Excellent! We are doing FAR BETTER than anyone else in reducing emissions than any member there. The only purpose for us to participate is to redistribute American wealth to other countries. It is completely worthless to us.

Yes great call!

Good. The accord was non-binding, but even if the US followed it to a T, the effects would be negligible at best. All it served to do was stagger our economy. If you really care about the environment, then support GOOD solutions instead of whatever bullshit happens to be popular.

Great call!

It was a Ponzi scheme meant to get the US to subsidize other nations.

We are doing great at reducing carbon emissions on our own.

What have they accomplished in 4 or 5 years?

Congratulations on being the only First World country to leave. Way to marginalize America, Chump.

It’s funny when people complain that he did this and say he didn’t show “leadership”. Ummm, every other country in the world signed on to this so doing what everyone else does is hardly leadership. Leading is going a different way than everyone else....

We were paying the money while the other countries sit back and pollute.

Terrible decision to pull out. The government is letting fossil fuel companies decide how we’re running our economy and conservation efforts.

Great news! It wouldn’t do anything for the environment anyways!

Don’t quote facts out of context you need to normalize the data

You can combine United States, India, Japan, Germany all together and it wouldn’t be as much is China. Until they get in line what’s the point. We already do more than they do. And seriously The size of the United States needs to be taken into account we have 5 million And Japan has 1.2. But they are also 26 times smaller than we are. So they pollute 30+ tons add carbon dioxide to our 5.

And FRANCE! The PARIS accord! Let’s Compare with them. We are 18 times bigger than they are and they pollute Almost a half 1 million tons Annually. So their equivalent is 8 tons annually compared to our 5 tons. I would bet if you went down all the countries you would find America to be quite low in comparison. Including China and Russia because most of their territory isn’t industrialized or even settled

The United States is the second largest polluter of carbon omissions in the world today and the largest in history. To pull out of the Paris Agreements is selfish, foolish and ignorant on our part.

PROMISES MADE! PROMISES KEPT!

Thank You 🙏🏻 President Trump for getting us out of this climate change FRAUD where countries like China can “sign” it but not have to reduce emissions at all and just “promise” to do so in 2030. What a joke! 😂

The rest of the world loved it because their biggest economic competition (us) would be paying for it! Of course they’d love it. They didn’t have to do a damn thing to curb emissions either. It was a ridiculous agreement that simply crippled the US and our workers. Not fair and wouldn’t reduce emissions. We’re doing a better job of that without the horrible globalists.

Interesting question with India in the news today due to their overwhelming pollution. It makes me wonder why everyone is hating on the United States when other countries are clearly not following any of these standards.

This is basically just a proxy question for trump at this point. I doubt people even realize how utterly meaningless the Paris agreement ultimately is to the environment, or if they even care. It’s just rooting for your team at this point

👍🏻

Absolutely.

Just a bunch of self serving🤬Globalists trying to screw us over😖‼️

Promise made = promise kept

It was another globalist "let's tax the US" plan of redistribution of wealth under the guise of climate.

The US has been one of, if not the, leading country in terms of reducing carbon emissions, the US has been working on renewable energy, cars, turbines, hydroelectric, nuclear, we’ve been making great progress. We’re not even close to the leading country in carbon emissions, you tell me when you have to walk through an American city wearing gas masks because the pollution is so bad you can’t see 10 feet in front of you.

Great move! The Paris Accord is just a wealth redistribution scheme designed to rob the US and give our wealth to third-world countries.

Marganalize - nice theory.
We cut more that they do - action is leadership to conservatives - signing a feckless piece of paper is leadership to liberals.

The contrast couldn’t be clearer.

If you think this is a good thing there is no hope for you and you’re stupid beyond belief.

Behind China, we are the worlds 2nd largest polluter of greenhouse gases.

Very bad call!
We will fall further behind in the development of alternative energy production, NRG of the future.🇺🇸
The earth’s climate will begin to change in ways we can’t predict.🤩
The present administration again reveals itself as a whore to the petrochemical industry.🤑
NRDC estimates dropping out of the agreement would cost the US $6 trillion in the upcoming decades and reduce the worldwide GDP by 25%. So much for the economic costs estimated by some based on a now debunked 2017 study.😢

Renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the United States, increasing 67 percent from 2000 to 2016. Renewables made up nearly 15 percent of net U.S. electricity generation in 2016, with the bulk coming from hydropower (6.5 percent) and wind power (5.6 percent).

Global CO2 emissions continue to rise, reaching 33.4 Billion tons last year. Yet, many will be startled to learn that America easily leads the world in reducing CO2 output. Our reduction of 794 million tons over the past decade is a 1.4% annual rate of decrease.

Lmfao!!! No, I’ll go ahead and keep my car and lights and you can go ride a horse and live in a cave.

“Supporting environmental protection and conservation” is talking point with no value.

Signing a feckless agreement with no way to hold any country accountable for their actions or non actions is not “Supporting environmental protection and conservation”.

Blindly following dogma that blames climate change on everything in order to increase government regulation and control is not “Supporting environmental protection and conservation”.

Investing in renewable energy would be beneficial for the sustainability, economy, and security of the United States.

Decreasing pollution in the water, land, and air will increase the health of citizens.

Even if you don’t believe in climate change, you cannot deny the fact that supporting renewable energy and fighting pollution is a good thing.

...

We're already a leader in reducing emissions. We don't need the climate Accord to do that.

You have it backwards. The rest of the world wants to jump off the cliff and shut down the economy. We want to continue our way of life and not live in the Stone Age.

those who said no don't actually know that much about the agreement. Or they do and they just want to disagree with whatever Trump does.

That why it doesn’t matter what you sign as long as China and India continue to do what they do.

Waste of money that showed no improvement! If you’re interested in saving the environment, then work on China and India. They are the biggest polluters and could care less!

Orange Man Bad to illegal immigrants, Hollywood hypocrites and their sycophants, SJW’s, globalists and the entrenched bureaucracy.

Orange man good for minorities and working class.

I will bite though - how are we marginalized?

I’m not surprised you say something so ridiculous.

Yeah but no thanks to Donald J Trump who rolled back all of the Obama era requirements and then some, not to mention promoting fossil fuel over alternative energy....many businesses are doing it anyway despite this, doing it on their own. And who gives a shit how big a country is, we all need to do our part, I’m ok with US doing more. Doing nothing is NOT the answer.
I can remember when LA and other large cities where the smog was so thick you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face and YOU want to go backwards?

No one:

Greta Thunberg: How dare you?!

Dofus, we all live on the same “globe”...🤪

President Trump has designated 1,000,000 new acres of land as protected wilderness.

Very good. Tf have we gotten out of it?we've used over 34 billion on it.

Blindly? LOL The guy says he’s going to do something and does it and that is called blindly following? LOL
It’s nice to have somebody elected that actually does what he says he’s going to do.

Somehow Trump supporters are blind - while the last administration arrogantly admitted it relied on the stupidity of their voters and the compliant media to sell their policies.

Democrats are backwards and upside-down by nature

Holy hysteria - a 16 year old privilege whiner is their new hero.
