what objective good the Paris Agreement would have served. In other words, show, if you can, just cause why President Trump should not have acted as he did.

Frankly, I found nothing in it that threatens me, my livelihood, or my freedoms and liberties.
