Trump's Withdrawal From Paris Deal Is Good For The Poor

Trump's Withdrawal From Paris Deal Is Good For The Poor — And For Your Health

Jane M. Orient, M.D. has a really good editorial today at Investor's Business Daily.

Excerpt:

And "food and water insecurity" from climate change? What about from energy rationing? In 1979, the late Isaac Asimov wrote that the worst imminent catastrophe, one which could bring down human civilization, was energy starvation. Abundant energy is necessary for modern life itself, as well as for remedying problems ranging from pollution to water shortage.

What about heat waves, and people perishing from heat-related illnesses? The physicians tout the health benefits of walking and bike-riding, but say nothing about turning off the air conditioning in Miami.

The consortium doesn't get into these details. Presumably, they are unimportant in view of the "broad consensus" — leaving out some 31,000 scientists who disagree — that "climate change" (they are no longer sure it will be global warming) could cause "irrevocable damage" without "aggressive, concerted efforts" to "curb greenhouse gas emissions."

The imminent, serious threat to public health is energy poverty. The world, and especially the poorest and most vulnerable, owe President Trump a huge debt of gratitude for his strong leadership in facing down the powerful interests intent on harming America through the Paris regime.
