President Donald Trump On Paris Climate Accord Withdrawal (Full) | The New York Times
/ thenewyorktimes
Now more Americans can pursue their dream job in the coal mines!
Nothing like $20 an hour for black lung disease! Seriously what the heck is Trump thinking? Does he even know what fracking is?
Florida is bout to be bikini bottom
That would be a good job for Trump.
Brainbuster- At least they will be employed unlike you, snowflake.
Brainbuster I don't think none of them want to work there.
man... there is no such thing as clean coal.
T-Bone. Go live in a cave and eat dirt. You will save the planet all by yourself.
Eden Castillo nuclear energy is clean
clean coal is about as real as santa or god
it's made out of carbon, the dirtiest element you can find
DRL P Do some research you uneducated moron. There are other ways to produce energy. Processes that have existed for years but have been held back because of greedy ingrates who don't care what type of planet future generations will inhabit. But you're more intelligent than scientists around the world right?
Sure there is clean coal. You take a lump of coal and brush it with a toothbrush until it is clean - DUH!
Remember kids North Korea signed on to the Paris deal. LOL
Ren Jones
So did major countries like France, Germany, China, India
You know, NK signing the deal, with them being so idiotic and backwards, still agreed... so what does that say about the United States Leadership? That they are more primitive then them?
only 3 countries aren't in it
Nicaragua - they thought the agreement was too lax
Syria - Civil War
USA - Idiots running the country (headed by the clown barf)
+Dogsled Shepherd shows how little you know about the agreement. It's the most pointless committee there can be. They have no power and therefore cannot force any member nation to do anything so why bother being a part of it?
JayPG
Of course the committee can't "force any member nation to do anything" because it is a *Voluntary* agreement.
USA are worse than North Korea...
@JayPG let me introduce you to a new concept: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality
Its about doing the right thing even if no one forces you to. Or would you start roaming the streets murdering and raping if there were no police?
For the first time in many years I'm proud of our President!!!!!
He was better than the lying media portrayed!
How about jobs in green energy instead of jobs in dying energy such as coal.
Thats what im sayin
I think that would make too much sense.
No, Trump needs to bring back steam trains too - and coaches and saddle makers! Screw the government, screw penicillin - Bring back good old Doctor Evergood's wonder pills! Madam Hanson's Tonic! MAGA!
Unfortunately, the green energy industry is lagging far behind oil industry. There are just nobody who wants to invest in it.
Tejas So use obsolete tools because it's all we got for now? Doesn't sound very American to me....
"America First." Oh like the US isn't on Earth.
Deee S you are the true traitor
Being alone America becomes first forever! Well done.
You know how when you go on a plane and they go over safety measures like in the event of cabin depressurization you need to put on your own mask before helping other? Same concept here. We need the money to improve our own infrastructure before helping others.
Whoabubba, the US is on the planet Earth. And if we'd sign that deal, we'd be the stupidest people on the Planet. By the way, are you here illegally?
paulie dee "illegally" what does that have to do with this?
You people realize that one day we will run out of oil and gas. We need to move away from it and move towards renewable energy sources, which are better for our environment. Even if you don't believe in global warming you have to realize that once we run out of oil and gas, we will loose thousands of jobs and the world will fall into turmoil because of our reliability on these resources. We have to switch to renewable energy and we must do out best to undo global warming before we ruin this world for future generations. And once again you people can through at me that global warming isn't real but you have to agree that we must remove our reliability from oil and gas. If we don't thousands of jobs will be lost and many bad things can happen. This deal punishes us because we deserve it. We produce so much greenhouse gases so we have to be punished for that and fix our mistakes. Feel free to argue and yell at me in replies or praise my words. I will gladly debate against you calmly please. We must start a conversation and not a yelling fest.
Timur G indeed
they have been saying that since beginning of 2000.. we are almost 20 years in now and we still have plenty of natural resources.. I think it's going to take a while until we run out of natural resources, I'm sure by that time there will be newer greener technology out, that can be done by investing in private sectors to research ... But it doesn't mean we have to be in a horrible climate agreement giving handouts to other countries.
xxxSPETSNAZxxx the deal said we had to give handouts to other developing countries in order to help them with their goals in lowering carbon emissions
*Good, then the POOR will go from AFFORDABLE ENERGY*
*to UNAFFORDABLE ENERGY*
K Dov exactly my thoughts
BUT Mr President *THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER*
not anymore there's a blanket
Oh wait, we're destroying that blanket?
