Axios: Trump is pulling U.S. out of Paris climate deal
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
.....Seriously?
Yes. Might as well see why someone would entertain going through with this.
Just because he has meetings doesn't mean he didn't already stupidly make up his mind.
That said, here's hoping this was leaked as a feeler and he was just testing the waters.
Either way, what a fucking dunce.

I'm not in the US, so I have had no influence on this election whatsoever. The decisions this pathetic man is making out of blatant, obvious greed and pettiness, all the while being cheered on by the people whose very lives he's destroying, is frustrating and maddening to no end.
Now imagine feeling that way, but actually being from the US. I think that might actually be worse.
So while I understand where you are coming from, I would respectfully suggest you direct your anger solely to the people responsible for the actions that caused it.
I personally am so sorry for all the US citizens that do not want this, forced to watch this idiot behave like the incompetent fool he is, in name of their country.
One week later: Trump formally announces withdrawal from Paris Accord

Jesus effing Christ! If I've learned something about trump is that whatever options are available he goes for the extreme opposite of the best one he could take.
Gotta join the other superpowers that are also not in the Paris deal like Nicaragua and Syria!

Not sure about stuff like that, as economics is outside my purview. However, I imagine my Prez will just try to sanction back the other countries. Then again congress might get a backbone and try to stop it.
Americas social link with Syria* got a +1
*one of the only countries not part of the agreement.
Even fucken north Korea is part of it
The fact alone that a head of an important nation behaves like this is not exactly reassuring for the rest of the world.

Yeah, lol, that's generally how this stuff goes. Something terrible leaks, there's either denial or 'not really made the decision yet', and it eventually happens in some form or another. Happened with the rolling back of LGBT rights, the religious freedom stuff (thankfully that was very neutered in compared to the rumors), and I'm sure it'll be a similar situation here.
Just now?

This idiot is taking the US back to the 50s. While the rest of the world moves on.

For his supporters: Either Trump is right and climate change is a hoax created by the Chinese for, um, some fucking reason or Trump is wrong and he ends up bringing about those end times they're so fond of. Win-win.
They revel in the suffering of others. They want the world to end.

Another attempt to rebrand herself as the moderating force behind climate change.
Also, maybe if we call it the Trump Climate Deal (and leave all the details the same), we can save the planet.
The real killer.

I would imagine people would get a little pissed at the potential (inevitable) death of our world.
You are wrong. We understand this. And I have provided you with an example how a small group is organising protests all over Europe, transcending borders, language barriers and cultures, every week!

Where is Ivanka, the moderating influence?
True, I should emphasize that I strongly oppose how Trump treats this international agreement. But I wonder if the US pulling out would indeed increase the fucked-upness with such a large scale? IF(!!) the EU/China/Australia/ all other rational governments can prevent a ripple effect.
Now, another question that now comes to mind is: can the other developed nations fill the financing gap that the US leaves behind?

I'd say it mattered greatly for anyone that got on board after November 8th.

Wrote to both of my moronic GOP senators this morning urging them to talk to the Orange Turd (didn't use those words). How Senators in NC can stand by and let this simple-minded fucktard screw over humanity is beyond me. The whole damn eastern shore is dealing with beach erosion from rising waters. Ugh. Dumbasses. They won't do anything, but I wrote to them anyway.
Edit - and just found out Tillis is one of the morons who urged Trump to pull out in the first place. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people?

Nicaragua said they won't agree because it's not enough, not because they don't believe in climate change
...And can someone really blame Syria?

Pretty sure the +2C was a pipe dream a long, long time ago, we're already at +1.4C compared to pre-industrial times.
4C will be catastrophic, and probable. Good thing I'll be dead by 2100.

Fuck this orange small handed piece of shit
Rubbing Jared's shoulders, trying to destress her powerful man from all the tension-filled phone calls he's been having with the Russians.
I don't get the impression she takes feminism very seriously.
So far he's been a baby bossman, which has been all talk. He's left America looking like a headless chicken because of how inept he is.
His problems caused by policy have mostly been local and self-contained. This is not one of them, and thus the bubble of the problems of Donald Trump infect the rest of the planet. His sheer awfulness can't even be contained in America's borders on a policy level.

Americans are worse than ISIS. At least ISIS has some religious fundamentalism to back up all their terrorist acts, the US are just pure evil and want to destroy this planet just because.

Can you blame us? 10s of millions are being led by an idiot against their will. And the supporters are too stubborn to admit they made a mistake because they really need their 200 dollar tax cut a year.
At some point, it becomes too much. And this is only four months in. Wait until the consequences start rolling in. This is just the honeymoon.
Isn't it called GOP in US?
He can't do anything about it for several years yet, he can just be a blowhard and not match goals but he can't formally withdrawl just yet.
Meanwhile, US States and Cities will just further dive and invest into green technology for their local and broader economies, and leave behind the bumblefucks that voted for this piece of shit.

You don't. I realize you think you do, but it becomes very obvious when these discussions come up that most of you really don't.

He can take the accelerated course which would get us out in a year which would be the worst decision, but it's Trump so he'll fucking do it.
He could, and he'd likely be met with quick-to-feel sanctions on the economy. But, again, this is all sort of aside the point as the major movements/progress have and will remain to be at the state/city level (just as the obstruction to these changes was at the state level before).

It's okay, Hillary would have done this too because both sides are the same.

If you've got a time machine, sure. But right now, it doesn't matter when our allies joined us, just that they did.
