Earth is likely to reach more dangerous levels of warming even sooner if the U.S. retreats from its pledge to cut carbon dioxide pollution, scientists say. That's because America contributes so much to rising temperatures.
President Donald Trump, who once proclaimed global warming a Chinese hoax, said in a tweet Wednesday that he would make his "decision over the next few days" on whether the United States stays in or leaves the 2015 Paris climate change accord in which nearly every nation agreed to curb its greenhouse gas emissions.
Leaders of seven wealthy democracies, at a summit in Sicily, urged Trump to commit his administration to the agreement, but said in their closing statement that the U.S., for now, "is not in a position to join the consensus."
"I hope they decide in the right way," said Italy's prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni. More downbeat was German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who said the leaders' talks were "very difficult, if not to say, very unsatisfactory."
In an attempt to understand what could happen to the planet if the U.S. pulls out of Paris, the Associated Press consulted with more than two dozen climate scientists and analyzed a special computer model scenario designed to calculate potential effects.
Scientists said it would worsen an already bad problem and make it far more difficult to prevent crossing a dangerous global temperature threshold.
Calculations suggest it could result in emissions of up to 3 billion tons of additional carbon dioxide in the air a year. When it adds up year after year, scientists said that is enough to melt ice sheets faster, raise seas higher and trigger more extreme weather.
"If we lag, the noose tightens," said Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer, co-editor of the peer-reviewed journal Climatic Change.

ANSWER: Nothing. Next question?
Well there would be some profits lost by Carbon Credit Traitors.
Yup.
The Weather Channel is in full propaganda mode.
What happens?
We close one of the many billions of dollars black holes that the idiot destructionists have us pouring our economy into.
Will dogs and cats live together?
Will there be mass hysteria?
What Happens If U.S. Quits Climate Deal?
...
It will make it harder for the global crooks to steal our money.
The Chinese will invade us.
“Scientists say.”
Which scientists say?
When it adds up year after year, scientists said that is enough to melt ice sheets faster...
This is really about controlling the entire population of the world by controlling the byproduct of pretty much all human activity.
Answer: NOTHING. Let’s try it and see.
Everyone will die, but polar bear cubs will die first.
Democrat coastal cities will drown, but the water will not protect them from the flames, they will simply drown in boiling water. Dreamers will die first, because they are hiding in shadows and cannot seek higher ground for fear that ICE (how ironic) will get them.
Only a true James Bond villain would do something so radical and murderous as to withdraw from this peaceful treaty.

Take it away Kuni...
"NOTHING!! Absolutely NOTHING!!"
"STOO-PID!!! YOU SO STOO-PID!!!"
Have you watched the weather channel lately? It is telling you things your mother already taught you, with occasional apocolyptic predictions between aarp commercials.
These idiots are full of sage advice like stay inside if there is a thunderstorm and slow down during dust storms. And, there is always a torcon index 3 somewhere.