Guess you're justified. Carry on.
LMFAO
and we are destroying the blanket
1955 hey China just launched their first nukes
Time to summon Gort. Get Klaatu as well.
I love this guy!
the irony of trump voters calling others brainwashed in the comments would make me laugh if it weren't so sad.
Is trump racist? Is Hilary racist?
Have you even read the paris accord, I bet not
Another spiked media cool-aid drinker
Pepe Covfefe ; )
Tiago Himura half? Are you stupid? And they are discriminated against in India too
Somebody should straight up ask him if the Earth is flat, I just feel we need to get to know him better.
Funny comment, but please talk in specifics about this. What are 3 specific good things about the pact? What are three not so good things about it?
This comment says It has 5 replies, yet I can only see 1. Why is this?
King Covfefe flat? Lol no, try cube *trump*
He'll say it's cheeto shaped

You forgot to count the 4 alternative-replies.
If nobody like Trump so why the FK he's president? I don't really get it!!!!!!!!
Because Clinton was his other candidate and people didn't like her. Sanders2020
Why is Trump pandering to coal workers? Can't we all just admit that coal mining is unskilled labor? We could invest in cleaner forms of energy and simply re-train these people to perform slightly different tasks. Bills and energy costs go down long term and with the US' huge workforce, we could become leaders in renewable energy and make massive profits from smaller countries. But I guess why get out ahead of a global business trend when you can pander to an unskilled group of workers in an attempt to satisfy campaign promises, right?
I keep asking myself the same question. What's with Trump's infatuation with coal miners?
They're a dying breed. Does he want to bring back the horse and carriage, too?
Ryan A lot of the coal industry is automated and where you need people is mostly in transport or as an operator of the big machinery like diggers for example. Are those people doing unskilled work? I don't think so. I would not be able to just jump in and do those jobs. Don't think you could either tbh.
Coal is, unfortunelty, the largest growing energy resource atm. Why? It's cheap, abundant and mostly because of the dismantling of nuclear energy. Renewables just can't keep up with the demand.
Ryan because it isn't the job of the government to "invest" in anything! read the Constitution! If renewables/clean/green energy is best, cheapest, I GUARANTEE you private companies with their billions will race to invest.
+A Tarmon This discussion has nothing to do with the Constitution. The federal government wants to make money, but Trump is so shortsighted and selfish he doesn't want to oversee a transition to federally backed clean energy efforts because it won't make instant money like say, coal or gas. Private companies will continue to make money off of renewable energy, but they're now competing with the leader of our government who just gave his unconditional support to factory workers and miners.
Ryan HA! good, let them compete against coal! That is sweet, beautiful capitalism my friend. And yes,it had everything to do with the Constitution, because no, the federal government doesn't need to make money. they are best served completing the simple tasks outlined for them to do in the Constitution.
Remember when Obama gave speeches and comments were always disabled, I hardly even recall him ever being on youtube ever
Good point..Trump is transparent!
(0_o)/* Thank GOD for President Donald Trump!!! Headline: Trump tells leach countries..."America's NOT YOUR DADDY!!!
😂😂
"When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money."-Native American Proverb
Justice Dodson we will see the lorax then 😁😂😭
MrBigEnchilada and how would plants grow there?
When that happens it won't be because we use coal gas and oil. The sun could get hotter or we could be hit by an asteroid but driving SUV's isn't going to destroy our atmosphere. lol. I know they teach you crap in school.
viva President Trump 😀👍👍👏
qynsar yes over the next few billion years our star will increase in size and temperature eventually destroying our planet...although this will happen many years from now and yes the CO2 emitted from your SUV will actually play a role in increasing the average temperature on our one and only planet. It's not crap it's Science
You can't solve climate issues with money and President Trump alone can't make America great again without all of us doing our part in our own respective neighborhoods.
so this guy just hates obama that much, that he literally is just undoing all the progress the dude made?
