Can anyone give me a good reason to not pull out of the Paris climate deal?

No liberals only give shitty reasons.

It was Barry's idea.


That's the only reason liberals need.

I wouldn't have put it into Paris in the first place because that pussy is probably pretty rank and you'll likely get AIDS.

The only other two countries who didn't sign the deal are Syria and Nicaragua. Who doesn't want more in common with those guys.

Even if you want to deny climate change, there is zero upside to walking away from these Accords.

And that is why the former CEO of Exxon is one of the sane people in the room telling Trump how dumb this move would be.... Along with coal, oil, and natural gas companies.

If you really want to put "America First" walking away from the head seat at the table of one of the most important and consequential global economic forums is flat out asinine. It is going to shape the future of the largest economies and the world stage, whether we show up or not.

Instead of being able to build the inevitable shifting of the economic order around your country first and foremost, around your interests, you willingly confer that benefit to everyone else. And in all likelihood, China becomes the greatest beneficiary. Who has been positioning themselves to take the lead if we step down for months now

Instead of negotiating and putting American companies on the best footing, we are willingly saying we rather sit on the sidelines, and stand on the outside looking in.

We'd rather be the ones to lead the charge to protect the environment than let others (China) make the rules. This is a critical point in history. Our longevity as a species is at risk if we don't set up some standards and practices for the world to follow in regards to keeping our planet healthy.

do you have any idea how us pulling out of that would impact the global Covfefe market?

It just further marks Trump's efforts to make the US a second tier country.

I'm not ever in favor of ceding American global power, even about mostly benign things like the Paris Agreement. If we want to dictate the terms of the agreement, which we can, then we should stay in it and dictate those terms. If we exit, we lose a key negotiating tool. I'm guessing that Trump thinks that the agreement will fall apart without the US, but I don't think it will.

Regardless, the desire to cede US power doesn't strike me as America First. International politics is much more nuanced than that, and Trump presented a brilliant opportunity to do some great things, and he's bungled them so far with regards to foreign relations.
