China and Europe will be the world leaders and US will look like a bunch of backwards rubes. Not to mention falling back in R&D for cleaner or alternative energy.

Not a fan of this, but China has the most lax emission standards around.

Clean coal, baby!!!!

Or perhaps they simply have a different opinion than you. Don't be a bigot.

Do you actually believe that crap? You do realize this is a global economy right? "Cost America trillions" what a crock of you know what. Want to see what an isolated nation looks like? Check out North Korea.

How is that "falsely saying"? What do you think is false?

Trump supporters are so incredibly stupid. I was talking about this agreement over Memorial Day weekend with a few of them and it was clear they had no idea what the treaty does, who else is in it, what is required, what the longterm timeline projection is, etc. Yet they just knew they were supposed to be against it. (Even the oil companies are in favor of it!)

This has been true of every conversation I've had with Trumpists. Now, when someone says they voted Trump, I know they're a white guy who went to community college and is pissed off he wasn't smart enough to make it in the real world... so now he blames everyone else.

The U.S. now joins Syria and Nicaragua in not taking part in the global agreement, which includes 195 countries.

Figures Trump would identify with their leaders.

What AN isolated country looks like is not what ALL isolated countries look like. Also, North Korea is not an isolated country. North Korea is heavily affected by the US and China in ways that help and hurt it significantly. For example, North Korea without US/UN imposed sanctions would be doing a lot better.

China IS racing past us with environmental protections. They just showed up late to the game.

We would be happy if you would.

Oxymoron, baby!!!!!

Climate alarmists made their case and won the debate 10 years ago. Now that their doomsday scenario isn't happening, time to move on. Thank you Mr. Trump!

So because every Trump supporter you've talked to has been white, etc, then all Trump supporters must be white, etc?

1) Trump got a significant part of the non-white vote

2) Trump got a significant part of the female vote

3) According to data, Republican voters have been more educated than Democrat voters for decades

4) People in both the Democrat and Republican voter bases have no idea what this treaty does

5) There is nothing wrong or negative about going to community college. Your ignorant misinformed snobbery is showing

Bigly bad

Add one more reason to be proud of a vote for Trump:

1. Kept Hillary out of the White House.

2. Gorsuch on the Supreme Court.

3. Withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords.

Many smaller accomplishments, but those are all YUGE!

I'm not tired of winning yet though, so he better keep working.

Too bad, Juncker wrote:

“The Americans can’t just leave the Climate Protection Agreement"

"Eighty-three countries run into danger of disappearing from the surface of the earth if we don't resolutely start the fight against climate change."

Right sure. Just like Ritz was racing past Bekele when Ritz ran sub 13.
