So last week Donald Trump rejected the Paris Accords on climate.
This rejection caused a firestorm in the media. Some commentators wrote that that our grandchildren would die from the coming climate changes. Some in the media and in online sites were furious that the United States, given world opinion,would back away from the Paris Accords.

Some observations.
How many of those commentators—and how many of you, whatever your opinions—have read the “Paris Accords?” I haven’t. I don’t intend reading them. Like most of you, I have to earn a living every day. I don't have the time. I do know that before the United States pulled out, both Progressives and Conservatives sharply attacked the Accords, the former for the weakness of the agreement, the latter for the reasons cited by President Trump.
Unlike the United States, China did sign the Paris Accords. Interesting. Read the article below or more simply click “Chinese air pollution” on YouTube to see Chinese standards on pollution. Or just look at the above photo.

Then read the article below for some further thoughts on climate change and the Paris Accords.

Finally, four countries--China, the United States, Russia, and India--are the world’s worst polluters. The United States has given one billion dollars to the Green Climate Fund. The other three? Not a dime. Zip. Nada.
Surprised?
