The NY Times story says it all.
This is disgraceful,” said Annie Leonard, Greenpeace USA’s executive director. “By withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement, the Trump administration has turned America from a global climate leader into a global climate deadbeat.
Pussy Grabber acted today to please his idiotic supporters and destroy not only the world’s climate, but also the economy of the United States.
Though I don't agree, let's say "human-caused climate change" is a hoax. Why might someone so hoax? Perhaps for the same reason for all the hoaxes that keep us in a cycle of endless wars: so the 1% can make extraordinary amounts of money! With Europe and China forming a renewable energy development pact and Trump withdrawing us from the Paris Agreement while supporting dinosauric forms of energy, our economy will suffer so badly that the US will take on the look and feel of a 4th rate country. What happened to "America First"? Some say power comes from the barrel of a gun; others that it is heavily based on perception of power. Between his disgraceful foreign trip and this act, there is little reason for anyone to see America as a major power.
