Trump Just Formally Pulled the U.S. Out of the Paris Agreement. This Is a Dark Day for America.

On Monday, President Trump took the step he promised in 2017 to officially withdraw the United States from the Paris agreement on climate change, which every other country on Earth has signed. This is not America first; once again, it’s America isolated.

The “right” people are saddened and/or angered.

Oh, the hugh manatee!

Trump should leave the cities with the job of cleaning themselves up. Use the savings for the border wall.

We humans need carbon dioxide dissolved in our blood to be a substrate for the urea cycle biochemical reaction in our blood.This cycle converts protein derived ammonia (which would eventually kill us) to urea...which is much less toxic and then we excrete the urea. We need carbon dioxide. Hail carbon dioxide.

Thank God we finally have a President who doesn’t “play pretend”.

Pretend “Climate Treaty”.
Pretend “Iranian Treaty”.
Pretend Climate Change.
Pretend Impeachment.

The proponents of eliminating American sovereignty are unhappy.

It’s a great day for America.

That John Kerry? Yeah, didn’t he get shot in the ass with a grain of rice, got a paper cut on his thumb, did his own paperwork to get two Purple Heats, then throw someone else’s medals over the White House fence to protest the war? Oh, yeah, that guy..........married some stubby, funny-looking rich frump with a weird accent who smelled like pickles, IIRC.

It’s not a treaty,it’s an agreement,never ratified by the Senate,illegal

Dark Day? What a couple of Racists.

Boo Hoo girl is sad!

Go Trump! God Bless America!

Not to mention that you can’t sign on to a “treaty” that was never RATIFIED by Congress. Minor detail, I know......

By putting up roadblocks to the necessary transition to a low-carbon global economy, Trump is making American businesses less competitive and leaving new jobs and economic opportunities up for grabs to other countries.

Just what, exactly, is a "low-carbon economy"? We are carbon-based life forms; without carbon, the earth is just a lifeless rock like every other planet in the solar system. Carbon is a component of so many materials that we use industrially and in everyday life. What would we use instead of wood, plastic, paint, resins, etc.? Never mind, that question is moot. Once we remove all carbon from the earth, we don't exist and nothing else matters.

IF I had known W. was going to betray US with amnesty attempts in his second term and IF I knew that electing Kerry would have avoided the Kenyanesian Usurpation, I might have voted for Kerry.

Thanks be to God!

No penalty for early withdrawal.

[BuffaloJack]

Good.

The Urea Cycle - discovered by Krebs, et. al. Great post!
