I sure hope he doesn't pull us out of the Paris pact, for two reasons, one noble, and the other purely selfish.

The noble reason is that remaining in the agreement is the morally right thing to do.

But selfishly, I hope he chooses to remain. That will so alienate his base that Republicans will stay home in 2018, Democrats will take over both houses of Congress, and this imposter will face certain impeachment.

The Paris pact does nothing. Reducing carbon is only going to happen if technology makes a step change in efficiency, that technology happens with or without this agreement. The 2 billion people living abject poverty today aren't going to abide by this agreement when use of coal and oil will give them a better life.

Withdrawing from Paris is the moral thing to do.

Selfishness is the other countries who agreed to this Accord, yet won't be the primary ones footing the bill or the one's actually making meaningful reductions in emissions (i.e. China).

Also, I don't need you or the government telling me what is the moral thing for us to be doing.

The US saves a lot of money while making the same impact on "climate change"

Moral thing to do is redistribute $100B of Amarican wealth to the rest of the "global community?" Really? This agreement won't accomplish anything relative to emissions and climate change. Other countries are already in violation of their commitments.

Between this and your rooting for impeachment you must really hate America. Self loathing liberal.

Nothing...

By staying in -

The U.S. commitment would only avert an increase in temperature of about 15/1,000 of a degree by the year 2100.

Increase electricity prices about 25 to 30 percent.

Commits the American taxpayer to pay the lion’s share of the $100-billion-per-year Green Climate Fund, a direct wealth transfer to the rest of the world.

United States cripples itself economically with regulations, and then it pays the rest of the world for the privilege of doing so in increased foreign aid.

Do you want a whole list of other things we have in common with Syria and Nicaragua?

You argue we should be in the accord because if we aren't we will be like Syria and Nicaragua. However, if we are in it we will be like China, Iraq, Iran, Russia, Sudan, Somalia and I could go on and on.
