US Pulls out of Paris Climate Accords

[Deleted]

Hey, Donnie, there is already a deal on the table, it's called Paris Accords.

[draynay]

Lately I've been feeling like the guy with the eyepatch in the original Dawn of the Dead, he gets so fed up with talking to idiots that he just starts yelling "DUMMIES".

I can't really defend the US against the nation bashing when its anti-intellectualism that brought us to where we are now. I worry how long it will take before we become Cambodia.

He hasnt done anything that warrants impeachment yet.

[schwarzkopf]

Come on Americans, impeach that fucking dork.

Impeachement isn't going to happen, because the people with the power to do so are currently getting to rape and pillage the country and planet for their own gains.

America on the way into its isolation on climate questions. And on the way of losing europe as a partner in economy.

Trump seemed very upset. I think his next steps will be about tax raises against european imports.

Did I hear correctly? He's purposing leaving the Paris Accord, but then reenter it later, under more favourable terms?

What kind of bargaining power does he think he will have when China & Europe dominate the Green Energy breakthroughs, and with his only 2 partners being Syria (a war torn country) and Nicaragua?

lol... it has to be dementia. It has to be!

He's a fucking moron. He thinks he can just walk out of the accord and everyone will line up to join his own because he's Trump and we're the US. He's never made it so painfully obvious how out of his league he really is.

The US is still going to be following the same policies anyways thanks to states like CA even without his official signature so not sure what he's hoping to accomplish aside from blackmailing Dems.

100 Trillion dollars to drop the temperature by 1/17th of a degree according to NASA scientists.

It would stall the current trend of reaching 'critical mass' in 2030 by eight months.

Yet ignore that carbon dioxide levels were ten times as high during our last ice age, and the planet is still spinning.

You people just want 'experts' to tell you that it's all going to be okay.

I dont understand what the issue is. If we as a nation decide to reduce our CO2 emissions Paris Accord or not, what difference does it matter what bargaining power we have to reenter? If the point is to reduce CO2 emissions and we do it, whats the big deal if we do it on our own?

Why would you expect us to do it on our own when everything this administration has done re: the environment suggests cruel indifference?

[Ravenblade]

I see Trump's bullshit cannon fired at maximum power again. Never listened to such a staccato of statements of "Mimimimi, unfair treatment!" before, especially for an announcement that's basically nothing more than a giant "eff you, world! GREEN COAL NAOW!"

Is your sig the deplorable national anthem?

1. The last time the CO2 levels were 10 times as high was 400 million years ago
2. Last ice age lasted from 100,000 thousand years ago until around 12000 years ago.
3. The planet isn't at risk from climate change - HUMAN CIVILISATION IS.
4. Every 1/10th of a degree we remove off the top gives us a HUGE advantage over doing nothing.

Please be rational and inform yourself about the situation.

Because of States Rights.

These agreements are about a lot more than just CO2 emissions, the US has officially taken itself out of the global green energy initiative. This decision will cost us jobs and opportunities around the world which will go to other countries who aren't run by idiots.

Aside from that Trump has stated both in words and by putting a climate change denier in charge of the EPA that he wants to go back the opposite way when it comes to the environment.
