Is Trump conrolled by the fossil fuel lobby?

The rest of the G20 (all 19 others) rebuke Trump and continue with the Paris deal.

The Paris deal itself is nowhere near strong enough but is at least a step forward. The lobbyists and neo-con pacs who are 'informing' Trump will have none of it though because it threatens their bottom line. Oligarchic cowboy capitalism is killing the planet and Trump is their figurehead.

Fossil fuels are still the new gold. When an entire world economy is based on exploration , discovery, acquisition , and refinement of fossil fuels that power the entire world . AND is the major component of every nation's national security ..., it makes sense that Trump would use our abundance to right the ship the left has been trying to sink . The Paris accord was obama's attempt to allow the globalists to take from the American people. India and China are the worlds polluters , still going strong and without a peep from the globalist scum . It's about a money grab from the US ,nothing more . Trump promised AMERICA FIRST , and that's what he's delivering .

@TexChik You contradict yourself by implying that climate change is a globalist hoax and then say that China and India are the world's polluters.

The idea of the deal is that everyone reduces emissions. 19 of the G20 are prepared to do so. This is by definition a global issue because it concerns the planet.

When New York and Florida are underwater and when Hurricane Katrinas happen every year he will have succeeded?

@Burnley123 Not at all, rather your (globalist left) hypocrisy with regards to China's and India's pollution clearly indicated the accord was only about getting your hands on
America's money and nothing to do with "global warming". The global warming business is very lucrative...Just ask Al Gore. Its a multi billion dollar industry that is based on a predicted percentage of one degree change in the ambient temperature over the next 100 years.

@TexChik The idea of an international agreement is that its everyone's money. The G20 leaders are not left globalists btw. The protesters outside were.

@Burnley123 apparently not...its idea only. America seemed to be the only one paying

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@TexChik Not true. The US was the single biggest contributor but other nations pay more per capita.

The figures are a drop in the ocean btw. The US annual defense budget is $598 billion.

@Burnley123 it really doesn't matter , because American dollars and American sovereignty are now back in the control of Americans

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@TexChik Nope. They are in control of oligarchs who care more about profit than planetary destruction. They are 'Muricans too though so its OK with you.

@Burnley123 right brittard... you are so full of information that just is not true . Seems to be all the rage with you and your ilk .

@TexChik Whooooay! 😂

After five comments Texchik finally uses the 'tard insult. It must be a record for you to take so long. By your low standards that takes manners and restraint. 😜

TexChik · F

@Burnley123 it's a fact, not an insult .... get used to it

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@TexChik You are uniquely lacking in manners, self-awareness and intellect. 😘
