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.

No, even if other countries can't meet those standards, the U.S. should still hold their end of the agreement.
@9BY95M6Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
i don'y know enough about it
@9BVVWTM2yrs2Y
Not 100% sure what that is

It's not my problem what the U.S. does with Paris.
@96KDVDC3yrs3Y
I don't really know how to answer this.
@94T3Q4V3yrs3Y
No, but the UN needs to press the US in actual laws to stay in the agreement
@92G3JZC3yrs3Y
I dont really have an opinion on this topic
@8ZYZFRH3yrs3Y
No, but hold other countries accountable.
@8ZRLZSY3yrs3Y
No, but other countries should be held proportionally responsible for their carbon emissions.
@8ZPCX29Republican3yrs3Y
The treaty has not been working, a new treaty needs to be implimented.
@8ZKJT5J3yrs3Y
Not too sure about the Paris Climate Agreement to make an evaluated decision.
@8Y27DNB3yrs3Y
no, because we are a powerful country and if they see the usa doing it they will join in time
@8XR7DVB3yrs3Y
Yes because if you look at the numbers China makes the Most Carbon emissions a year at 31 percent but they're not being held to many standards
@8X2KF4MIndependent4yrs4Y
No, but I think that all countries should be held to the same standard.
@8WXL76X4yrs4Y
Depends on more research to make an opinion.
@8WRW9D24yrs4Y
yes until other countries are held to the same standard, but implement our own restrictions
@8WRVY9GRepublican4yrs4Y
Yes, U.S. is paying for the mistakes for others when countries like China get a discount for pollution.
@8WN3XF84yrs4Y
No, but ask the other countries to do the same
@8WHPPKN4yrs4Y
no, since we are already in it
@8SJD4QSConstitution4yrs4Y
@8RRWK874yrs4Y
Eh, I don't really stress over that
@8N8SHKX5yrs5Y
i dont think i should be asked these questions
@9BYXSFF2yrs2Y
Yes but continue to fight climate change on our own
@9BYT4J9Women’s Equality2yrs2Y
No but the Paris climate agreement should have punishments to those that continue to harm the environment, whether its with fines or something else as punishment.
@9BJQQWG2yrs2Y
Yes, because climate change in other countries is not the United States' responsibility.
@9B4TNLRRepublican2yrs2Y
Dont even know what that is
@99TCYGP2yrs2Y
We can't change climate change so we are essentially just giving resources to Paris
@99PSR532yrs2Y
No, but we should fight until all countries are held to the same, higher standard.
@972J54C3yrs3Y
I do not think the US should withdraw but I think there needs to be some changes for other countries to get penalized
@8WP2ZG54yrs4Y
Yes, until other countries are held to the same standards but also not allow it if its NOT necessary
@9HW97FT1yr1Y
While I think climate change is blown out of proportion, renewables are the future of energy so I support the change to renewables.
@99SDPLW2yrs2Y
I believe in God's Kingdom
