It took the CEO of Goldman Ballsachs, Lloyd Blankfein, six years to find the inspiration and the courage to speak out in the world of Twitter. He has finally done so. Joining fellow executives, and world leaders, in decrying the President’s action in removing the United States from the world saving Paris accord, Blankfein expressed his deep dismay that America will not be participating in global warming rackets.
Today's decision is a setback for the environment and for the U.S.'s leadership position in the world. #ParisAgreement

Elon Musk manufactures electric cars. Ergo, he removed himself from associating with the President.
Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.

GE’s Jeff Immelt is disappointed.
Disappointed with today’s decision on the Paris Agreement. Climate change is real. Industry must now lead and not depend on government.

The world has changed, forever.

Clearly trump is smarter than these asshats…. right?
Iger? Disney’s crowning glory is successfully lobbying to get copyright extended again and again, while at the same time destroying public access to vast amounts of art and literature. Right now the copyright period on Mickey Mouse is 1928 to 2024. When Disney’s rights to Mickey, Donald, etc expire, their worth will go to zero.
Musk? Got fabulously wealthy from taxpayer subsidy. Should have gone bust in 2008.
Blankfein? Does he comprehend that his going on Twitter will open the gates to Hell?
Blankfien hasn’t heard of the term, “weaponized autism” apparently.
Think of all the Green energy bond issuance that GS just lost, the subsidized money that TSLA and SCTY will miss out on, and the wind engine turbines that GE will not build with government funds.
All of these fuckers are sucking of the government teet, of course they are pissed. Fuck them
These guys too?
https://climate.nasa.gov
Yes, all funded through federal taxpayer dollars. Its called enlightened self interest. Why derail the gravy train.
Especially these guys. NOAA and NASA are the sources of the fudged warming data. #Drain the swamp

and don’t forget trading carbon credits was a big thing for the vampire squid too.
“Disappointed with today’s decision on the Paris Agreement. Climate change is real. Industry must now lead and not depend on government.”
What a concept Jeff….Let innovation drive the cost of green energy down instead of subsidizing it with taxpayer money to no avail.
As soon as government subsidies disappear from Solar/Wind/Electric Cars/ the timeline to profitability in those industries will be accelerated 10 fold. Until then, who the fuck cares if you can build it efficiently…the Gov is gonna keep throwing money at you for your stupid fucking ideas.
Why does this mean ruin? I don’t get it. We don’t have to step backwards at all; yet, Musk leaves when he should be most engaged?!
Business will still do good, innovating to make green and friendly products that people want. Utilities and such will answer to shareholders, as with Exxon and its recent shareholder vote.
Ok, maybe us leaving ruins their budget for poor countries but they benefit from our advances anyway, not like they have to reinvent the solar panel.
The agreement is a mere 2 years old and we’re halfway to our goal already. Big deal. Sure, we should be in it but nothing tragic if we aren’t.
whatever helps you sleep at night
Can someone explain to me why the Narrative was changed from “Global Warming” to “Climate Change”?
Seems like these are conflicting narratives….Serious question? how can they both kill us?
The government wants Green energy so bad yet they do nothing to stop the utility companies around the country from attaching an additional “solar fee” to your utility bill if you put solar panels on your house, making it economically disadvantageous to do so….Someone also explain to me where the green energy enthusiasts in the Government are on this?
“UN climate officials have admitted global wealth redistribution is a key purpose of the Paris treaty.”

Fuck globalism
All this winning is really getting out of control
If Trump cures cancer and brings world peace they will cry and be against it! Screw them all!!! Assholes that they are.
Whoa. Slow down the squirrel. Trump can’t even spell.
Jeff Immelt – ” Industry must now lead and not depend on government.”
YES! That is the idea!!!
exactly
Industry already leads; they just won’t be able to blame the government any more.
Any time a disrupter shows up, whether a new technology or a new person, those with the most power or wealth to lose because of the inability or unwillingness to adapt to change, squeal the loudest and complain the most.
How much would a tweet from Trump regarding corporate subsidies lop off Elon Musks wealth? He has made his fortune on the back of the US tax payer. Perhaps he should keep quiet.
