Two countries were not in the agreement Syria and Nicaragua. America will be the third is this a sign of strength or weakness?

Do you know what we agreed to or are just listening to conserative opinions?

How am I wrong? Maybe I am wrong, but do you know why ?

You probably don't know why, you will probably answer with conservative talking points.

Your assertion about the big oil companies. The Koch brothers and others were big proponents of pulling out of the accord. Your assertion to the contrary is clearly based on your opinion with no foundation in the facts.

I imagine the same flawed foundation is present in your theory that this will hurt us as a world leader.

I do appreciate your snide remark about talking points, however, even a modicum of research would have revealed to you your ignorance. Yet you have the audacity to accuse others of spewing talking points. Never change!

He can withdraw immediately.

Obama could only sign this as an "executive agreement," which can be undone by a new President with a stroke of a pen.

Period.

ExxonMobil, Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and BP are all in favor of America staying in the Paris agreement.

Did you or did you not a pecifically mention the Koch brothers? Why? Where did you get the information to support that assertion?

Why should we be restricted on certain things but India and China can continue? Why are you anti-American business?

Yes he can, as I stated. However, I doubt that he bothers with it. I expect him, after announcing the intention to withdraw, to allow the accord to die on the vine rather than pruning it.

"Conservative Groups Pushing Trump to Exit Paris Climate Deal Have Taken Millions From Koch Brothers, Exxon"

Groups supported by the Koch brothers and Exxon are in favor of leaving the PA, however they are personally not in favor.

SoS Tillerson former Exxon CEO is in favor of staying in the agreement. Tillerson was the Koch brothers top choice for the job of SoS.

Many of Trumps staff is made up of Koch allies. Bannon is not one of them.

Many of his supports want out of PA, and he is getting out. But not for four years, after the next election.

Thus the shell game, you are following his hand, not the pea.



whatever

We are not going to do anything with respect to it. To say otherwise is farcical.

Why are libs kooks?

Not anti-American business. Is there more potential new jobs in renewable/clean energy or in oil and coal?

What major US employers are in favor of pulling out of the PA? Car manufacturers, GE, oil/energy, banking, etc.. are in favor of staying.

Why are you anti-American business?
