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.

I believe we should pursue better incentives, but it is unfair how not the same restrictions are imposed on India, China, and other nations, I believe the United States should withdraw to protect its energy purposes and at least until everyone is held for the same standard of energy.
@9XSR4WW 7mos7MO
No, but countries such as India and China should be increasingly held to the same standards as other countries in the same agreement.
@9GYWZSQ2yrs2Y
We should continue to be a part of the agreement, as well as hold other countries to the same standard.
@9G2TWJGIndependent2yrs2Y
I feel that no country should be held to a higher standard we should all be held to the same very high standard to reduce global emissions.
@9B2Y8H52yrs2Y
Depending on the circumstance. If it is for a short period of time, and it is very important. Rather than for a not important issue.
@96BK9YT3yrs3Y
No, and it should attempt to go beyond the bare regulations set as well as encourage other countries to follow suit (whether it be joining or going above).
@922M2Y23yrs3Y
No, we should stay in our position and help out on things that help out the world

Agnostic. The Paris Climate Agreement is non-binding so there is really no point to it.

@9C3XJGY2yrs2Y
No, but I feel other Countries should/must be held to the same standards (somehow)
Even though the other countries arent pulling their parts in helping the environment we should still do ours cause even a little bit of recycling can go a long way
