Barack Obama Responds to President Trump's Withdrawal From Paris Climate Deal
Time ^ | 6/1/17 | Maya Rhoden

Read the full statement below:

A year and a half ago, the world came together in Paris around the first-ever global agreement to set the world on a low-carbon course and protect the world we leave to our children.

It was steady, principled American leadership on the world stage that made that achievement possible. It was bold American ambition that encouraged dozens of other nations to set their sights higher as well. And what made that leadership and ambition possible was America’s private innovation and public investment in growing industries like wind and solar – industries that created some of the fastest new streams of good-paying jobs in recent years, and contributed to the longest streak of job creation in our history.

Simply put, the private sector already chose a low-carbon future. And for the nations that committed themselves to that future, the Paris Agreement opened the floodgates for businesses, scientists, and engineers to unleash high-tech, low-carbon investment and innovation on an unprecedented scale.

The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created. I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack. But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got.

I think I’m going to be sick to my stomach!

Obama is no longer the president. If he has any class, he would keep quiet, but he is clueless.

public investment in growing industries like wind and solar

And that's EXACTLY what it's all about. Redistribution from the poor to give to the Elon Musks and Tom Steyers of the world.

Suicide for carbon-based life forms. Which is all of them.

Dear President Trump,

Please put the criminal Barack Obama and Hillary in prison for their crimes against America and Americans.

Thank you,

America

I’m not convinced that all carbon-based lifeforms on the planet want a low-carbon future.
