Listening to the hysteria about the climate, you would think Republicans or Trump who hadn't yet run for office had stopped this non-binding, 3 Trillion dollar worthless agreement in the Senate, but of course, they didn't. It's Obama that stopped the Paris Accord from getting to representatives of the people. He was king, but he's not any more.
The Democratic mayor of Pittsburgh is not happy with what Trump said (he represents Pittsburgh and not Paris), but there are about 10 other towns and cities named Pittsburg, so maybe he's the president of those towns?
Steven Colbert has been using Trump to boost his flagging ratings. This Climate thing will really help. Alternative energy companies can now really develop. Wind mills and solar panels are not forbidden. With a booming economy, and fewer regulations they may actually do much better. And when they are economically viable, they can replace fossil fuel if it's needed.

Remember Mrs. Kerry?
She's the one who lost the cookie baking contest against Laura Bush. Her first husband's name was John Heinz, a Republican politician who died with 6 others in a plane accident. There is a Digital Research Library and Web-based catalog (University of Pittsburgh) for the Library & Archives of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania (HSWP) at the History Center named for him which contains over 29,000 records. The collection is non-circulating materials documenting life in Western Pennsylvania, so having them scanned and available is great. The Reading Room and collections are located at the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center, 1212 Smallman Street, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. If you're doing genealogical research for Pennsylvania family members, you might take a look. I've been browsing an old book on Beaver County where my husband's grandfather and great-grandparents lived. It seems these folks really did come from Scotland (Charles Bruce, d. 1812) way back when.
