Uh, would that be the one that john f'n kohn-heinz-kerry signed but isn't ratified and is unenforceable? That gay paris climate agreement? A boon for jobs? Like putting up wind mills and solar panels? Those kind of jobs that get government subsidies?

Gotta keep that money flowing. If it’s not payments to the Iranian terrorists it’s payments to climate terrorists!

Fools! Do they think that in all his years as a very successful businessman he hasn't confronted pressure like they are trying to apply.

Remember, these are government types that got into government after losing out in the real world that made Trump a success.
This will be mere child's play for him.

“Create Jobs”? Where? How?

What they need is a slogan and a twitter campaign. “Make Erf Great Again”. #StopGlobalWarming.....

Trump will get RIGHT on board......NOT!

He should announce that he agrees to live up to the agreement until/unless the decision is made to abandon it. I think there are 3 parts to the agreement
1) Set a CO2 goal
2) Report on progress toward the goal and plans to improve progress
3) Pay $billions to undeveloped nations

His announcement can be
1) The goal is to spew out no more than 10x as much CO2 in 2030 as 2005
2) We are WAY under that goal (about 99% better). No need to make changes
3) We’ll pay up after EVERY other nation pays (assuming we don’t decide to drop out). If we had the money it would be safe to put $3 billion in escrow depending on everyone else paying or the US dropping out (whichever comes first)

That’s inline with the Paris agreement. If they want to argue that his points meet the letter of the agreement but not the spirit, they can be told to show how they’ve met the spirit of points 2 & 3 (they haven’t). Setting an aggressive goal is not going to do anything and Trump can make them look like fools if they want to play games.

If we pull out of the treaty ee can have energy prices lower than the rest of the developed nations. That gives energy intensive industries more incentive to leave Europe and come here.
