. . . "The United States was being railroaded in the Paris Climate Agreement but Trump, who has employed an “America First” foreign policy, pulled us out of the deal in June. The president said he would consider reentering the agreement if the terms were renegotiated, but the remaining parties have not made an effort to do so.
“ 'As President, I can put no other consideration before the wellbeing of American citizens. The Paris Climate Accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers — who I love — and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production,” he said at the time.
"And despite the “sky is falling” rhetoric of this set of researchers, another set last week predicted that a mini Ice Age was coming, and it could reverse the damage from supposed global warming, the UK Express reported:
"That is probably because the Earth has been warming and cooling for thousands of years — long before humans and their machines came on the scene.Earth could be plunged into a mini Ice Age in the next few decades, but there is good news – it could override the damage done by global warming.By 2030 comes about, the temperatures on Earth could be so low that the River Thames freezes over during winter, much like in the last little ice age which spanned from the 13th to 17th century.Maths professor Valentina Zharkova at Northumbria University said the Ice Age could help offset the damage of global warming.She said: “I hope global warning will be overridden by this effect, giving humankind and the Earth 30 years to sort out our pollution.”She added any global warming damage that is undone will be instantly reversed again when the next solar maximum begins in the 2050s.
"Humans would be much better off not overestimating our place in the world and assuming what we do, or don’t do, can affect the Earth." . . .
