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, but they should hold other countries to the same standards and request for them to take a stand as well.
@9WJLNZM7mos7MO
No, but demand reform to the agreement so that all countries will be held to the same accountability.
@9F9WR4V2yrs2Y
Yes, until other countries are held to standards proportionate to their population or industry size. I do not know enough about this subject to formulate an opinion.

Global warming is another false flag the government uses to control and scare Americans into submission.

It doesn't matter to me because I don't work in the energy area.
@8PTQP6M4yrs4Y
not too sure what that is
@8NTPH9X5yrs5Y
I don't really know much about this..
@8N2YT245yrs5Y
Yes, it's not effective enough for how much it costs. Something else is needed.

@8MKMC4V5yrs5Y
No, make it a united world effort to study the change in the climate.
@8LTLNYR5yrs5Y
I feel like I do not know enough about the topic to be able to make an opinion.
@8LMBV4F5yrs5Y
Yes. “Sets back decades of diplomatic efforts”?? Is that the best arguement? If the agreement isn’t beneficial, find another way. Years of effort doesn’t mean anything if the end product doesn’t work.

No, because we are pulling out of a mutually agreed upon contract. we need to uphold our side of the bargain.

No, we need to do our part to help the world, even if other countries aren't
@8X5WCJF4yrs4Y
No, because carbon emissions will become drastically greater
