Climate Change: Is The Deal Really About Saving The Planet Or Economic Sabotage by maximunimpact(m): 9:53am On Jun 02, 2017
Yesterday United States President Donald Trump pulled out of the 2015 Paris Climate change agreement. He said Ameria will re-enter a renegotiation of the deal.

Trump believes the deal is not fair to America on the long run.

Lets take a look at what this agreement demands from U.S:

- Gives 3Billion a year to other countries from 2020 (countries that may include china and India)
- Destroys manufacturing jobs in the US (over 6 million in the next 23 years) and cost the economy $3 trillion
- Allows China (economic rival) not to do much until 2030 while America pass draconian laws to cripple its own companies immediately
- increase energy costs for the average American

All these for reducing 0.2 degrees of warming by 2100. Keep in mind America is already one of the leaders in clean energy both oil and gas. Yet, liberals want to spend the money they dont have on other nations.

Trump and many other Americans believes this have nothing to do with the science of climate change. The ECONOMICS of this deal is the problem. Europe is now refusing to to renegotiate the Paris Accord. Why? Because it was NEVER about saving the planet - it was about the money America will roll out - more like milking America dry.

Besides believing on the science of climate change is a little bit weired, maybe the whole world is towing the way of gullibility - Trump thinks otherwise! He calls climate change a hoax!

Nigeria just recently signed the pact. Only U.S.A, Syria and Nicaragua turned their backs on the deal.

Many also believes U.S pulling out will weaken their influence politically, but actually agreeing to the Paris accord will weaken America economically.

You should have done a little bit of research yourself as there are a lot of
conspiracy theories around any issue that has a blue/red division.
And Trump is never an authority on any scientific matter, no reputable
scientist will deny the effect of climate change, the argument has always
been whether it was man-made or natural.

Science doesn't rely on faith but evidence, anyone can believe whatever fits their
worldview but it doesn't change the observed evidence.

American manufacturing jobs save secretive defense projects will continue
to be outsourced to countries with cheaper labor i.e China and India and
there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Even Trump's company outsource its manufacturing jobs to china.

While the agreement itself will cost America more money, it is important
to separate sentiments from reality.

What I see is that ill-informed Americans are fighting against the inevitable
decline of the US as an economic and military power, the ship has already
sailed.