Basically.
Progress? More like undoing the damage to our sovereignty by agreements such as Nafta and the WTO which took most of the jobs out of the country and has devastated the economy. Breaking free of these agreements is a good first step toward regaining our sovereignty. Don't be so blinded by hate and bias.
Obama did not make progress he's a fool for making this agreement.
A2Kaid please elaborate on why you feel it was a bad deal.
Brian Allen literally just watch the speech
Good jod Trump, saving all 77,000 coal jobs, and cutting away at the 180,000 clean energy researchers.
Lamar Carter might wanna go back and look again. Many more jobs can come back now
@ Br Car , 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ The earth is literally dying thanks to Ignorant, evil dumb people like you and trump
Good job President Donald Trump.
Trump is all about the petro dollars. Doesnt care about any other generation getting polluted or hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, tsunami's etc.
I'm sorry, but some of us young people actually care about being able to afford to live.
John Nemo Fracking is proven to cause earthquakes.
Go ask the dead people of flash floods, tsunamis, landslides and hurricanes how much their pay packets were. Typical money hungry fool.
Haha "Harvard study"?? So you don't bring up any geological expert or professor of environment. Instead you claim a Harvard study has proof? LOL
People can think about all they want. But this is discussion about facts and people's lives. Not little studies and school projects.
the renewable energy industry is far bigger than the coal industry and China has half the CO2 per person of the CO2 produced by one person in the USA
Lol they have 5x the population so they pollute more than double what we do, cool math tho.
J P77 Seems fair since they need more Energy for more people
Then why would we pay much higher into the paris agreement and have much harsher regulations than other countries, it was a slush fund , nothing more.
Because the US has taken advantage of the developing countries for long time now these countries have to grow their economy to do their part in protecting the planet
You don't develop a countries economy by weakening others, economics 101
Humanity makes me sad. We're so divided now a days and it's so difficult to actually have productive debates with people because of the polarizing sides and the mentality of how the other opposer is either stupid or inherently evil. Times like these are essential to actually voice opinions in respectful manners both sides having real conversation and actually "communicating" rather than arguing. Let's educate people not degrade them. Fighting amongst one another only contributes to the issue.
Thank you Trump, the US would have spent millions, and lost jobs by imposing carbon emission regulations. Four years of these regulations in the US would be reversed by just three weeks in China...
He just keeps lying. Cutting healthcare and education budget? He said he won't cut .
C L He needs a hair cut.
Pete Baez
Call Kathy Gifford. Lol
Don't remember him saying that...he tan on shrinking the government and reducing our 20 trillion debt before our dollars become toilet paper and we eat zoo animals like Venezuela. There's a currency crisis and war ----can't go on freeloading forever.
Except so far he has done nothing to reduce the debt, he just offset spending with tax cuts to the rich and more funding for the military.
get lost dummy
*_God HELP US!!!!_*
God can't get into the US - You're on your own
Even if there was a God there would be no help because Trump is a godless creature. Not godless in a "doesn't believe in a higher power" kind of way, that's totally fine. But as in an active evil kind of way, the dude is a demon.
The 7th Screaming Dizbuster it was a joke - Zero one wrote "God HELP US!!!!" as in God help us, but I turned it into USA. I couldn't care less if the US is flooded with immigrants. As of 2017 it's my opinion that the US of A doesn't deserve to be an independent country.
Greetings from Denmark
I thought liberals are atheist?
PootisMann Not everyone who doesn't like Trump is a liberal it's a bad argument.
Glad to see a US president that puts the interest of America first. Glad I voted for him.
...soon you will be selling nothing but weapons to the Saudies :-)
It's sad when most people won't listen to full speeches or understand where other sides come from. They just want everything summarized to them by news outlets.
be aware, if you read some of the comments your IQ may drop
😂😂
Right
Who cares if the Earth is ruined in the future, if I can get a minuscule tax break now!
(sarcasm)
x1plus1x this agreement will only bring down the temperature by .2° in 100 years. If I turned your thermostat down in your house it would change nothing
JoshProduction wait so the countless wars in the middle east and 300 billion dollor deal arent waste of taxpayer money yet protectinf the planet we live on is?
“Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.”
Robo Leader That's the whole point in having a global initiative not just one individual trying to make a change while everyone else essentially counters that person. Do some research to understand that the 1 degree change globally has a significant impact on the environment !
+JoshProduction Outrageous amounts of money? Like the beloved military budget of Republicans?
What a great President. The text of this speech should be obvious to Americans, not controversial . America 1st.
President Trump we love you and you are missed. Remember that.
12:07 "The agreement is a massive redistribution of United States wealth to other countries." Trump says he is willing to re-negotiate the Paris climate agreement "under terms that are fair to the United States and its workers or to negotiate a new deal that protects our country and its tax payers". Irregardless Trump says the US will remain the "world's leader on environmental issues, but under a framework that is fair and where the burdens and responsibilities are equally shared among the many nations all around the world." -- Other countries, such as China, put themselves first and their workers. 26:03 "exiting the agreement protects the United States from future intrusions on the United States sovereignty and massive future legal liability". "The Paris Accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty, impose unacceptable legal risk, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries of the world." "It is time to pursue a new deal that protects the environment, our companies, our citizens, and our country."
That awkward moment when people actually think that the Paris Accord actually helps.
How does melting Antarctica protect Americans ???
Yeah, except for the fact that the latest studies show Antarctica is INCREASING by 100 billion tons of ice per year... those darn facts always getting in the way!
Lies. You are aware of the Delaware sized ice shelf breaking off at this moment ? Read up on the other parts of the Larsen Ice shelf breaking off and youll see.
How does IGNORING RADICAL ISLAM protect America and Paris?!
Paris has been under MARTIAL LAW for over a year an half, and you liberals still think the PARIS accords are the most important thing.
The biggest migration crisis was not the Polar Bear, it was Syrian refugees because of ISIS and Assad and Russia.
Obama and Merkel focused on ANTARCTICA while RUSSIA and ISIS grew under their noses!
Stupidest NATO leaders in history!
Now that the US has left the Paris Agreement, global temperature will rise 3 degrees. Meaning extreme desertification; meaning 80% of global agricultural capacity destroyed; meaning 20 times more migration that the one we have now. If migration is what concers you, then you should also be sad with the decision that this crazy guy has taken
10.000 years for it to melt if Global Warming continues.
I feel like people don't realize that the Paris accords had no authority, you can leave it and literally just keep doing what you were doing before to help the environment. This means almost nothing and this agreement was horrible for our industries while allowing pollution from others.
I thank the LORD for President Trump. He is an answer to prayers.
"We are achieving peace in the middle east with increased attacks"
say that again but slowly
I don't get it. Since this is a *voluntary* agreement, why not just change the terms of agreement? Not back out entirely.
China will end up becoming the world leader in green energy manufacturing.
America is quickly siding into 2nd place in many aspects. Corporations still need to sell to Europe and Asia, so the Paris accords will continue with or without America's approval. When the sanctions start rolling in, you'll see how fast the big ones bail and set shop in Berlin, Beijing, and New Delhi.
Poor decision, even though he was heavily advised not to back out.
Um, Macron, Merkel, and other EU leaders said that Trump CAN'T renegotiate the agreement. It was made to hurt our economy, nothing else.
Arduino: Um, how would innovating and manufacturing green technologies here in the United States and exporting our developments to other countries hurt our economy?
We've joined Syria as the only other country in the world to back out. (Nicaragua thought that the agreement didn't do enough.) The world is laughing at us. But hey, we are reaping what we sowed.
But this whole deal is bigger than jobs/economy. No matter your position on the very real threat of climate change, what are we gonna do when one day we can't find oil/coal?
Tiger Diesel one of his 1st sentences was that he wants to renegotiate the terms of the agreement or terminate if the terms arn't good enough
china is polluting the world right now.....
I swear, everyone complaining in this comment section didn't even listen to the speech.
Disliked because New York Times. I'm so glad Trump made this move.
You'll learn why when you're older.
he's not drawing out of the agreement because he feels it's best, he's just cocky and wants America to be completely independent
Good news for the rest of the world. The USA won't be blocking the future negotiations within the Paris accord. The trillions and trillions of investments in third world countries will also more likely be given to remainers, such as European and Chinese companies for renewable energy. I think this man just cut into America`s own flesh. He pulled out of the treaty and gave away influence and thereby weakened the American companies which are trading with new technologies.
