As a deplorable, I find the Paris climate accord, well, interesting. Mature economies in the United States and Western Europe—countries that largely consume stuff—are held to tighter emission standards than China and India—countries that actually produce stuff.
It seems to me these are political choices, not climate-driven choices.
Think about it: If the climate is as brittle as the left makes it out to be, then why the double standard? I will tell you why: The world’s international elites think the West has had its time in the sun, and it is time now to make room for others. It is simply a scheme to redistribute wealth, just this time on a worldwide scale.
And the left still questions why it lost the 2016 presidential election. Unbelievable.
