French surrender on carbon tax upsets allies . . . "Trump gloated on Twitter, “The Paris Agreement is fatally flawed because it raises the price of energy for responsible countries while whitewashing some of the worst polluters … in the world. I want clean air and clean water and have been making great strides in improving America’s environment. But American taxpayers – and American workers – shouldn’t pay to clean up others countries’ pollution.”
"The president misses the point. This is not about protecting the environment. If it were, the globalists would pile on Red China to clean up its act. This is about crippling our economy instead." . . .
French President Macron Suspends Gas Tax But He May Have Won The Too-Little-Too-Late Award . . . "For the past three weeks, France has been hit by large scale riots (see my post on the subject). The cause of the riots is that a stagnant French economy that is strangling in government regulation was made even worse by French President Emmanuel Macron’s virtue-signaling decision to slap a 23% tax on fuel to combat “climate change.” This left many families literally unable to eat some days each month." . . .
It can be harder to take movements seriously when they are promoted by silly celebrities, needing approval from their silly peers. TD
