Dear Editor: Letter writer Patricia Kenney tells us that the evidence of climate change is irrefutable. The Paris agreement on climate change is nothing more than President Obama’s effort at income redistribution from the United States to Third World countries.

Article 9 of the agreement requires each country to “pledge” to reduce pollution. Each pledge was accepted without question. The sum of many pledges to do nothing is: nothing.

In return for vague pledges, President Obama committed the United States to lead the transfer of $100 billion in annual “climate finance” from the developed world to the developing countries that are pledging nothing.

The U.S. is $20 trillion in debt … $200 trillion when counting unfunded liabilities.

If you have a spare $100 billion, let’s use it to take care of our vets, bring business to minority communities, build the wall to secure our borders and repair crumbling roads and bridges.
