Never has such an inconsequential agreement been the cause of so much silly alarmism. Bjorn Lomborg demonstrated quite some time ago that the Paris Agreement would have virtually no impact but would impose enormous costs. Getting out was the right thing for the US to do.
Opinion / Paris Climate Accord
We should be glad the US is out of the Paris Climate Agreement
Foreword: Following President Trump’s exit from the Paris Climate Treaty, a number of states, cities, universities, companies and institutions formed a “We are still in” consortium. Its members insist that they remain committed to Paris and are determined to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and prevent climate change. As our article explains, this is all puffery and belief in tooth fairies. The issues and questions we raise ought to shame and embarrass WASI members – for spending countless billions of other people’s dollars to prevent an undetectable and irrelevant 0.01 degrees of global warming. We also ask whether jurisdictions within WASI states can take the “progressive” route and declare themselves sanctuary cities or counties, to protect their jobs and families against WASI dictates. Perhaps our article will persuade more Americans to make their voices heard, ask hard questions – and start resisting The Anti-Trump Resistance. . . . .
