"A Voice Crying Out Of The Wilderness"...

I am certainly not trying to compare myself to the role of John, the Baptist.  However, in modern terms, perhaps I do see my perspective as similar, in calling out the "signs of the times" that I see, primarily through the news media, and calling it a, "generation of vipers", when it seems appropriate.  It seems so, now!

When President Trump announced that he was pulling America out of the so-called "Paris Accord", he explained why very succinctly, I thought.  While I am not convinced of the science of "Global Warming", I realize the possibility of it's correctness, and therefore we should make reasonable efforts to limit the carbon pollution levels, worldwide,  To me, that is exactly why Trump is correct in pulling us out of a deal that claims to do just that, but does not really.  

It is clear that the mostly European countries who orchestrated this are using it as an excuse to soak the American taxpayers.  While our record of cleaning up pollution areas is better than any other country, we pay more than our share "into the kitty", while  the dirtiest polluters in the world, China and India, so "graciously" have agreed to do nothing to limit their pollution, and even have the right to increase it, at will, until the year 2030.  Where is the anti-air-pollution benefit here???  Can they magically keep all the dirty air in their part of the world?  I thought that dirty air in one part of the world eventually polluted us all, but maybe they have figured out a way to change that.  That would be the only reason I could see for allowing such stupid "double standards", and promoting it as effective progress.  As I wrote yesterday, it has been estimated that full compliance with the accord, as written, would only bring about one tenth of one percent change in the overall level of pollution, by that time.  

Plus there is no clear commitment that any money we pay into this will be used to help clean up the air, anywhere!  I suspect it's main purpose is to fatten the bank accounts of the people who dreamed up this scheme!  They're probably the same Socialist thieves who have been soaking us through the United Nations programs, for decades, that do little good, and cost billions to do it, with most of the money ending up in the bureaucrats' pockets!  How long do they expect us to put up with this chicanery?

But the leftist-controlled, mainstream media are "outraged" at Trump's "mindless blunder", in calling a stop to this foolishness.  One suspects that their concern is not for the benefit of the atmosphere, but for the realization that a renewed American greatness means less opportunity to rip off our taxpayers, so they can pocket the largess.

I think John, the Baptist, would certainly call these people a "generation of vipers"!!!
