Deflection??? You brought up Trump's voracious ego and adulation from his base. Should I not have brought up those very same qualities about Obama and Biden? Obama truly did have adulation from his base and I brought up an example of that. I disagreed about Trump having any adulation from his base. We simply liked the accomplishments he made for America.

I had thought from your post there would be no cost. You might recall I specifically asked about Billions of dollars spent. Your answer sort of led me to believe each country would just do its best to keep the temperature down by 1.5 to 2 degrees. Then I saw there was a 2 Billion dollar cost to the United Nations. I am curious as to where THAT money, 2 Billion dollars is going to be spent, whose pocket(s) will it go into. Shouldn't everyone be curious as to what that money will be spent on?

Very interesting. I loved reading the comments at the end. The first person stated that everyone accepted climate change except for the Republicans. My exact words, not his. I find it comical that those words were not true then nor are they now. I am a Republican. I believe in climate change. I see it for myself when areas I hunt years ago were covered in snow and today, not so much. Yes there is climate change.

But my belief is that the earth has always been changing and nothing much we mere mortals will do to stop that change. Can anyone tell me the climate was not different millions of years ago? Swamp to ice age etc. Who can tell me the earth is not simply warming again as it has for millions of years. At some point when I won't be here, none of us will, it will most likely cool again.

Democrats want us to send Billions of dollars to the Paris Accord that President Trump dropped out of. I have asked numerous times right here. What will the money be used for? Not one person has supplied an answer. So here we are in America, once again, being asked to pay for a problem that affects the entire planet and apparently nobody has any idea how the money will be used? Research, shooting rockets up into the atmosphere to seed rain clouds, putting cash into some politicians pocket? How??? Yet we are just supposed to send them money. I can't help but wonder if some Nigerian Prince is behind all of this.

We were talking about Trump's abrogating the Paris Accords. Neither Biden nor Obama had anything to do with that, dragging them into the "discussion" was deflection on your part. Certainly Trump reveled in the adoring crowds at his rallies, he is a born huckster and con artist. Neither Obama nor Biden have those "talents," for which we should all be grateful, IMHO.
Certainly an audit of the Green Climate initiative would be in order. In no way did I suggest that each country would "just do its best" to keep the temperature rise 1.5 or 2 degrees, probably Centigrade. Nor did I say or imply that slowing or stopping climate change would be cost-free.

Thanks for posting that. I ALMOST quit reading when I saw Greta Thunberg's name. I won't get into the idiocy of the Left putting their eggs in her basket. But I will say my 13 year old granddaughter has said the same thing about keeping air clean and living in a clean environment. I am sure millions of people have said the same thing. Yet they are not on the cover of Time Magazine.

But this of course is not all about that idiotic little kid. I do appreciate what some companies are doing for the world. Great!!! But again, why would America send Trillions of dollars to the Paris Accord?

Don't forget, William Nordhaus won a Nobel Prize for work that concluded that current climate models (not those extrapolated a couple of decades ago) show a far lower increase in temperatures than predicted, AND that until actual climate changes exceed the new models' prediction, it is economically detrimental to install Draconian taxation, carbon taxes, and other measures to reduce climate change. Not only does Nordhaus represent "science" but represents Nobel winning science.

According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by a little more than 1° Celsius (2° Fahrenheit) since 1880.

I ask you, what is the perfect temperature for the earth? Can we demonstrate that one setting on the global thermostat is preferable over another? What is our goal? I don’t ask this flippantly to you of the Party of Science. Would a warmer climate in some areas actually improve living conditions? Would such improvement (health, crop production, lifestyle) balance any negative impact from this phenomenon?
