Last week, President Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. But it will take more than one speech to pull out: Under the rules of the deal, which the White House says it will follow, the earliest any country can leave is Nov. 4, 2020. That means the United States will remain a party to the accord for nearly all of Mr. Trump’s current term, and it could still try to influence the climate talks during that span.
So the next four years will be a busy time for climate policy. Mr. Trump’s aides plan to keep working to dismantle domestic climate programs like the Clean Power Plan. And the world’s nations will meet regularly to hash out details of the Paris agreement, even as the United States’ exit looms. Here is what comes next.
November 2017
Negotiators for 195 nations will meet in Bonn, Germany, to discuss how to carry out the Paris agreement. Every country has already submitted an initial pledge for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. But officials now have to write rules for monitoring and verifying those pledges.
Technically, the United States is still the co-chair of a key committee on transparency measures. In the past, American officials have taken a keen interest in this topic, pushing for robust oversight of emissions. By contrast, countries like China have argued for looser scrutiny for developing nations.
“The question is whether the Trump administration still shows up for those discussions,” said Andrew Light, a senior climate change adviser at the State Department under President Barack Obama. “If they really are pushing to ‘renegotiate’ the deal, as they say, I don’t see why they wouldn’t go.”

Who says we can’t?
I see the Admin Mod deleted your comment at #7.
Good.
At this point, I ignore any “news” from the Times or Washington Post.
Dear President Trump:
If you need someone to tell them that we are already out, please contact me c/o this forum.

The NYT leftist traitors should be more worried about being hanged for treason, rather than the global warming farce.
They claim we radifed it, and Obama never got the agreement
ratified by 67 senators as is required to become effective.
This is a scam, Obama’s signature was null and void to start with, with out ratification which he never even came close to getting.

Unlike most countries this is not a dictatorship, Obama can’t ‘bypass the senate’. Its either radifed or its just the president’s personal word. The word of a man who is no longer president.
I’m sure Obama will continue to keep the agreement as a private citizen. The USA never agreed to it.
“We already left it. No enforcement, no recourse for the socialists to take our money.”
They are right Trump can’t just leave the Paris agreement, the 67 senator has agree to join the Paris agreement first.
lol Obama never even came close to getting the senate to agree to it. instead he claimed he could ‘bypass it’. But I’m sorry but the U.S. Constitution requires 67 senators to agree to any treaty. Otherwise its basically just the current president’s word.

“Already Gone”
Well, I heard some people talkin’ just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you’ll soon find out it’s true
And then you’ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
‘Cause I’m already gone
And I’m feelin’ strong
I will sing this vict’ry song, woo, hoo,hoo,woo,hoo,hoo
Hahaha....the New York Times reminds me of that psycho ex-girlfriend that says “no, you can’t break up with me”....Wasn’t there an episode of Seinfeld where George tried breaking up with girl and she said “no”?
