The head of the United Nations on Tuesday warned the United States against leaving the Paris climate deal, saying other countries would fill a “void” if President Trump decides to step away from the landmark agreement.
“If one country decides to leave a void, I can guarantee someone else will occupy it,” Secretary-General António Guterres said during an event at New York University on Tuesday.
Guterres warned that international adversaries such as China and Russia could step into a global leadership role if Trump backs off the climate commitments made by former President Obama under the Paris agreement.

Warns?!? Hahahahaha....then he sites Russia hahahahaha. Half of Europe is terrified of Russia
It is much more likely that if we pull out of the global warming carnage, others will pull out too.
Oooohhh....I’m scared now.
The Chinese and Russians are shameless polluters and will do whatever they please. Why should we limit our economy, regardless what they do?
That’s right...
