Mayor Rahm Emanuel formally announced Wednesday the city's support of the Paris climate agreement as Chicago welcomed mayors and leaders from around the world for a three-day conference about the global role of cities.
The Chicago Council on Global Affairs' gathering seeks to get civic leaders and policy makers to brainstorm on the future influence of cities on the world around us. This year's focus was economics, and the discussion including growing concern about the impact of environmental policy on cities.
"The decisions we make in the next two to three years will determine what our cities look like in the next 20 to 30 years," Emanuel said as he toured Millenium Park with Toronto's Mayor John Tory.
The mayor's support comes after President Donald Trump pulled out of the agreement, but amid municipal leaders vowing to maintain environmental commitments independently.
"This president, on this policy, is wrong and I will not silence my voice as it relates to the future of the city of Chicago," Emanuel said.....

Collusion with foreign governments.
Good luck with that, Dead Fish!
The Mayor is very concerned about lead poisoning and we should welcome his solutions.
Chicago’s credit rating, ha ha ha, no blood in that turnip.
Gotta be...where’s the judge who will say so?
How I wish we could secede from Chicago, the downstaate part of IL is as red as it’s neighbors but we’re outnumbered and outvoted. I’ve heard for years “Chicago is the economic engine of the state”. Well let’s secede and see how long that engine runs without any food.
So best I can tell 2 broke “entities” are trying to keep the accord alive with others threatening to follow suit. Methinks the parasites will lose interest quickly if there’s no money in it for them. It’s kabuki. d:^)
Treason.
“...Welcome, welcome to our town
Hope nobody tries to gun you down...”
It’s nothing. If these states and cities commit to the climate deal, they owe the UN money. Illinois is broke.
Chicago cannot keeps its children from being shot,
and cannot pay the pensions owed... but no matter
to the ballerina-Mayor.
Sorry Rahm, but Chicago needs lots of money to support that scam, and it ain’t got none. The “agreement” has no other substance except money. Somebody else’s.
This, and similar actions by other ‘RAT cities/states, is completely MEANINGLESS. What will Chicago do that it will not already do? It certainly won’t provide hundreds of billions of dollars to the 3rd world nations as was intended for the United States as a whole.
Good. Now Texas can undercut the buttwipes in virtually everything.
When does the ballerina write the trillion dollar check to China?
Its all about tax revenue
Quick on the draw ain’t yah:) LOL!!!
Ah yes. Chicago can now dig up its streets and sidewalks, as they generate heat, and return to horsedrawn carriages on dirt paths.
Yo Rahm, maybe you could send some of the $ billions the rest of American won’t be sending thanks to DJT.
