USA out of Climate Change Agreement for now

Trump withdrawing US from Paris climate agreement but open to returning

Right decision for all the wrong reasons.

I suspect at some point Trump had to be able to actually keep a campaign promise and neither the congress or courts can stop him on this one. And I do suspect we will try to weasel our way back in because Trump thinks so highly of himself as negotiatior.

And any thing Trump is associated with is automatically is descridited in the eyes of influential people.

That said I am glad to be out and hope we stay that way.

I never bought into the idea that this round of global warming differs from other rounds of massive climate change the planet has gone through.

Trump is a horrible bully but the IPCC easily matches him. They are neferous monopoly with similarities to Autism Speaks and ABA apologists. They have successfully associated scientists that disagreed with them with holocaust deniers and paid energy company shills. Their "evidence based" conclusions are based on computer modeling that has difficiulties with predicting storms a few days ahead. Yet like the ABA monopoly they have turned the media into their PR spokespeople. They are SJW's with power.

It is not enough to say good riddence we need to take advantage of the opportunity presented to us. Not that I have any faith in Trump taking advantage of the opportunity but getting rid of our carbon obsession does not change the fact that most of our cities infratructure are horribly underprepared for hurricanes, tornados, and earthquakes. New York City will not likely have an California level earthquake but the catastrophe from the ones we have had and will have could easily top anything in California's future and ISIS can only dream about causing.

Got it. Someone who pretends to understand Asperger has no interest in facts. That's weird. French president indicated that there would be no renegotiations. "There will be no Plan B because there is no Planet B."

I like the fact that people can now fish in the Hudson River even in the middle of New York City. This wasn't true 20 years ago.

I say this----because I do believe we have to take steps to improve our environment. It doesn't matter if this is a conservative or liberal viewpoint. I believe firmly in this.

I look forward to the Atlantic Ocean flooding Mar-A-Lago and New York City.

What's your problem with New York City? I happen to live there.

You should read the figures on the maximum extent of the Arctic icecap, and the minimum extent of the Arctic icecap every year since 2000.

There are variances---but most years have seen record or near-record low maximum and minimum sizes for the icecap.

It has been said that the Arctic icecap will completely disappear during some portion of the summer within about 20 years.

Over the past 15 years, the majority of years have seen new-record high global average temperatures.

The Southern Hemisphere hasn't seen much manifestations of global warming--but the Northern Hemisphere has.

Also: the Seattle area is much warmer in the summer nowadays than when I was a kid. It never used to go up into the 90s back then. Now it does, occasionally.

Even LA is sometimes cool in June because of the sea breeze.

What legislative body voted on this? If it's unenforceable and just a handshake agreement anyways then it isn't worth the paper it is printed on, if it's anything more then it is a treaty and needs to be both constitutional and approved by 2/3rds of the US Senate.
