This is gonna bite us in the ass big time. Trump is moving us back to the 50s. Countries like China are happy to take our place.
So that's all it's about, emissions? Wow, just wow.

Well, unless we live under our own dome, we breathe the same air and drink the same water.

I'd agree. All the natural gas, coal and electric flowing from Pennsylvanian should immediately be stopped.

Swish!

It won't be so bad as long as he stays committed to the terms. If he does that we'll have job creation with new, higher tech energy solutions, and the climate still might not be affected all that much in a negative way.


If he starts blabbering about coal and drilling everywhere he can, then we have a jobs problem AND an environmental problem.


So, we do defense with dictators, we gave trade leadership to China, and we join Syria and Nicaragua for the environment.


Nobody in their wildest imagination cold have predicted such a step back to the early 1900's in just four months.


God bless Comey. I hope he says the right things next week.

I believe in climate change but this thing is stupid anyway, Trump is doing the right thing. We're already reducing emissions and Elon Musk is already building his taxpayer funded eco friendly cars. The rest of the world needs to step up, we aren't the problem and we shouldn't have to pay to clean up all of the poor countries in the world.

If you'd ever driven thru the pre-emissions controls LA basin vs. now you might take emissions a little more seriously.

So...this doesn't take into effect until November 2020, which means if the GOP loses the White House, they could just as easily sign the country back into the agreement.

It's PR spin, why set up a press conference about something that a) won't take effect until 3 years from now and b) may not even happen if the current President loses the election that year.

It's a waste of everyone's time, it's his way of telling people "hey I'm doing something!" when nothing is really happening.
