Trump withdraws from Paris climate agreement, again

Quote

WASHINGTON, Jan 20 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump once again withdrew the United States from the Paris climate deal on Monday, removing the world's biggest historic emitter from global efforts to fight climate change for the second time in a decade.

 

The move places the United States alongside Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only countries in the world outside the 2015 pact, in which governments agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

 

It reflects Trump's skepticism about global warming, which he has called a hoax, and fits in with his broader agenda to unfetter U.S. oil and gas drillers from regulation so they can maximize output.

 

Trump signed the executive order withdrawing from the pact in front of supporters gathered at the Capital One Arena in Washington.

"I'm immediately withdrawing from the unfair, one-sided Paris climate accord rip-off," he said before signing the order.

I wish we could blow up the entirety of the United States as a sacrifice to the climate gods

It's not like the majority of countries who signed are even close towards fulfilling the bare minimum of the Paris agreements policy but of course a party as degenerate as republicans with billionaires taking up literal seats in the white house would propose action against climate control.

Surely he has legislation coming to lower the price of eggs and every day goods, as I was told this was a top priority issue for his campaign and incoming administration
