Donald Trump withdraws US from Paris climate deal
The Paris deal is too costly for the US, said Donald Trump as he withdrew his country from the accord. The US now joins Syria and Nicaragua as the only nations not to support the landmark global climate change deal.

The US will withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change despite international condemnation, US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday.

'In order to fulfill my solemn duty to protect America and its citizens, the United States will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord," Trump said at the White House.

"As of today the US will cease all implementation of the non-binding Paris Accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country.

"This includes ending the implementation of the nationally determined contribution and very importantly the Green Climate Fund which is costing the US a vast fortune."

Trump said he was willing to reenter negotations or to negotiate a new agreement that is more advantageous to America.

"We will start to negotiate and we will see if we can make a deal thats fair. And if we can, that's great, and if we can't that's fine.

I listened to the pulling out speech which he made, I think he really made some sense.

The deal doesn't seem to achieve much though...1/20% of 1 degree centigrade in temperature reduction in 100 years! i.e. If it is properly implemented. Not to talk of if one or more countries decide to cheat and don't fully implement it.

The deal is quite lopsided. Placing a lot of restrictions on the USA whereas leaving China and India with lots of room to manoeuvre and emmitt more greenhouse gases.

Renewable energy generation now cannot meet up with the current energy demands. Hence fossil fuels are still indispensable.

CO2 isn't the only greenhouse gas that causes the warming.

President Trump offered to negotiate a new better deal or to improve the Paris one.

Spending trillions of U.S. tax dollars to supposedly change the Earth's temperature by .03° in a century is insane.

People keep shouting science, yet "science" is constantly wrong about almost every prediction in the "climate change" arena. The science itself is only funded to prove a political point. People wishing to explore an alternative viewpoint cannot get public funding. That is propaganda, not science.

The man is truly fulfilling his campaign promise

Pretty ironic that most (all?) of the people freaking out about this deal and how this will impact future generations of children, also wholeheartedly support Planned Parenthood.

Thank you chijiblaze and atigba. That's one of the many ironies of the left.

The way the establishment - media, political parties and the like - have been attacking Trump since June 2015 till date is stuff of legend.
