EPA-UN climate deal uncovered
< < Go Back
While President Trump is wisely withdrawing the United States from the UN’s ill-conceived Paris climate accord, there is another UN agreement that also needs to be scrapped.
CFACT Senior policy analyst Bonner Cohen uncovered a “side agreement” President Obama’s EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy made with the UN that could be used to resurrect UN climate policies here in the United States.
Cohen explains that a relatively unknown “Memorandum of the Understanding,” (MOU) commits the EPA and UN to “achieve their common goals and objectives in the field of the environment.”
In other words, even though there’s no formal treaty or agreement, bureaucrats at EPA are given instruction to carry out radical UN environmental objectives like killing fossil fuel production, hammering auto makers with costly vehicle mandates, enacting carbon taxes, and letting subsidies for inefficient wind and solar run wild.