How exactly? Trillions and Trillions from where?
Trumps own words.. the money which the first world countries will give to the developing countries. Trump said that all these massive amounts will be damaging the American economy. It will now as well. Why should any member country of the accord now chose American energy products over Chinese and European if there can be better deals and further negotiations within the framework of the climate treaty..
Perhaps some of the money can be diverted paying off our 19 trillion dollar debt
Maybe American products aren't as good as Trump has it if you're selling so little to the rest of the world. The climate treaty could have been a wonderful opportunity for the new renewable energy sector in the States to grow even faster and create many new good jobs. Trump didn't say much about this. The US would have been a major contributor to the accord but could have helped American energy companies to benefit massively from this money. Even Exxon Mobile was clever enough to protest against an exit.
Well...I missed the broadcast that's why I'm in the process of watching it now.
£ Everything has to be examined very carefully. Trump is a world leader! Considering the current issues of the 21st century, sustainability and environmental issues are at the heart of one of them. And Trump made a mistake to the Paris alliance by not only thinking advantageously and "financially" just for us, but for not thinking sustainably, ecologically, surely and with a futuristic vision of our world up front!® :-uu
Trump see the problems of U.S. but try to solve them in ridiculous way.
Praise God we have a REAL President again who is for the US and AMERICANS instead of a "religious idiotology" or socialism.
*🔥Every time he talks I hear R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World in my head!🔥*
Love how money is a problem when its to something important and not to bombs or tax cuts for the rich...
This isn’t something important, its just a fraud 😴
Trump is taking care of America ! God bless Trump! God bless the USA
Today's America don't deserve to be world leader
Epic speech by an epic president!
"..Exclusive advantage of others.." *DUDE, WTF! WE ONLY HAVE ONE EARTH, NOT 2 OR 3!*
The more I actually read up on this paris agreement the more I agree that it's useless and Trump was in the right for leaving it in hopes that an actual deal that does something is agreed upon.
Good on you sir. Actually doing research and not just listening to the echo chamber of main stream media. Hats off!
What do you expect when the secretary of state was the former CEO of Exxon Mobile
"I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris!" Thank you! You GO, Mr. President!
The citizens of Pittsburg didn’t elected trump. It’s county voted for hillary. Also, this deal isn’t about paris, that is only the city where the agreement was signed
Trump's speeches make me cringe, they're executed so poorly.
At least if the snake oil salesman was articulate and charming I could more easily understand why morons were fooled. It's definitely infinitely more depressing to see they were fooled by a shamble of a human being who talks like dementia started chipping away at him. He sold you snake oil without any of the superficial charm and eloquence, and that really is tragic.
Obama is no longer president. The Kenyan Community Organizer who never had a real job, real birth certificate, still thinks he can sell us on being a pseudo-president again.
Of course Obama had to be brought up, even though he has absolutely nothing to do with this
and yet he won the most votes
Sorry he's not a fake well spoken hollywood democrat politician...lol
I work in oil industry and pays many many families and 75% of taxes the world is gunna get screwed no matter what way you look at it cars exhaust,beer brewing, etc
I too have been wondering where all the green tax money has been going? I also have been wondering where all the Obama Care fines where going? From what I have been seeing, the Trump team truly has the people's best interests at mind. It takes courage to stand up to bully's. I have never seen a president more bullied than Trump, and yet he continues to do what he feels is in the best interest of the Americans. I think we should take all the green climate money and use it to invent technology that reduces carbon print in America.
I wouldn't exactly say we are the "world's leader on environmental issues" when the US is the second worst in terms of pollution...
Allie Shea I recommend you travel the world. If you go to ANY undeveloped/third world country, you'll look at the U.S. like it's heaven in terms of pollution. Go to Mexico, it's the closest. Each day in total, in Mexico City, breathing is like smoking at least 15 cigararettes. Do your research and stop spreading misinformation. As a whole country, because it's the third biggest in the world? Maybe. Per county? Not even close.
