To: From: Sent: Subject: Myron EbellfMyron.Ebell@cei.org] Myron Ebeii Wed 4/26/2017 3:42:50 PM Cooler Heads Coalition alert on Paris Climate Treaty The meeting of administration principals is now scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday. It is not expected that they will agree on a recommendation to the President, but may agree on some issues or clarify some differences. Energy Secretary Rick Perry said yesterday that he supports staying in Paris and re-negotiating it. It's not known whether he was briefed on the feasibility of re-opening the treaty. There is no provision for us to withdraw our Nationally Determined Contribution and then submit a less ambitious one. The EU would demand as a condition of re-opening the whole treaty that it include more mandatory requirements. The developing nations would demand better guarantees that the Green Climate Fund will be fully funded and will increase each year. It's also not known whether Perry was briefed on President Trump's other campaign promise to de-fund UN climate programs. Funding the UNFCCC in any amount has been illegal under PL 103-236 since 17th March 2016 when Palestine became a full member. Perhaps Perry has been converted to the cause of expensive and pointless policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and joined the climate-industrial comple--which are a powerful client class at DOE. The National Mining Association voted 26-5 yesterday to support President Trump's campaign promise to withdraw from Paris. It is my understanding that the 5 no votes were from Cloud Peak Energy (the big Wyoming coal company) and four multi-national hardrock mining companies. The Cooler Heads Coalition's May monthly strategy meeting will be on Monday, 22nd May, beginning at 12 noon, at CEI, 1310 L Street, N. W., Seventh Floor.
