It's largely symbolic but it's still a big middle finger to science. Trump was already rolling back the Clean Power Plan which kind of served as the backbone for the US hitting its targets. US could still hit its targets regardless just because the industry has been shifting from coal to gas and investing pretty heavily in renewables somewhat naturally.
In my mind there isn't a huge upside to withdrawing - slightly cheaper energy prices and a small bit of tax savings? Basically status quo. The problem is that the energy industry is ripe for a major disruption if large scale battery storage gets figured out. Lots of investment needed by government to overhaul infrastructure so this isn't something that private industry can do all on its own. The countries on the front end of the transition, whenever it happens, will reap the most benefit.
Trump has so far pulled out of Paris Accord and proposed big cuts to DOE innovation programs. If i was in the bidness of renewables and battery storage then i might think about setting up shop in a more hospitable country.
Fuck Paris and fuck global warming. Feel free to reduce your carbon emissions to nil, living a tiny insignificant life in your tiny home in the woods while the earth continues warming up. The rest of us will just live as we always do until we die while the earth continues warming up.

we weren't reaching that goal without the clean power plan regardless. Which is something that was working which is of course why trump and the rest of the anti-science GOP idiots are against it.
Isn't it great supporting a party that is proud of it's ignorance and stupidity?

If we dont get killed by meteors first.
Could and will happen at anytime and there ain't a thing we can do about it. Maybe we should implement an asteroid agreement? Maybe that will save us.

The world wide disappointment is because without Uncle Sugar the house of cards collapses.
Follow the money
