Yeah, so this is someplace I don't agree with President Trump. Now, I don't agree with all the terms of this accord and we probably need to sit down again and renegotiate some of the terms… but just pulling us out isn't a good idea.

Agreed, even among climate change deniers, no one in their right minds truly wants to go back to what we had before the EPA and similar measures. One just needs to look at China to confirm that if the memories of our own smog filled cities have truly faded.

Daishain,

You would think but humans seem to have very short memories any more. Especially those humans that happen to inhabit the US.

What can I say, I keep hoping for the best in people.

*laugh*, well it appears our Government no longer thinks climate change is important enough to remain in the Paris Accords. I actually understand why these accords were bad for us. We didn't do a good job negotiating this accord. The countries that now produce the most pollutants have the least restrictions. That isn't fair. Especially considering our restrictions cost so much more to implement because our factories, cars, electrical plants, etc. Are already so clean. But withdrawing was a mistake. We should have gone back to the table and tried to fix the flaws.

Agreed, renegotiation was necessary.

Heck, I could even see about withdrawing if a new deal was going to be negotiated. But no, we're apparently just giving up on it.
