    Pittsburgh mayor fires back at Trump’s reference of city

    Fri Jun 2, 2017 12:30PM

    Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto

    The mayor of Pittsburgh has censured US President Donald Trump for his use of the city
    in rationalizing withdrawal from the landmark 2015 global climate agreement reached in Paris.

    In his speech at the White House on Thursday announcing the decision to pull out of the pact,
    Trump said, “In order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United
    States will withdraw from the Paris climate accord… the Paris accord is very unfair at the highest
    level to the United States.”

    “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” he added.

    Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto, a Democrat, was not thrilled with his city’s reference in
    Trump’s remarks.

    He hit back on Twitter when the White House tweeted Trump’s Pittsburgh quote,
    saying that "it's now up to cities to lead" and follow the guidelines laid out in the
    Paris Agreement.

    "As the Mayor of Pittsburgh, I can assure you that we will follow the guidelines
    of the Paris Agreement for our people, our economy & future," Peduto wrote.

    He also rejected Trump’s claim that people of Pittsburgh voted for the Republican
    in the 2016 presidential election.

    "Fact: Hillary Clinton received 80% of the vote in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh stands with
    the world & will follow Paris Agreement,” he asserted.

    US cities rebel against Trump over Paris accord

    In an interview with Britain’s Telegraph newspaper on Friday, Peduto said mayors and
    governors across the United States were uniting to stand behind the Paris deal to fight
    climate change.

    He said he was shocked by Trump's announcement. "I was shocked for two main reasons.
    Firstly, I was at Paris and was one of the 500 mayors from across the world saying the
    water's warm and that we're going to do this," he said.

    "Secondly, it is ironic that he used Pittsburgh in his announcement. Hillary Clinton won
    Pittsburgh with nearly 80% of the vote,” he added.

    Trump has taken a hard stance on climate change; at times calling it a hoax by China.
    He vowed during the election campaign to "cancel" the Paris agreement within 100
    days of becoming president on January 20 in order to bolster US oil and coal giant,
    which bankrolled his campaign.

    The Paris Climate Agreement was negotiated by representatives of 195 countries in Paris
    and went into effect on November 4, 2016.

    A group of 82 mayors, including the mayors of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago,
    said in joint statement they "will adopt, honor, and uphold the commitments to the goals
    enshrined in the Paris Agreement."

    The document initially had 61 signatories but an updated version published on Thursday
    night added another 21. The 82 leaders of cities from Seattle to New York to Arkansas
    said they represent 39 million Americans.

    I see a big change in how posters here use to agree with my anti Elite Establishment puppet government jargon..
    It is like they blindly trust Trump.....

    However,the Elite Establishment is still pulling the strings of the puppet government, without missing a beat.....
    Big oil is still the largest monopoly in the world.....
    Pulling out of the Paris agreement is all you need to know.....

    Wherever there is Oil in the world, you will see a billion dollar US military base in striking distance,
    guarding it as if it were God himself.....

    Whoever controls the oil shall rule this world.......

    It will tenfold now that US is pulling out and diving head first into the vagina of Big oil........

    The US military is not fighting for our freedom..
    The US military is sacrificing our lives in the name of oil......

    Pittsburgh should know.

    I still remember flying over it
    many years ago and asking my Dad what the black smog on the skyline was, looking over he said: that's Pittsburgh.

    Trump has lost a lot of support.
    People seeing through him now.

    US cities, states, companies commit to Paris accord

    The group, which includes three governors, 30 mayors, more than 100 businesses and more than
    80 university presidents, is negotiating with the UN to have its submission accepted alongside
    contributions to the Paris climate deal by other countries.

    "New energy" is useless on an energy density basis. They have to write new rules just for it to survive. It's terrible. It sucks. It pollutes more. It has to be propped up by Daddy Government. I'm so sick of utter idiots pumping "renewables" who have zero knowledge of BTUs. Everyone is laughing at you.

    Yeah, but at what sacrifice? If your children and my children have nothing left but a dying planet, what legacy have you left? That humans were nothing but greedy, stupid fuks who sought wars and mindless "things", while destroying the planet that kept them alive.

    You don't know anything about what you're talking about. The planet has had far more violent "change" before humans were ever around. They have absolutely no idea how much humans influence the weather. China is the no.1 polluter in the world. Yet they didn't have to do shit under the Paris Accord. You can't even drink their water or breathe their air. They have LITERALLY created a semipermanent almost uninhabitable smog cloud around their nation. But you're a complete buffoon who is brainwashed, so don't let facts get in the way of showcasing your idiocy.

    You're damn right. Pittsburgh use to be a smog infested unhealthy city, today its a city of technology and fuk'in winners. The problem has always been stupid old rich fuks like Trump can't the see the possibility of clean air energy. They're too stuck in old ass water and air poisoning planet destroying ways.

    Keep heating the planet you fuks, and see what happens. Keep watch'in polar and mountain ice caps melting and see how much land we'll lose. Hint, hope you don't live in Florida or anywhere along the south east coast, and that's just the beginning.

    Oh look, another dumb fuk, non pro chimed in. Go read a book or search effects of green house gases and who the fuk is causing them, you omega twit. No shit, other countries have problems, that's the entire fuking purpose of the Paris Accord, so we can solve this problem globally not just in the US.

    While you're at it oil loving fuk heads, google "peak oil", and see how much of your precious black poison sludge oil is actually left. YES, is will run the fuk out one day soon and then what, had you sought a modern better way, future generations might have survived.


    Quite a shame really, the ignorance of man. This small blue planet called Earth is a living, breathing wonder of the universe. Nothing as far as we know right now, exist like it anywhere in the comos, and Humans are destroying it over phony ideologies and greed.

    Perfect. Companies can still continue to work on cleaner energy, and keep improving the amount of emissions we put out. Now, we can do that and not foot the bill for other countries that don't do shit to live up to that farce of an agreement. The world is mad because we aren't giving money to them for another bullshit deal. We can still work towards less pollution, cleaner energy, and new energy sources without some moronic accord. Win fckin win.

    In other news, no one gives a fuk about this clown from Pittsburgh. Down the road when Trump's actions on this deal creates jobs no one will remember this guy saying anything. He will probably claim he was joking to not look like an ass clown.

    He should have just said Pennsylvania, not Pittsburgh but it's dumbass semantics. The left would be up in arms if he stayed in it anyway. He can't win with the Libtards, so fck it.

    He needs to just get the damn Republicans behind him, and get some more shit done. Dems won't help him with a damn thing. They wanna obstruct, delay anything, and pray they can somehow win back the Senate, House, or both in 2018.

    Which none will happen. Enough people are intelligent enough to see through the shit, thankfully. They are digging a bigger grave, because anyone with a brain can see they only care about winning, not the well-being of average American people. Yes, Republicans want to win too, more than help as well. Luckily, Trump is neither.