Actually for a developed industrial country we are doing much better than other industrial nations. China and India lead, as well as Mongolia, while many European nations have actually increased pollution since the refugee crisis.
Dude lol no we're not. Face the facts
Taewon Yoon bruh ever been to LA it's a shitstorm of smog
In LA is the important word here. Most of the US has no pollution problems, LA needs to fix the job but not expect the rest of the US to foot the bill.
EU should put embargo on american companies that don't comply with enviromental standards.
cant
Trump. 'speech is an eye opener . Rational and thought provoking.
i was a Bernie supporter, voted for Jill. i am a latino who is now very supportive of our president and i am sorry Mr. President that i ever doubted you.
wtf trump its not about money its about life
Yeah. And there are people out of work living harsh life cuz of not enough jobs. Its not harming anything by a huge amount or even a tiny amount.
triplecs 123 The Paris Agreement was made to secure a clean and safe world for future generations of people of all nations by reducing pollution internationally.
and to let china increase its emissions for 13 years and india would be allowed to DOUBLE their coal productions. Why does the US have to shut down its coal jobs for india and Europe. why does big business care so much about the paris climate accord do they love mother earth? No of course not follow the money.
Cat Claws Where are you getting this information? China has been much more vocal and active on environmental issues than we have. ( www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2016/nov/22/donald-trump-success-helps-china-emerge-as-global-climate-leader ) The only other countries who have diverged from these climate change accords are Syria and Nicaragua.
uglyfish2000 The Paris Agreement is about setting up an international standard for climate regulations. By pulling out of it, we are saying that we are not going to invest in creating a sustainable environment for the future of industry and the economy, and we're going to milk the environment until its dry for the sake of saving a hardly significant amount money for now. The environment can only recover so much. This is about risking PEOPLE in place of businesses. Disgusting.
In summary: Paris agreement is *very* *unfair*.
*Its so funny how ppl say the accord was about saving the planet- and yet the nations aren't willing to renegotiate with Trump. This tells u that its not about the earth, its about the money being exchanged under the table* 😢
As an American I would like to formally apologize for this. I will be voting next time.
MAGA! Greatest president of our lifetime.
President Trump "At what point do countries start laughing at us?"
Well Mr.President I believe the exact date would be January 20, 2017...
I think that was when countries feared us because globalist elites realized they could'nt push around the USA🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The Cringe Bros. Nobody ever pushed around the USA until Trump became president and Putin started telling him what to do.
Give us all your tears gypsy.
The Cringe Bros. you people are only good at making enemies. When will you realize that this planet doesn't just belong to the US?
Amen, we became the laughing stock on Jan 20, 2017, when the crowd size or other was not big enough.
When will USA wake up & fire this bum.
It is nice to at least hear about Americans in a speech from the president.
So we are going backwards.
Ariadna Corral No. did you not listen? The Paris accord would unfairly effect the US and cost billions , bad deal
Preem The Paris Accord would keep the climate and world safe. What would you rather have, a liveable earth or a "good deal".
yowza thats true but the rate at which it heats up is the real problem
Well, "green" energy is going backward. The sun, wind and other natural forces were always the main fountain of energy.
Getting ripped off by yet another globalist giveaway with NO COMMITTMENTS to reduce anything only mean "forward" for the hopelessly naive. Trump is putting America first yet again! God bless Trump and God Bless the USA!
As a conservative and strong second amendment supporter I am ashamed this man is our president. He is truly unqualified.
John Smith Hillary would be so much worse
John Smith at least we aren't competing for air superiority with russia....
Alright "John Smith" and I'm an astronaut
This decision to pull out of the agreement and deciding to not care about the enviroment does not represent the feelings of the majority of Americans
Exactly, then why did he do it? Isn't the job of the president to work the American people or does he just get to do what he wants?
Thank you, President Trump.
The cleanest country on earth? He can't be serious right?
Trump just put a stop payment on a blank check.
yep, instead he should spend money to spy on his won citizen and give it to russia. or better yet get the military more money to blow on pointless wars.
Exactly. This wasn't about the environment, it was about wealth transfers from developed countries to underdeveloped countries.
Michelle Simon I'd like to know how, exactly, he thinks that happens.
