Trump Signs Executive Order Pulling U.S. From Paris Climate Accord
And by not attending the Davos conference, Trump now leads other international leaders in “quiet quitting” globalist environmental rules that have only strangled their economies and hurt their peoples.
After his election win in November, I wrote that President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has prepared executive orders to withdraw the US from the Paris Climate Agreement and open up western lands for drilling and mining:
(a) The United States Ambassador to the United Nations shall immediately submit formal written notification of the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The notice shall be submitted to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Depositary of the Agreement, attached as Appendix A. The United States will consider its withdrawal from the Agreement and any attendant obligations to be effective immediately upon this provision of notification.
This executive order was among the first he signed in the festive post-inauguration parade signing ceremony in the Capital One Arena.
…He intends to streamline permitting and review regulations that “impose undue burdens on energy production and use, including mining and processing of non-fuel minerals,” according to a list of priorities from Trump’s press office.
He also intends to take action to end land and water leasing for wind energy, and undo the Biden administration’s actions that promote electric vehicles.
Trump views energy prices as central to his mission to address widespread frustrations with the cost of living, and has argued that slashing red tape will help drive down energy prices and fight overall inflation.
“The inflation crisis was caused by massive overspending and escalating energy prices,” Trump said during his inaugural address. “That’s why today I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill.”
The crowd very enthusiastically cheered his signing of the order.
🚨BREAKING: President Trump has officially withdrawn the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, fulfilling a campaign promise and aligning with his administration’s focus on boosting fossil fuel production.

The full title of that order is: “Putting America First in Environmental Agreements”.
The whole suite of newly signed presidential orders is listed on the highly revamped White House website. This executive order’s “Implementation” portion heavily targets funding commitments.
…(c) The United States Ambassador to the United Nations, in collaboration with the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury, shall immediately cease or revoke any purported financial commitment made by the United States under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
…(e) The U.S. International Climate Finance Plan is revoked and rescinded immediately. The Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall, within 10 days of this order, issue guidance for the rescission of all frozen funds.
In his pre-signing remarks, Trump looked at the largest contributor of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel emissions….China.
“I am officially withdrawing the United States from the Paris Climate Accord – a one-sided deal that hurts American industries while letting China pollute freely. We will no longer cripple our economy for a globalist agenda!”

As an added bonus, Trump does not plan to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum this year in Davos. In fact, many international leaders are “quiet quitting” globalist environmental agreements that do nothing more than strangle their economies and hurt their people.
While Donald Trump, who is being inaugurated as U.S. president on Monday, is expected to address the forum via live video link on Thursday, a number of key leaders will be completely absent from the event.
These include Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, as well as French President Emmanuel Macron, Italy’s leader Giorgia Meloni and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Of the Group of Seven (G7) industrialized nations — which includes the U.S., Europe’s biggest economies, Canada and Japan — the only head of state attending the summit in person is outgoing German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
I am looking forward to energy independence and regulations that properly balance reasonable environmental concerns with effective natural resource development.

I’m far from home, sitting in a hotel bar, nursing a martini, as is my want, watching the NCAA football championship on one screen and DJT holding court in the Oval Office as he signs EO after EO.
If you only watch him for five minutes you’re getting more than a year’s worth of what the demented pedophile offered the press.
The next four years are not going to be easy – those of us who lived through that b@$t@td Carter and the dawn of the Reagan era clearly remember – but we’re on our way back.
God Bless America.
Cheers
You know what?
Getting old sucks generally.
But one thing that’s great is the perspective of time.
The barrier beach of my youth is still there in spite of the oh-so-urgent threat of sea level rise
And a dozen other nonsensical claims.
Leave it as this – God can wipe us all off this little spinning rock anytime
That braying of the acolytes of Gore are frivolous.
So much winning…
The Paris Climate Accord is literally a Choose Your Own Adventure “agreement”. Nonetheless, this is an important symbolic gesture.
It’s more than symbolic. It’s a great big kick in the balls to the left…which of course is an impossibility since those bastards lost their balls a long time ago!!
How about an Executive Order prohibiting any employee or agent of the United States government from attending the World Economic Forum and the expenditure of any federal money for anyone to attend (including making any private expenditures not deductible for tax purposes)?
Hooray! Trump is off to a good start. My confidence in him is rapidly getting restored in only one day. Global Warming has become a state religion in the Anglo-sphere and most of western Europe– particularly Germany. The Germans are normally a very smart people when it come to physics and engineering. I know a physicist at the Max Plank Institute for Quantum Optics. He’s an author of the best book on inertial confinement fusion. Göttingen was once the world center for mathematics before the Nazis purged all the Jews and destroyed it. Today another terrible government is trying to destroy the country by adopting insane energy policies.
Taking the US out of the Paris Accord provides a good start to restoring sanity to energy policy. I only wish Trump would take the US out of the UN, but I guess that’s too much to hope for.
We need to teach the public that physics is not democratic. A lesson from history. In 1931 a book came out: “Hundert Autoren gegen Einstein,” or 100 authors against Einstein. Some of the authors were real physicists. Of course their criticisms were nonsense. An English translation is now available on Amazon. We see the same thing today with assertions that a majority of scientists agree that GW is a major threat.
You mean the, ‘United States Cripples Its Energy Production And Economy While The Rest Of The World Does Whatever It Wants’ Accords
This is great not only for America but also for the world!!
One way to bring costs down AROUND the world is to make energy production cheaper and the one clear way to doing that is removing American demand from the world oil and gas trade!!
Once those American oil and gas resources are being fully exploited it will help everyone else as by bringing down the cost of oil and gas as American resources flood in to the market!! And if your a dumb ass supporting the war in the Ukraine then you’ll naturally be happy that Russias oil revenues will also be reduced thanks to American oil being available and driving costs down across the board!!
And another way costs will come down will hopefully be DOGE if Elon is successful. Massively reducing government waste and inefficiency will at least have a huge effect in our nation and probably be felt in other parts of the world too.
So, countries that produce half of the CO2 in the world already were not going or doing much to stop their emissions but the US was hamstringing itself at their expense. Good to see Trump pull the US out of that crap. If bureaucrats and progressives want to do something like that Paris thing then a Treaty is the proper way not “agreements”.
If climate change is on the way out, the politicians will have to cook up another scam to enrich themselves at the expense and inconvenience of the gullible, general public.
Now get oil rich Texas out of the windmill circus
30-% of our energy grid is attached to freaking windmills, which Abbott has done nothing about
Failures are historic
I wish Trump
Would ban them all together, except for yard ornaments
While your at it Presidents
Trump, please ban toll
Roads!!!
I really hope somewhere in that EO it was also mentioned that no governmental expenditures will ever be spent on things that look and smell like a treaty, but are NOT because they were never ratified, as the Constitution requires.
