President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord has put the world on notice that “America First” is not just a campaign slogan — it’s his administration’s guiding doctrine.
Trump on Thursday delivered on a key campaign promise by announcing he will pull the U.S. out of a 190-country agreement that former President Obama entered into less than nine months ago.
Obama had hailed the Paris Agreement as a “turning point for our planet” and the culmination of “an intense diplomatic effort” that drew scores of countries, cultures and governments into a pact aimed at slowing the rise in global temperatures.
Critics of Obama, including Trump, called the agreement another example of him putting foreign interests ahead of America’s.

Isn’t there a judge in Seattle or Hawaii that can undo this”? :-D
He’s a man of his word.
Trump has also put the middle class and poor of the world first rather than the global elite. Make power cheap for jobs world wide.
My crepe myrtles are celebrating the withdrawal from the climate accord by blooming today. lol
> Isn’t there a judge in Seattle or Hawaii that can undo this”? :-D
How? Obama signed without Congress and only Congress has the authority to enter into a treaty like this, so it was never legal to begin with. How would a judge rule on this can of worms? There is no standing.
This is what I call a real President. Go President Trump.
Now would be a Great time to help these other countries in their endeavor, If President Trump and Putin were to team up to help them by immediately Halting ALL Sales of Carbon Based Energy to these Countries it will dramatically help them achieve their goals on Global Warming.
While the whole of the EU imported 53.4 percent of its energy consumption in 2014, Germany’s dependency was even higher with an import share of 61.4 percent – only slightly below the previous year’s all-time high of 62.6 percent.

I was joking, but also touching on the issue of “they seem to find a way, no matter how ridiculous.”
Search 1970s and global cooling. I lived through this effort.

Trump hasnt gone squishy...we need to back him up!
Don’t forget this gem from the past:-
“The outstanding generalizations of my world tour are what may be summed up as the “six overs”; these “six overs” are, in the genetic order of cause and effect:
Over-destruction of natural resources, now actually world-wide;
Over-mechanization, in the substitution of the machine for animal and human labor, rapidly becoming world-wide;
Over-construction of warehouses, ships, railroads, wharves and other means of trans- port, replacing primitive transportation;
Over-production both of the food and of the mechanical wants of mankind, chiefly during the post-war speculative period;
Over-confidence in future demand and supply, resulting in the too rapid extension of natural resources both in food and in mechanical equipment;
Over-population beyond the land areas, or the capacity of the natural and scientific resources of the world, with consequent permanent unemployment of the least fitted.

Same tired complaints, recycled time and again, for the eternal “crisis which is our fault”.
The ‘solutions’ always remain the same even though the scare has evolved to the complete opposite claim of what it once was. This is basically a give away that the motivations and goals of these people are political, not scientific. It’s called “…therefore, socialism.” It’s getting too hot, therefore, socialism. It’s getting too cold, therefore, socialism. There are too many people, therefore, socialism. There are too few people, therefore, socialism. Funny, how no matter what the problem is, the solution always seems to be to give a select group of people, with no discernible expertise in any particular subject, more and more of our money and freedom.
Like that has stopped radical judges.
It was a grossly unfair agreement with China and other countries allowed to go on unchecked while burdening the United States with restrictions.
And how many of those 190 signed-up just to get free money with zero concern about the 'climate'?
Lovin’ it!! More winning...
It was all burdens and costs to USA and Western Europe, benefits to China, India, and the “3rd World” developing countries.
Europeans seem eager to submit their whiny guilt trips to this agreement.
Americans, real Americans, are now fighting back.
One of the most ridiculous aspects is all the libtards who claim that the Paris Accord means millions of new jobs to the USA - a LIE. It has numerous untold costs and burdens for the USA.
