Tell me then why our emissions are mostly clean compared to many other countries?

I don't believe in this "global warming" or "climate change" to the dramatization it's been presented.

However, we as a people can and will clean it up even more and produce other cleaner energy technologies as most of the USA populous do want to breathe clean air, etc.....

Back in the mid 70's, we started to cut auto emissions without this Paris Accord, so imo we can and will (as we are the greatest country in the world (but not as great as we have been in the past imo)) do more to serve our environmental cleanliness.

Before you respond think of the many other countries who REALLY do damage with their dirty emissions which don't hold a candle to our overall much cleaner emissions. Yes, we can do better though.
The US is one of the worst offenders, second only to China.

However at least China has committed to reducing emissions, as for emissions being clean, what utter nonsense.

I am glad most countries are now looking at new energy sources rather than fossil fuels.

My understanding is that we will consider getting back in, once the terms are worked out to our advantage. The sugar daddy has left the building.

We can agree to disagree okay.

We're innovators (as I believe in the US of A ) so it'll be great when new even cleaner energy sources come to fruition used on a mass scale verses using fossil fuels.

The Left WANTS us to get ripped off. It was a big part of Obama's priorities. They fully believe that the US needs to be knocked down so developing countries can get a hand up. Don't let these storm trooper fools fool you, they are ALL SJW's and want retribution.

The Paris Accord was a terrible deal for the USA. There's nothing stopping us from doing even better, not tied to that deal. Great day for Americans.

Yes, towards 3rd world status.

Good thing we finally have a US President for the US Citizen!

This was the left and or libs then buddying up with the globalists/NWO-ers to make the USA poorer and towards a 3rd world country imo.

In the coming months they'll be solid proof that this first "global warming" then "climate change" was WAY overstated and dramatized.
Thats just unAmerican, not wanting to give our tax dollars away.

How many of these countries on the top 20 lists do you think will be interested in saving the planet? Some of the most polluted countries happen to be the most corrupt.

Trump just wants to re-negotiate the deal. That is all.
Well how is it fair for poor countries to be negatively impacted by wealthy industrialized nations. Trump doesn't want to renegotiate the deal, he and Bannon do not even believe in climate change. Besides the goals were voluntary and can be changed. There are many companies and organizations that feel we should remain and lead rather than back out.

People who don't have the foggiest idea what was in the Paris accord are freaking out over leaving it. You don't need an "accord", Paris or otherwise, to do whatever you were going to do. Go ahead, buy that hybrid, put up those solar panels, crawl into a cave. Nothing has changed.
