    It's always funny to see people whine that we are making the world mad. Yes, we are. We backed out of an agreement of which we are the primary funding source (of a minimum $100 billion a year in foreign aid but expected by all to go higher) for an agreement in which each country sets its own emission standards, of which Obama promised to go ~25% lower from our 2005 number and China agreed to go ~100% higher from its 2005 number.

    And we would get to pay for windmills in places like China in the process....

    ObamaFS.

    The more it is argued that this Paris agreement thing didn't really do anything, the more it diminishes any argument in favor of or against it.

    Agree from a policy standpoint, but its diplomatically where you are a laughing stock. The whole fucking world is trolling us now.
    Yet somehow I just don't give a fuck about what some pussy in France thinks.
    In defense of French pussy though...

    Sounds like he withdrew from a meaningless paper policy. If Kim jong Un is a part of it then what good is it really?

    And LOL about China seizing the opportunity to become a world leader on climate change.

    Non-issue either way. It won't be chinteresting.

    This is a good take. The US has already been reducing emissions as it is. The free market is likely going to do 80% of what the Paris agreement would have done.

    Trump's Obama's just fucking around to claim bullshit victories that have no meaningful value. See the party after the House passed the AHCA for further details.

    It's a voluntary agreement where each country defines how it can do its part to affect climate change.

    There was no downside to being in the agreement, but Trump gonna Trump.

    Except for the $$$$ we would commit to fund backwater countries alternative energy startups only to have China come in an buy them for pennies on the dollar like the Obama game.

    Trump is playing the take-away negotiation game. Since liberal communists don't understand that nuance, here's how it plays in the business word:

    Fuck you - we are out on the Paris Accord.

    Oh...you might be interested in trading a fair-share payment to NATO if the US pretends to care about climate change?

    Well, let's have drinks and talk.

    There's nothing to negotiate there though.

    He's just undoing everything Obama did because he wants to do that.
