"The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on climate change. It was adopted by 196 Parties (countries) at COP 21 in Paris, on 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016.
Its goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
To achieve this long-term temperature goal, countries aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve a climate neutral world by mid-century.
The Paris Agreement is a landmark in the multilateral climate change process because, for the first time, a binding agreement brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects."
Other than the name, because it was signed there, it has nothing to do with Paris. It's about the entire planet, you jackass!
Ted Cruz would like people to believe that Southwestern PA is still all coal mines and steel mills. That Pittsburgh is like drab, dank scene from "The Deer Hunter." (side note: a great deal of that movie was shot in Ohio as well as PA, WV, WA and Thailand)
Yes, Pittsburgh still has manufacturing jobs. Pittsburgh 5 leading industries are Advanced Manufacturing, Healthcare, Financial and Business Services, Information and Technology and Energy. Cruz wants dummies to believe that only means gas and coal, but it's just as much about Solar, Wind, Nuclear and Intelligent Buildings. Pittsburgh has been changing for many years now. As far as "Rust Belt" cities go, it's been well ahead of the curve in adapting and changing with the times. When the housing market took a shit a number of years back and the economy went in the shitter, "Rust Belt" cities got wrecked. But the housing market in the Pittsburgh area held strong and didn't go in the tank, because the region had already started adapting and drawing White Collar industries and companies there.
Having been born and raised in Cleveland, I hate having to defend Pittsburgh, but facts are facts and Ted Cruz and Trumpism doesn't want you to know facts. Including the fact that he wanted every single vote from Pennsylvania thrown out. But suddenly he is pretending to be the great defender of PA from Texas. The same fucking guy from Texas that filed a lawsuit against PA to throw out our votes.
I have repeatedly asked Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and many other Republican Assholes to come to PA and tell me to my face why my vote and the votes of millions of Pennsylvanians shouldn't have counted. They won't. He won't. Because he knows he's full of shit. Because he's a coward. Trump said Cruz's father killed JFK. Cruz took it. Trump said Cruz's wife was ugly. Not only did he take it, he became Trump's bitch and carried all his lies, misinformation, and treason.
Every move Ted Cruz has made in the last year and every move he continues to make will be solely to get Trump's support and the support of Trump's cult to back his run for the Presidency in 2024.
Don't trust him. Don't believe him. Don't support him.
Fuck You Ted Cruz!
Sincerely,
Angry Pennsylvanian
