Delingpole: Urgent Memo to Donald Trump—Biggest Threat to the Environment Are Environmentalists

Did you hear the scary rumor at the weekend that President Trump was about to renege on his promise to quit the UN Paris Climate Agreement?

The good news is that it was #fakenews. (Shame on you, WSJ!)

The bad news is that it wasn’t so implausible as to make anyone go “Donald Trump? Cave to the Greenies?? That would never happen in a million years!!!”

Because the fact is, he still could very easily.

Sadly this will be one of those things that we look back on in the future and think "if only we would have acted then". Instead we trust the men in suits with their fingers in big oil companies that stand to make a higher profit the more we ignore climate change data. Melting of the ice caps? Easier shipping lanes for their products and easier access to natural gas fields up north. Follow the money trails and it will lead straight to the lawmakers.

Warmer climate means more oil sold?

8:57 Melting ice caps ensure easier delivery routes from the north that do not need to be paved with ice-breakers and will be potentially be open year round rather than seasonally. A disregard for environmental protection regulation means that refineries will continue to be opened and that natural gas can/will be fracked for. Once current reserves are depleted oil companies will move to the more dangerous reserves on the sea floor or in mountains leading to increased chances for an environmental disaster.

The world is actually trending, slowly, away from petroleum based energy however the big wigs especially here in the US want you to believe the science is incorrect and we have nothing to worry about so they can continue to refine and sell you oil for many generations to come.

Once again 1 volcano spews more pollution in the air than all of mankind since the beginning of time and usually about 4 going off at a time so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I can explain climate change to you in a few seconds. In the winter the weather is cold, but in the summer it changes to hot. This my friends is climate change in a nutshell. It is not man-made. The weather and the earth go in cycles this is proven fact. So all this climate change, global warming stuff is just a lot of B.S. And the main reason for that and the Paris Climate Agreement was all just for the redistribution of wealth. They want to take money from the United States and give it to third world countries to help them to control emissions. But instead of doing anything about pollution they spend the money for whatever else they want. That is why when Trump pulled out the other countries said they were going to leave also because they were just there to get a handout from the U.S.
