Paris protests are about rising gas taxes but the dishonest American media won’t tell you why: “Climate change”

When POTUS Donald Trump said during his 2016 campaign that, if elected, he would withdraw the United States from the “terrible” Paris Climate Accords deal to which his predecessor, Barack Obama, had committed the United States.
There were some grumblings at the time, particularly among the Left-wing “establishment” media and cable news commentariat, but since nobody in official Washington believed that Candidate Trump had a chance in Hades of winning the White House, not much else was said.
But then Trump did win and suddenly the America Leftist media and its chattering class — all of whom believe in ‘human-caused climate change’ as a religion — really began to fret: Was the new president serious? Would he dare to leave an agreement foisted upon him by the globalist elite of whom he could never become a member? Who does he think he is, anyway?
Sure enough, POTUS announced in June 2017, just six months after taking office, that America would withdraw from the agreement. Whether or not you agreed with his decision, you need only look at the massive protests occurring in Paris to fully understand why POTUS made the right choice.
What’s that, you say? The protests in Paris have nothing at all to do with the climate accords that were signed there in April 2016.
Oh yes, they do. In fact, the current protests have everything to do with the Paris Accords — but the dishonest American media isn’t reporting on them in that way.
The U.S. press has said that the protests are in response to large fuel tax increases, and that is true insofar as it goes. French President Emmanuel Macron’s government imposed the taxes more than three weeks ago on gasoline and diesel fuel.
But what the American press is not telling readers is that the fuel taxes are really carbon taxes called for in the Paris Accords in order to force drivers to use less fuel — even if they can’t use less fuel because they are already using only what they need to make a living.
