UNFCCC Accord de Paris

[Zymologist]

Apparently the new president of France, Emmanuel Macron, is extending an offer of sanctuary to all of the climate scientists that he envisions are now fleeing from the U.S.

It's just these sort of hysterics that makes it hard to take these guys seriously.

Got some climate scientists to hunt!

I'm a denier.
I don't believe climate scientists exist.

No actually it is your biased ignorance that makes it hard to take these guys seriously.

How about the German newspaper Berliner Kurier (Berlin Courier) with an angry f-word you to trump in large letters across its cover?

If they leave, and I hope they do, then I say good riddance! At least then these "researchers" will stop wasting our tax dollars on this con.

I can't imagine all these countries being so angry about "climate change" which is destroying our planet at a literally undetectable rate. I can only assume their ire is because the President has wisely denied them the opportunity to enrich themselves off the hard working backs of American tax payers.

The failing EU economies just find another way - like suing American companies for utter nonsense.
They're working up a case against Google as we speak.
They think they'll get 9 billion dollars.

Can you show us a list of "Climate Scientists" fleeing America? If not don't play the fool.

Yep. Just today:

Vermont to Join US Climate Alliance:

Republican Gov. Phil Scott says Vermont is joining a coalition of states committed to upholding the Paris climate agreement despite President Donald Trump's decision to leave the historic international pact.

The U.S. Climate Alliance was formed by the Democratic governors of California, New York and Washington after Trump's announcement Thursday.

The governors of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island also announced Friday that their states would be joining the alliance.

Notably that's a Republican governor doing the right thing! Apparently not the entire party is covfefe.

So that's California, New York, Washington, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont all on board. Unless I've mucked up the math, that's 1/4 of the US population worth of states on board with it. And if large cities from other states sign on, which they already have, then it could easily bring the figure up to 50% of US population signed on.

It's like CNN pushing the headline this morning that "10 States Defy Trump!" as if the entire population of those states are marching in lockstep to the beat of global warming alarmism. What the headline should say: "10 Governors Defy Trump!" which isn't nearly as sensationalistic.

But you know what? This is how the US works, the power rests with the individual states. If these governors want to abide by the Paris agreement then that's their prerogative. Trump did the right thing not to agree to an enforceable treaty that puts the US at a distinct economic disadvantage.

[demi-conservative]

Regardless, many leading figures in the US are by-passing the president and his ignorant politically-motivated approach toward climate change...so important do they think the issue to be.

If they actually cared, they would have made yuge, significant changes long ago, starting with own lifestyle of theirs. They're just taking opportunity to signal 'look how prog I am!!!!' and progtards like you and Starlight fall for PR stunt.

It's same standard fake lib crap, like 'look how much I care about environment!!!' Al Gore polluting his way to peace prize.
