IT TOOK global negotiators a quarter-century to strike the Paris climate agreement, an international accord aimed at slowing global warming. The agreement represents the best hope for a world in which no one country acting alone can do enough to fight this global threat. Donald Trump could destroy the agreement with a stroke of a pen, and with it any hope that the world will keep the planets temperature within the boundaries scientists say are safe.
The Paris deal represents a major U.S. commitment, but it is not a treaty with the force of law. President Obama submitted the U.S. emissions goal; Mr. Trump could withdraw it just as easily. He also could deeply undercut or eliminate the basis for any future U.S. commitment. Mr. Trump has promised to rescind the Clean Power Plan, which obliges electrical utilities to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions by cutting down on coal burning and increasing their use of natural gas and renewables. The Environmental Protection Agency drew up the plan using authorities that Congress gave it decades ago in the Clean Air Act. Mr. Trump could press the agency to revoke it or water it down.

The Compost is going all out in their hatred of Trump. I hope these people will be able to come to terms when he’s elected president.
I would be terribly disappointed if he didnt wreck progress on global warming.
Thats pretty much the point of Trump really.
Who'd a thunk it?
We can hope that President Trump will do this.
The EPA has become a tyranny most foul.
[an international accord aimed at slowing global warming]
Actually aimed at impoverishing millions instead.
I was already supporting him, I don’t need extra reasons.
The America-hating, Democrat fags on the WaPo Editorial Bored are panicking again. Geez. These jerks need a hobby or a second job.
I certainly hope he does just that.

“Progress?,” “Progress?” It’s in the eye of the beholder.
I love your rationale! I think the same way.
Like Trump cares what Jeff Bezos thinks of him.
Looks like Washington Post is getting desperate...
Onion would have believed in Global Warming.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
These scumbags helped to manufacture the bogus crisis that has half the population demanding a solution at any cost.
The MSM is the World’s greatest threat.
A President Trump could wreck progress on global warming
I sure hope he does and put an end to this boondoggle.
