The United Auto Workers union will work with president-elect Donald Trump to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, its President Dennis Williams said on Thursday.

Williams told reporters that one reason Hillary Clinton lost was that she was blamed for NAFTA. The union opposed Trump’s candidacy, but said his “position on trade is right on.”

As a candidate, Trump vowed to force Canada and Mexico to renegotiate the trade deal.

Williams said the union believes about 32 percent of union members voted for Trump. He also backed Trump’s call for an infrastructure bill, saying it is “one of the most important things we can do.”

Williams said he would be open to tariffs on Mexican or Chinese vehicles “as an option,” but would have to evaluate the impact of tariffs on the union overall including workers at export oriented companies such as Caterpillar Inc.

Williams said the union is considering running advertisements to say “if it’s not made in America don’t buy it.”

Why do CO2 lag behind temperature?

71% of the earth is covered by ocean, water is a 1000 times denser than air and the mass of the oceans are 360 times that of the atmosphere, small temperature changes in the oceans doesn’t only modulate air temperature, but it also affect the CO2 level according to Henry’s Law.

The reason it is called “Law” is because it has been “proven”!

“.. scientific laws describe phenomena that the scientific community has found to be provably true ..”

That means, the graph proves CO2 do not control temperature, that again proves (Man Made) Global Warming, now called “Climate Change” due to lack of … Warming is – again – debunked!
