Donald Trump to withdraw from Paris agreement, 'change course' on climate change

[Spike]

London: The man who wrote the Trump administration's environment action plan says the environmental movement is "the greatest threat to freedom and prosperity in the modern world" and said the United States was about to change course on climate policy, including withdrawal from the Paris agreement.

Myron Ebell, who led the Environmental Protection Agency transition for the new administration, said he gave the president three pathways for withdrawing from the 2015 Paris agreement on greenhouse gas emissions, at least one of which could be done "right now".

He also said the president had been clear he wanted to abolish the EPA - though it might survive as a channel for pollution clean-up grants to states.

"There were a number of very clear, black and white promises. He said he will withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, he will defund UN climate programs, at the EPA he will potentially withdraw or repeal all of the Obama administration rules regarding greenhouse gas emissions including the so-called Clean Power Plan.

"He will undo president Obama's climate action plan… the United States will clearly change course on climate policy and that's the first piece of good news."

Mr Ebell said more than half the EPA's budget already went to state grants for infrastructure and clean-up projects.

"(Mr Trump's) interest is really that the EPA goes back to its core missions … I would expect that in terms of his desire to radically shrink the EPA's bureaucracy you may actually see more money going into state grants."

He said he hoped that the EPA's 'endangerment finding' under the Clean Air Act would be undone, which would lead to the scrapping of greenhouse gas emission rules.

Hot damn!!! The crown jewel of the loonies great treasury draining boondoggle. If their heads hadn't already combusted, they surely will now.

 

[RollRed]

**** yeah!!! We should really go old school and start putting asbestos in building materials..... start using leaded gas again..... let companies do like the mills used to and just dump every ******* thing right into the river..... shut down the water treatment plants because they're just big government money sucking wastes of time too.... let all that raw sewage just flow into the rivers like it did in the good old days. Maybe if we're lucky we can catch the Cuyahoga River on fire again!!! This is gonna be awesome!!!

Isn't the EPA armed with some military grade weapons? This group certainly needs knocked down a few pegs.

Where i live most people would take some air and water pollution in exchange for all the people and jobs we've lost since 1973.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was like that RonBoy ?

Nobody wants crap for an environment but the global cooling, warming, climate change bs is a money grab period. I

Hmm, could it be ?

Global warming people crack me up. The Earth's Temperature has gone up a sizzling 1.6 degrees over the past 120 years, sometimes getting warmer, other times getting cooler.

According to one study of measurements available from 1950 to 2009, sea level measurements show an average annual rise in sea level of 1.7 millimeters (0.067 in) ± 0.3 millimeters (0.012 in) per year. Get real, I would not notice that amount on my own di@k.

This is a very weak coloration, and the issue here is " Global " so all the USA libs can please tell me how they are going to make China and India comply to this problem.

you only need to look at the Kyoto agreement to see that it was more about transferring money from one place to another than it was about climate. You can still pollute as much (or almost so) if you give these other countries money. Oh, China and India? You don't have to worry about it <wink,wink>

New World Order time!



Lawmaker to propose abolishing EPA

A House Republican is working on legislation that if passed would completely abolish the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Freshman Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) outlined his plan in a letter to colleagues obtain by The Hill and first reported by The Huffington Post.

“Today, the American people are drowning in rules and regulations promulgated by unelected bureaucrats; and the Environmental Protection Agency has become an extraordinary offender,” Gaetz wrote in the letter soliciting support from lawmakers.

“Our small businesses cannot afford to cover the costs associated with compliance, too often leading to closed doors and unemployed Americans,” he continued. “It is time to take back our legislative power from the EPA and abolish it permanently.”

Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Are you suggesting that the noble devotees of "climate science" are ******* money grabbers??? No, it can't be true - except:

"One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole," said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015.

So what is the goal of environmental policy?

"We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy," said Edenhofer.

The ************* in charge of "climate science" ******* admitted that the goal is to re-distribute money.

Nothing more, nothing less at this point.

Too many agencies in our Feral Gubmint have been politicized and need to be gutted and retooled for the real job of working FOR the people, not an ideology.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About 900 U.S. State Department officials signed an internal dissent memo protesting a travel ban by U.S. President Donald Trump on refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, a source familiar with the document said on Tuesday, in a rebellion against the new president's policies.

Jim Quinn read an email on the air this morning from a Yinzer who travels around Europe for business and said that all of the European people he talks to are on board with Trump and against the EU, as opposed to their media that paints a different picture.

So far many non MSM references i have seen in Europe refer to him as a "No Nonsense Presidency". they seem to be on board. not all are conservative leaning either.

It's a worldwide movement against socialism/globalism. We had Brexit and Trump. France and Germany are next.

So as a guy who makes his living as an enviromental gas tester, let me give you the less politicized viewpoint on this.

First of off, lets castrate the hyperbole from the left extremists about this. The current administration movements guts the administrative level overregulation that has been prevelent in the EPA the last 20 years. it does absolutely nothing to affect the enforcement of bipartisan congressional laws such as the clean air act or acid rain programs. Presidential edicts dont trumph congressional laws. Tjhe epa isnt going away, it just cant make up laws to push some political agenda as easily now... Climate change is both used as a scapegoat and a fearmongering tool to push agenda and make profits for people.

Im frankly sick and tired of this fake idea that all science supports this theory and that the epa hadsnt been used as a hammer to drive industry to countries that pay these politicians through the *** to overregulate them here.

Look, the original air pollution rules were great. we dropped so2 emmissions from 2000-3000ppm to single digits in most plants, and less than 100 in most others. the goal of 90% reduction was correctly estimated and the cap and trade laws worked great at the time. We moved Nox emmissions and Co2 emission to near negligible in many sources. the problem is the recent rules try to take virtually nothing and drop it even further, pushing the boundries of our technical abilities and frankly having no scientific common sense behind them. We pushed HG limits that are nothing but money dumps, since properly scrubbed units have virtually no Hg emissions that matter. we targeted further reduction of PET based off of random made up guesses of asthma cases we might prevent... despite tons of proof that the claims were total BS.

This was all specifically to drive certain industries overseas, where they cann pollute even more than here and where we even sell them the resources to do so...

This part of his agenda I wholeheartedly support. The epa needed reigned in and this climate change crap is being way oversold
