Speaking to the European Parliament, Jean-Claude Juncker categorically ruled out any re-negotiation of the Paris climate agreement.
The European Commission President said: "We have spent 20 years negotiating", and now was the time for implementation.
US President Trump has claimed that the accord could be amended and made more palatable to his country. Mr Trump announced earlier this month that the US would leave the pact.
In his remarks to MEPs, Jean-Claude Juncker described the US decision as not just a sad event, "it is a sign of abdication from common action in dealing with the fate of our planet".

Juncker did us a favor. Any renegotiation gives this nonsense a continued foot in the foor.

What is the concern over one of the most cleanest country on the planet dropping out?
Any concern over China or India destroying the planet?

They want our money.
They knew to make sure they got it, they’d need a treaty.
They didn’t get it.
Now they’ll have to fleece some other entity not run by Trump.
MAGA

Inside of a year not a single member of the accord will have contributed a dime nor taken a single required step.
Trump will again be proven correct.

The concern is that the US was supposed to PAY Indier and Chiner to stop destroying the planet.
