Donald Trump's personal integrity has been as riddled as anyone's favorite colander for decades .. he says the agreement was unfair to America, please tell me how it was more unfair to the US than it is unfair to any other of the signatories?? .. in claiming he did it to support Pittsburgh and other American cities, please tell me how his withdrawal will help any US city .. we'll see .. for one he has lost Elon Musk's contribution to his administration, for two most major American energy companies support continuing the battle against the human contribution to global warming .. now he claims he will renegotiate an agreement he cannot withdraw from until a day after the next American election .. Trump is an absurdity .. all you need to know about the Paris agreement here ..
The Paris Climate Deal: How to Understand Trump’s Decision

Trump has created a club of 3, the USA, Syria and Nicaragua .. i hope it will not become a club of 4.
Trump quits the Paris climate accord, denouncing it as a violation of U.S. sovereignty
[...]
Trump said the accord would allow China, India and other major polluters to continue emitting greenhouse gases while imposing unfair burdens on the U.S., and would cost the U.S. millions of jobs.
Supporters of the agreement, which include many Republican business leaders as well as environmental activists, say just the opposite — that steps to combat global warming would help the U.S. economy by building up new industries, especially solar and wind power. http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-paris-20170601-story.html
".. withdrawing from the Paris Agreement would [will] not bring jobs back as the free market has moved on .. withdrawing would [will] serve only to diminish America's moral standing, status and leverage in the world community .. in his eyes i guess that means making America great again .. f*witish?"
But it's not working out that way. A steady downpour today did little to wash away the fact that the jobs of 600 union employees are going south.
"They're going to Monterrey, Mexico," said Robert James, president of the local union.
Reynolds said he felt betrayed, since Mr. Trump told workers during his December visit to the plant that 1,100 jobs would be saved.
"And by the way, that number is going to go up very substantially as they expand this area, this plant," Mr. Trump said. "So the 1,100 is going to be a minimum number."
Blasting companies for moving American jobs abroad was a feature of the Trump campaign, and saving the Carrier jobs was touted as a sign of Mr. Trump's bargaining prowess.
"You're going to have a good Christmas," he said at the plant.
But the truth is that 400 of the 1,100 jobs Mr. Trump mentioned were white-collar positions that were never going away.
Only 700 union jobs were saved. Six hundred others will be lost, and Carrier is not paying a price. The company actually received a $7 million incentive package from Indiana to keep the plant open with a reduced work force.
"That is what he said was not going to happen," James said. "That's what he told all of us."
"And a lot of these people voted for Mr. Trump" with the understanding that he would save their jobs, James added.
Duane Oreskovic voted for the president, and is among those losing their jobs.
"I liked this job. This was a job that I actually wanted to retire from," Oreskovic said. "It's not going to happen any more."
At the White House Friday, press secretary Sean Spicer said the job cuts here were long-planned and nothing new.
The first round of layoffs will take effect next month, and the second in December -- three days before Christmas.
