Should President Trump honor the Paris Climate Agreement?

If it doesn't benefit America in a positive way, I say no

No

No.

It's time to stop wasting money on pseudoscience generated crap.

No. It's likely Exxon's support is because it hamstrings their competition in some manner, not because they are afraid the Earth is going warm.

Most appropriate honor is a thorough shredding and a burial at sea through the White House toilet. Double flush.

No. Exxon simply wants less competition.

I think Exxon knows that under emissions controls, gas booms because it takes market share from coal faster than it loses it to renewables.

No and he shouldn't raise taxes on people making under $190k per year while lowering taxes for billionaires

nope

I don't remember the Senate signing off on it so it is not a valid agreement to join it in the first place.

Can anyone make a case to keep it?

Sure:

(1) Global warming is
(1a) real (insert basic physics lecture),
(1b) anthropogenic (insert graph of natural forcing declines),
(1c) a net economic cost (insert the gremlin-free version of Tol's paper),
(1d) with significant long-term consequences already baked in (insert graph of Eemian-period proxies).

(2) It's also only possible to solve multilaterally

(3) Reneging on this deal will make it much tougher to get another one

(4) The deal's impacts on the US are minor, since replacing coal with natgas would meet our targets and that's already happening

No US President has ever honored any treaty (just ask the indigenous Americans or check how many tons of bio/chem munitions we currently have). Why place that burden of being the 1st on POTUS Trump when he already has taken on the entire political swamp, fixing the messes of POTUS's 1-44, and countering domestic terrorism by our own govt and peoples?
