Wednesday, 16 November 2016 Globalists Tell Trump That Climate Deal Is Irreversible; It's Not! Written by Steve Byas
In a bold attack upon our national sovereignty, French President François Hollande (shown, left) and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (shown, center) insisted on Tuesday that the United States “must respect the commitments it has undertaken” with the global 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, because the agreement is “irreversible.” But it is not.
Though President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry certainly made a “commitment” to the deal last year, the U.S. Senate did not. And, under the Constitution of the United States, which is the “supreme law of the land," the president does have the power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties but only provided two thirds of the senators present concur (Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution).
Hollande told representatives from almost 200 nations, meeting in Morocco, that inaction to stop “global warming” would be “disastrous for future generations and it would be dangerous for peace.”
It is not clear exactly how such inaction would be “dangerous for peace"; however, ignoring the clear wording of the U.S. Constitution would certainly be deadly for the concepts of liberty, respect for the Constitution, and the national sovereignty of the United States.
Hollande and Ban were architects of the Paris Agreement, and called upon President-elect Trump to revoke his campaign pledge to cancel the global climate-change deal, which proposes to shift the world from fossil fuels to cleaner energies. Trump has called man-made global warming a hoax.
Hollande declared, “The United States, the largest economic power in the world, the second largest greenhouse gas emitter, must respect the commitments it has undertaken.”
Ban agreed, insisting, “What was once unthinkable has become unstoppable."
The 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change went into effect on November 4, but it has never been ratified by the U.S. Senate. Therefore, the United States has never made any “commitment” to it, regardless of what Obama and Kerry have said or done.
Ban predicted that Trump would change his mind, because he is a “very successful business person" who would understand that the world economy is shifting away from fossil fuels toward “cleaner energies,” such as wind and solar. “I am sure he will make a fast and wise decision,” Ban insisted, adding that he hoped to meet with Trump soon.
Trump, on the other hand, has declared that he will boost the U.S. coal, oil, and shale industries, despite Obama’s announced goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions to 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.
Ban stated that many corporate giants, as well as states such as California, were already working to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, dozens of nations have reaffirmed support for the Paris Agreement at the talks. Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said that his country was “committed to meeting the world’s energy needs via the gradual transition towards a more environmentally sustainable future.”
Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe likewise strongly supports the Paris deal. “It’s a matter of life and death,” he claimed, adding, “Let’s not squander the Paris Agreement through old bad habits.”
