Agreed. They keep saying the United States has "withdrawn" from the Paris accord. I would argue we never "joined" it to begin with. Obama implemented it by executive order. If you check the record, OTHER nations ratified the treaty by submitting it to their legislature. The UK, China, Jamaica, Brazil, Japan, the Philippines, Australia, etc., etc., all passed the Paris accord by majority vote in their legislature. Our government never submitted it to the House or Senate for approval, and hence the United States of America never formally "joined".
If the media wants to blame someone for that, look no further than Barack Obama.
