Why the Paris Climate Change Agreement MUST GO!
We will find out this afternoon if President Trump will pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate change treaty, which was never ratified by the Senate.
For those who are unaware, the reason it was not put before the Senate was because it would not have been approved. The former president then went into secret deals with the U.N. to transform a former treaty into the Paris “agreement”, thus enabling the former administration to falsely claim Senate approval was not necessary.
We owe the other signatories to the agreement nothing. They were complicit in violating our Constitution.
ACEA and PIK declare that by 2040 all new trucks sold need to be fossil-free
Europe’s truck manufacturers have concluded that by 2040 all new trucks sold need to be fossil free in order to reach carbon-neutrality by 2050. It will be possible to meet this target provided the right charging/refueling infrastructure is built and a coherent policy framework is put into place, including comprehensive CO
2 pricing to drive the transition.
To develop their roadmap to carbon-neutrality by 2050 at the latest, the CEOs of Europe’s commercial vehicle manufacturers, under the umbrella of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), have joined forces with leading scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).

Truckmakers To Kill The Combustion Engine In Europe By 2040 ++ Different technologies will be used for the different stages of heavy-duty transportation.
September marked the first time in history when hybrid, plug-in, and fully electric cars combined outsold diesels in Europe. There’s little doubt this trend will expand even further in the coming months and years, as the Old continent is preparing for zero-emission mobility by the middle of the century. Some of the world’s largest truckmakers have also just agreed the sector will go CO2-free relatively soon.
Daimler, Scania, Man, Volvo, Daf, Iveco, and Ford have signed a pledge to stop selling vehicles with internal combustion engines by 2040, a full decade earlier than initially planned. The industry aims to spend between €50bn and €100bn ($61bn-$122 bn) on developing hydrogen, battery, and clean fuel technologies.
