President Donald Trump made a historically courageous
decision to opt out of the Paris Climate Accord. In doing so, he not only saved
the jobs and livelihoods of countless Americans, but exhibited real leadership
that has been lacking in the American presidency since the days after 9/11.
In
making this momentous decision, he went against the wishes of most of the
world’s leaders, the Pope, some giant international business conglomerates,
scores of pseudo-scientists, assorted leftists, cranks and pokenoses, and even
some of his own advisors. This was akin to President Reagan standing down the
“Evil Empire” (a phrase he was strongly advised not to use) at the height of the Cold War. This is an injection of
sanity (from Trump!) in a world gone mad. Unlike Neville Chamberlain, he didn’t
take the easy way out and proclaim “Peace in our time!” while waving a signed
“agreement” in the air.
We
recently saw the end of the Barnum & Bailey circus, called “The Greatest
Show on Earth.” Perhaps Trump’s decision to opt out of the climate accord will
be the beginning of the end of “The Greatest Sham on Earth,” the climate change
hoax. The climate has always been
changing, ever since it, too, was created via the “Big Bang,” which humans
didn’t have control over, either. Mastodons and tar pits in what are now
northern climes. Ice age followed by rapid warming followed by ice age…this has
been the norm. Sun, clouds, day, night, winter, summer, storms, to say nothing
of tectonic plate movements, etc., have been a feature of the Earth since there
was one.
As Mark
Steyn said recently, progressives believe “’We can’t enforce the border. People
are going to be coming in anyway.’ But if you say to them, ‘We can control the
very heavens,’ that, we can do. And it’s actually literally insane.” Yep, we
can’t build a wall to protect our southern border, but we can control the
Earth’s temperature.
The
President is, of course, being assaulted from all sides for his decision, as he
knew he would be. Everyone, foreign and domestic, is taking shots at him.
Billionaire climate activist Tom Steyer called Trump’s decision “a traitorous
act of war against the American people,” which, of course, is exactly the
opposite of reality, a tactic the left uses often and well.
The
German newspaper Berliner Kurier used
the vulgar headline: “Earth to Trump: F**K You!” on its front page, in response
to President Trump’s action. Just real, unbiased news there, right?
Truer
headlines would have read, “Trump to would-be global dictators: F**k You!” And…
“Trump
to Americans: Promise Kept!” And…
“Trump
to Earth: Carry On!”
