Riots, tear gas, fires, shots, all kinds of horrible things going on in Paris on the Champs-Elysees. I said to myself, &#8220;What\u2019s this?&#8221; Well, this is one of the stories that qualifies for a busy, long weekend of news suppression. How many news reports have you seen from the Drive-By Media about the protests in France?<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve been going on all over France for more than a week. How many of you have seen anything about this? You may have in the last couple of days, but, even if you\u2019ve seen the reports in the last couple of days, you still don\u2019t know what it\u2019s really all about.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-292868\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-112618-France-gas-protest-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-112618-France-gas-protest-003.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-112618-France-gas-protest-003-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I guarantee you, you don\u2019t know why these riots in Paris and all over France are taking place, even though they\u2019re being reported on finally, been going on for over a week, the news just hit I think on Sunday, maybe Saturday. I think it was yesterday. It didn\u2019t make the news until yesterday when we finally had footage of fires on the Champs-Elysees. Right next to the Arch of Triumph, for those of you in Rio Linda, the Arc de Triomphe, for the rest of you. By the way, the Arc de Triomphe is where the guillotines were stationed during the height of the French Revolution. Just a little trivia there.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the kicker. This is what the Drive-By Media refused to call these protests what they are. They said the French were protesting fuel prices. They said the French are protesting fuel prices and the rising cost of living. That\u2019s only 20% of it. You know what the French are really protesting?<\/p>\n<p>The protests are against a massive carbon tax implemented by this young socialist Millennial president over there who believes climate change and all this rotgut, and so he\u2019s trying to price the usage of gasoline and fossil fuels out of existence! A gallon of gas costs over seven bucks because of this new carbon tax. That\u2019s why they\u2019re protesting. They\u2019re protesting because this president believes all this cockamamie bull about climate change and fossil fuels and believes it we\u2019ve gotta get on to wind and solar and nuclear and so he\u2019s got this carbon tax.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly what the left wants to do here! It is a forerunner, it is an advance look at what could happen here. It\u2019s exactly what the left around the world wants to do. This is what the media is not telling. The media\u2019s not telling you it\u2019s related climate change. The media is not telling you it\u2019s related to a carbon tax. They just say rising fuel prices, cost of living. The protests are specifically against a carbon tax that Emmanuel Macron has imposed on gasoline and diesel. And he did it in the name of fighting climate change.<\/p>\n<p>What the tax has done is raised the price of a gallon of gasoline in Paris to $7.06. It has raised the price of diesel by over 30 cents a gallon, and that makes it nearly as expensive as gasoline is. And this is just the beginning, because this carbon tax is slated to increase each and every year. This is what happened to nations who stayed in the Paris Accord. This is what Donald Trump withdrew the United States from. This idiot says he\u2019s got to make good on the French promises and commitments they made to reduce their carbon footprint in the Paris accords.<\/p>\n<p>But he believes it! He\u2019s one of these idiots that believes this cockamamie bull about climate change and the end of the earth, and there\u2019s a related story that the Trump administration knowingly lied to the American people. The administration, the Trump administration tried to hide a devastating new climate change report by issuing it on the day after Thanksgiving. And it\u2019s a horrible set of circumstances that we now face.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-292835\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-112618-France-gas-protest-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-112618-France-gas-protest-001.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/APP-112618-France-gas-protest-001-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>Once again, for about the 30th time in the last 30 years, we only have 10 years. This is it. This is about the 25th last chance that we\u2019ve got to stave off the usage of climate change fossil fuels. If we don\u2019t act in 10 years, meaning if we don\u2019t have a left-wing, socialist world government in 10 years, then the earth is not gonna be exist anymore as it exists now, maybe not be able to support life. And you\u2019ve got a whole bunch of Neanderthals, brain-dead, maleducated people believing this garbage, including this little fruitcake that\u2019s running Paris and running France.<\/p>\n<p>This is what Trump pulled us out of. Now, it is not all nations that signed the Paris accords are actually acting on their commitments. Most of them are smart enough to know that it\u2019s all BS, but this guy is a true believer. And he\u2019s not backing down from it. And this is exactly what would be happening in the United States if our signatory status to the Paris accords had remained and if we had an administration that bought hook, line, and sinker this whole climate change hoax.<\/p>\n<p>We have more oil in the world today than we\u2019ve ever had, despite how much of it we\u2019ve used. The earth continues to manufacture it, even though it\u2019s called fossil fuels. Ask your average brain-dead American graduate of public school, high school, what a fossil fuel is. You know what you\u2019ll hear? \u201cIt\u2019s gasoline from dinosaurs, and that\u2019s why there\u2019s a shortage because the dinosaurs are dead, and they\u2019ve been dead in a while. Pretty soon we\u2019re gonna run off fossil fuels, and then won\u2019t be able to make any more oil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what they\u2019ve been taught; that\u2019s what they believe. That\u2019s why the use of fossil fuels to describe oil, well, oil still being manufactured, but we don\u2019t have any dinosaurs, do we? And we don\u2019t have a lot of things that are being fossilized, do we? How\u2019s oil still be created? The earth is still doing it, ocean floor and elsewhere. We\u2019re finding new ways to go get it. There is no crisis.<\/p>\n<p>The most advanced economy in the world, the most clean nation in the world, the most advanced standard of living in the world lives on oil. That would be us. The most economically depressed areas of the world are now being denied their chance to use oil in modern-day petroleum products to modernize their economies, all because of a quest for global government. It\u2019s not any more complicated than that.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-267060\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-012318-Climate-Change-Global-Warming-Hoax.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-012318-Climate-Change-Global-Warming-Hoax.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/APP-012318-Climate-Change-Global-Warming-Hoax-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>And this has been going on in France for a week now. And all you\u2019re hearing is French citizens are angry over rising fuel prices, and the French president, Emmanuel Macron, is holding steady. You are not being told the half of it. And ditto this Brexit business.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPTS<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me finish my thought or close the loop here on this climate change report that &#8212; aw, man, the tech blogs are just ecstatic. They think they\u2019ve got Trump now. Trump tried to suppress the most devastating &#8212; these people, and not just the tech blog Millennials, everybody that believes this wants to believe in the biggest bunch of doom and gloom. It\u2019s amazing! They want disaster! And any time news is produced that counters the belief that we\u2019re not headed to disaster, they get mad.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we got 10 years. And literally for about the 20th time in 30 years, we\u2019ve got 10 years. But this latest report says if we don\u2019t fix things in 10 years, then by the end of the century \u2013 do you know how few of us are gonna be alive by the end of the century? They haven\u2019t the slightest idea what they are talking about! They purposefully say that all these disasters are gonna happen so far out that nobody\u2019s gonna be around to prove or disapprove it. It\u2019s a series of lies and political BS that is progressing geometrically \u2019cause they can\u2019t convince people to believe it; so they keep coming up with new scare tactics, and that\u2019s all this latest one is.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Another question: Why did the Trump administration release a climate report? Well, Trump didn\u2019t. His administration did. That opens another can of worms. But I\u2019m not disheartened, folks. I\u2019m ticked off, but I\u2019m not disheartened. Don\u2019t confuse the two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  This is what happened to nations who stayed in the Paris Accord.
