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.

Yes cause we are in debt by a lot and cant spare money for other countries when we need help ourselves.
this topic doesn't matter to me.
N/A don't understand this agreement.
No, but other countries do need to be held to the same standard.
Yes, until other countries are held to the same standard and there is a way for the general public to be able to weigh in(maybe through votes) to ensure the people support the goals. We can’t run before we can crawl and today there are not enough resources available and technological advances have not been made yet to support 100% transition to electric cars right now for example. We should be pushing awareness with cited sources and hybrid cars because they are more affordable and reliable until electric cars are capable and affordable.
No, as long as other countries are held to the same standards
i don't really know much about this
no, we should push others to uphold the same standards.
NO, but make better ways
No, reducing carbon emissions should be a collective effort.
No, They should try to encourage more countries to join
no because we are better then other countries we should not compare to them we need to be better
yes we shouldnt compare ourselves to other countries we should want to be better then them
No, global warming is real and is now, of we don't do something right now we all gonna die, as we deserve
No, but we should hold other countries more accountable to climate change.
It seems this Paris Climate Accord isn't really effective since China and India are restricted less, and President Trump is only focusing on the restrictions, not reducing carbon emissions. We need to solve and take climate change seriously.
i really don’t know a lot about that subject to say
I don’t have a answer to this question
