In June 2017, President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord in an effort to boost the nation’s industry and energy independence. Mr. Trump argued that the climate accord was unfair to the U.S. since the agreement imposed easier restrictions on China and India who lead the world in carbon emissions. Opponents of the climate agreement argue that it unfairly penalizes U.S. energy companies and consumers by imposing restrictions on domestic energy production. Proponents of the climate accord argue that exiting it sets back decades of diplomatic efforts by the U.S. government to reduce worldwide carbon emissions.
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
Yes, until other countries are held to the same standards
@8DGDGGV2yrs
No! It is hurting the US that #45 pulled us out of the Paris Accord. The US needs to be in the Paris Accord, as it is a group of smart, caring nations who want to protect our environment. Right now glaciers are melting, there are wildfires in California, tropical storms are more frequent & are more dramatic. We need to work on this as a nation, and with other countries.

No, but it should exceed the goals set by the agreement
@945YC9J1wk
I have 0 clue what this means.
Countrys should buy and sell when they want.
Yes, but only to make our own independent decisions to combat climate change.
@945QZFD1wk
No, renegotiate for a more fair deal.
@945Q3DY1wk

@945Q2SQ1wk
No, and increase diplomatic efforts to reduce worldwide carbon emissions
@945BCYQ1wk

@9455W9Q1wk
