PARIS ACCORD DESTROYS JOBS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, it has been estimated the Paris Accord adopted by President Joe Biden will destroy 2.7 million American jobs.
The Washington Examiner, on January 26, exposes more dangers to American families:
``President Biden's decision to rejoin the Paris climate accord immediately delivered . . . a gift to China.
``It commits the United States . . . that will entangle American businesses and jobs in new lengths of red tape, and will also probably increase electricity prices.
``China, which emits twice as much carbon each year as we do, has given the rest of the world nothing but empty promises.
``Biden is giving away the store for nothing . . . he should demand external verification of emissions data. . . .''
Mr. Speaker, in conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
I appreciate President Biden last night recognizing the lives lost by the Wuhan virus, joining President Trump last year, who took the first action to ban travel from China.
