                       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.

[[Page H552]]

  ``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.
