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 planet’s 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.

We cut back pollution and China increased their pollution.
Don't see how that can be, since the progress on Glowbull Worming has been in the public discovering that it's a scam. Can't imagine how a Trump presidency would reverse that.
"Why aren't I ahead by 50 points?!"
Wow, the post is trying to sell the public on Trump now. I like it.
Or not. Scum being miserable isn't really an undesirable outcome.
Hot doggie! I hope so!
What progress? I thought we were a few years away from bursting into flames.
What global warming? Presumes facts not in evidence.
True. GloBULL warming is a communist myth cooked up in the waning days of the Soviet Union as a last-ditch attempt to destroy capitalism. The libtards found out about it when the Soviet archives were released and they decided to run with the idea. It’s 100% made up.
Burning oil and coal is what God intended. Otherwise He would not have designed the Earth to produce it for us to use. (Also, don’t fall for me “fossil fuels” nonsense. Oil and coal are constantly generated naturally deep in the Earth.)
Oh dear God, let it be so!
No one can KNOW the rate of global warming or global cooling. That’s God’s job.
Yet another reason to vote for mr Trump ! Thanks, wapo
Bigly desirable.
That’s the idea
Good timing, Drudge has an article tonight about the sun going blank again.

No sunspots is not a good thing, it means colder winters if it continues, and I think it will.
This article is a bit inaccurate though, the last mini ice age was about 200 years ago, ended about 1810 or so. the one in the 15th century was just as bad, and ~206 years earlier, in line with a 206 year solar cycle.
What do you mean what progress?
Sheesh, 0bama is trying to lower the sea levels and keep the arctic ice from melting and...and...and keep the polar bears from drowning!
Why are you so heartless!
That’s why I’m voting for him.
This, from the Washington Post editorial board?
Most of them still have pimples.
A November 8th victory is critically important for us.