Randy Liston I'd like to know where you got your figures. Also, we weren't the only ones paying in. Also, it wouldn't be the working class footing the bill of the upper class paid their fair share.
It is good. Climate change is real problem but everybody should work and contribute. why only usa?
Win Win Win every time. MEGA
Trump is the man !!! Thank you yet again for putting USA first Mr. President !!!
Thank you Scott Pruitt for speaking so perfectly on behalf of the American people. Thank you for YOUR courage.
I'm more than positive Trump doesn't know what the word Draconian means.
Enlighten us oh superior leftist, do you know what the word means?
Question dodging is the intentional avoidance of answering a question. This may occur when the person questioned either does not know the answer and wants to avoid embarrassment, or when the person is being interrogated or questioned in debate, and wants to avoid giving a direct response
Rolando Rubalcava
and I'm more than positive you don't know what a multi Billionaire, president, that's married to a supermodel feels like...
I don't think you know what "supermodel" means. But maybe you know what "a loveless sham marriage" means. Cause that's what it is.
Maialeen
Jealousy is a great look for you
good job Great Man
I agree with Trump. Our money could be better wasted to help. Green house technology could be a good funding but no one wants to agree with that. People just like to oppose the guy cause he's "racist". But really he's a realist . He's a business guy for a reason .
Go Trump!
people cheering? What? sarcastically?
TheDragonSmasher i hope so but judging by the comments i doubt it..
Aaaah, maybe because it's gonna save us money. But that's just my guess. You act like this is the only deal we can come up with. We can come up with better green energy programs that actually benefit Americans.
TheDragonSmasher not everyone hates trump you know...
+Hutch It's not about Trump though, it's about the Earth!
People cheering are those on his payroll or Republicans receiving kick backs from big industry to decrease regulations. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for money in their pockets.
Finally, a great president that cares about the country. OUR country.
Thank you President Trump for making sure American do not get screwed over anymore.
Fun fact: Paris wouldn't have "solved" GW, even if it were adhered to 100%. It "postpones the inevitable." It "kicks the can down the road" a couple decades, but we wind up with a temperature rising, only at a slightly slower rate.
...and that's way too much money to spend on something that doesn't fix the problem.
Thank you Pres. Trump.
my absolute support for this decision
Why are we reverting back to coal, why aren't we investing more in solar and wind power. America is stuck in such a linear way of thinking.
bochap21 I feel like we're just going to be more dependent on coal and fossil fuels, Trump does have former energy company lobbyists and ceos in his cabinet so I guess this was all planned ahead.
I can't figure out the IMPORTANCE of this Paris Accord deal. Please help me understand WHY can't countries or regions that feel that controlling energy and emissions are imperative, SIMPLY DO IT THEMSELVES????. What is the benefit and purpose of the Paris Accords, especially when there's NO monitoring or enforcement between nations? What's the purpose?
Aw man 😔
Wish my country had a boss like this!
Germany and France moved from green energy to coal energy for future energy demand (since 2014). China and India don't have to cut CO2 emissions until 2030 according to the Paris agreement though they generate more CO2 than the USA. This agreement is bad for the USA economy.
and a threat to American sovereignty.
Just so you guys know the green climate fund is ran by the UN and has only cost 10.3 billion since 2010.
GOOD MOVE TRUMP AMERICA FIRST PITTSBURGH FIRST
I love how people think they can save a planet. A tornado will rip a town apart in 5 secs flat! YOU CAN'T CONTROL MOTHER NATURE!
It is not about save the planet nor can control tornados, hurricans... it is about reduce what causes an increase in the global temperature, that will lead to many environmental problems. Even a child can understand this...
I'll start being concerned about climate change when so-called celebrities, athletes, politicians and media personnel give up their private jets, yachts, luxury motor coaches, helicopters and their multiple mansion houses.
It's sad to see USA giving up the political and moral leadership of the world. It is tragic to witness the heroic efforts of the American martyrs ,who sacrificed their lives for the cherished values of truth, freedom and justice, go in vain.
My stock portfolio is baller these last few weeks!! Thanks POTUS!!
Yes! I'm so glad he did this.
good call
God bless you Mr. President. I support you.
