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, because it was signed 8 years ago and I also think that if you sign a treaty you shouldn't be able to get rid of the treaty until it has been 10 years from when it was last signed
@9J7P5NK1yr1Y
I believe we should stay in agreement with the Paris climate accord to reduce carbon emissions but I believe other places should do the same as well.
@9DF753X2yrs2Y
No, but many others should be influenced by this standard.
@96CCV823yrs3Y
I don't think the Paris Climate Agreement is doing enough to battle climate change
@96C7L5R3yrs3Y
I Don't really have a Stance
@8W2B6J24yrs4Y
no, try to negotiate the restrictions on the U.S so at least we could do our part
@8W243M64yrs4Y
No, instead encourage other countries to be held to the same standards and if that can't be done then withdraw.
@8VZ5CC44yrs4Y
No, but other countries, when they reach the same scale, should be held to the same regulations.
@8TY4T6Z4yrs4Y
I don't really care at the moment.
@8RXQNM44yrs4Y
Yes, carbon emissions from the U.S. have been declining since exiting
@8JK4V3P5yrs5Y
I fell every country should have the right to regulate themselves because unfair placement of rules in the case of China and India compared to America
@8DVSVPB5yrs5Y
A new one need negotiated. the largest populous countries need to do more to eliminate emissions.
@99RTNQ92yrs2Y
Does any of this matter? No.

I'm not really sure what the Paris Climate Agreement is.
@998L2QW2yrs2Y
@97XYTDHProgressive2yrs2Y
No, unless countries can agree upon a more effective policy to reduce the effects of climate change.
@937PCRJ3yrs3Y
They should go beyond the Paris Climate Agreement, not a set goal but overall change.
@8NT473WConstitution5yrs5Y
Yes, and taxes on imports should be raised for countries who do not hold the same standards and restrictions should be imposed.
I do not have enough information about the Paris Climate Agreement
