We all know that government likes to grow government. This accord, had Hillary won, would have gone down like this IMO:
I will assume the US is to stick by what the accord says.
Current agencies would have grown in scope to enforce the domestic goals of the accord. It's possible new agencies maight have been formed for further regulation.
This wouldnt' have had to be ratified by Congress, and we as a country would still be facing the hardships from an international agreement.
I'm quite glad we are not apart of the accord.

Sounds like more stamping of feet.
Love being held hostage over a non binding agreement.
Sweet.
If they are willing to forgo our relationship over a non binding agreement then both parties have some soul searching to do.

Because no one else involved is willing to negotiate with us. You do understand it takes more Than one willing party to enter into negotiations.

So nobody will want to negotiate with the folks that were bank rolling the whole operation? That sounds retarded at best.

Is that sarcasm? If not, you obviously are not paying attention what so ever. If it is, have an up vote.

So you are suggesting that we should have stayed in while not actively participating (because it was non binding) just so we can look good to the cool kids?

If Trump really wanted to negotiate, he could have stayed in and negotiated while at the table.
France and Germany released a statement yesterday saying that the deal could not be renegotiated. Maybe Trump was already told that last week at the G7? Also, some of the common sense request like determining baselines would blow the deal up. Remember, this deal wasn't a slam dunk let's make a deal party. It barely got across the finish line and only because Obama and the EU were willing to accept just about anything just to get a deal.
As a libertarian, I'm probably about as far to the left on environmental issues as you can get and still consider yourself a libertarian. I would love to see the world do more to protect the environment. I'm more concerned about what we are doing to the oceans via illegal dumping and plastics accumulation. There are near term real world environmental gains that could be made that would improve the quality of life for people now. Countries for whatever reasons are ignoring these issues. Instead of facing up to these real and pressing issues, the climate change movement is chasing a unicorn.
Most countries have no reliable means to even track GHG emissions. How do you reduce something you can't even track? Use the $100 billion annually? How many countries would actually even meet their financial obligations? Even if the funds are raised, how much is lost to corruption when handed out to these different countries?
The deal is bad and won't accomplish anything for the environment. The whole climate change movement is putting the cart before the horse. Most countries in the world can't protect the environment from the pollution that is generated daily but are going to save the world from GHG? To paraphrase Denis Leary, "Before worrying about saving the world from GHG, worry about saving your hair"
