The boondoggle called the Paris Agreement, which aims to keep the planet’s thermostat within a degree celsius of where it is now, the ideal temperature, has been around for seven years today, but as President Joe Biden notes, the United States hasn’t been a part of the agreement for the whole time. There were those years during the Trump administration when the U.S. pulled out of the climate agreement, but Biden proudly notes that he got us back in upon his inauguration.
He also adds that “we” signed into law the largest climate investment in history — a billion a trillion 750 million dollars billion dollars — in the form of something deceptively called the Inflation Reduction Act.
Today, we celebrate seven years of the Paris Agreement – and nearly two years since I got us back in.
Since then, we signed into law the largest climate investment in history, prioritized environmental justice, and moved closer to our ambitious goals.

The only thing you've gotten us into is an inflation crisis and record-setting national debt.

We can pay more taxes to make the weather more gooder!

Your ambitious goal of reducing us to third world status

Yep, signed into losing the jobs of thousands of Americans. Putting us even closer to an energy crisis. Climate investment is nothing short of more taxes for Americans.

This deal is as bad as the deal you got with that basketball player.

True.
This is just an agreement for the highest of virtuous people to parade their status around. While accepting billions in tax funding that will do almost nothing.

Invest in American oil and nuclear energy. That’s our only way to energy independence. Thank me later.

No climate change activist is to be taken seriously if they don’t put nuclear energy on the table.
Climate investment = climate heist

An accord with zero teeth to it because during this time, countries like China and India have barely quadrupled their pollution. All this does is place a higher tax burden on Americans.

Eat bugs and live in an upside-down egg crate.
Many of our houses are bad for the planet; and despite an improvement in building energy efficiency, 2021 saw carbon emissions from construction hit an all-time high.
But around the world, innovative homes are being designed to be more sustainable. https://t.co/MND42znFIn

Fix the damn border
— Terry Fulk (@TerryWFulk1) December 12, 2022
There are more important things going on than the border, like having Taiwan build plants that make “three nanochips, three nanochip, chips that are three nano.”
