In June 2017, President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord in an effort to boost the nation’s industry and energy independence. Mr. Trump argued that the climate accord was unfair to the U.S. since the agreement imposed easier restrictions on China and India who lead the world in carbon emissions. Opponents of the climate agreement argue that it unfairly penalizes U.S. energy companies and consumers by imposing restrictions on domestic energy production. Proponents of the climate accord argue that exiting it sets back decades of diplomatic efforts by the U.S. government to reduce worldwide carbon emissions.

The U.S. should not withdraw from the Paris agreement because it's an amazing agreement dedicated to bettering our planet. Some may argue that we should leave because other Countries are not holding up their end of the deal. I disagree with this because just because they are doesn't me we should. We agreed with it, and we need to stick with it in the end, at least, we can say we tried instead of giving up simply because that is what everyone else was doing.
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
Yes
@98L5TX43wks
We can’t afford to open our wallets to payoff the world! Plus we are penalized as China cashes in.
@ISIDEWITH5yrs
Yes, until other countries are held to the same standards
@8DGDGGV2yrs
No! It is hurting the US that #45 pulled us out of the Paris Accord. The US needs to be in the Paris Accord, as it is a group of smart, caring nations who want to protect our environment. Right now glaciers are melting, there are wildfires in California, tropical storms are more frequent & are more dramatic. We need to work on this as a nation, and with other countries.
im not very familar on this topic
@98WKM6N10hrs
I believe that the idea is genius, however we shouldn’t withdraw, but merely try to gain the same standards for all countries.
@98WJDR411hrs
No, but impose more strict restrictions for carbon emissions for all countries
@98WFWR7Libertarian12hrs
No, only if it is beneficial to our country.

Every country should be held to reduce their carbon emissions at equal values, but the U.S should not leave

I don't have a say in this
@98VK9PV2 days
Countries like the U.S are not responsible for most of the carbon footprint and greenhouse gasses. poorer countries like Venezuela are.
@98VK2J72 days
No, because we have a standard but also find ways so that other countries hold to them too.
@98VHZWK2 days
Yes, the United States people, governing body, and as a leading world power should take steps towards a greener world on their own accord and lead by example as well as not limit themselves through agreements

No, and make other countries join using the power of freedom.

@98TS7PC3 days
@98TS7683 days
I feel that climate has changed fro 2015 so we should appropriately alter the agreement
@98TS3773 days
They shouldn’t unless it gets bad or corrupt
@98TL2RS4 days
No, however the United State should negotiate with the other countries to either decrease the U.S. carbon emissions restrictions or increase the restrictions on China and India.
@98TJS4X4 days
I'm not educated enough on the topic to contribute my opinion
@98TCKBW4 days
No, but they should push harder to hold equal standards and be willing to leave if they aren't
