And the cheesed*ck stands alone.
From Axios:
In a joint declaration released Saturday, leaders of G20 nations reaffirmed their commitment to fighting climate change by upholding the Paris Agreement — with the exception of the U.S.
The United States reiterates its decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, and affirms its strong commitment to economic growth and energy access and security, utilizing all sources and technologies, while protecting the environment.
— G20 communique
Between the lines: The Trump administration's position on the Paris Agreement is well known, and a similar clause was included in the communique from last year's G20 summit in Hamburg. But a senior White House official told reporters that the Paris climate section was one of the last issues to be settled "because the countries who typically might agree couldn't agree with each other." Countries like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Russia might be starting to second-guess their commitment to a multilateral approach to climate change, the official said.
Oh, great, so now we’re encouraging bad behavior among other nations, too.
We’re like the one asshole condo owner who won’t pay his condo fees because he doesn’t think the pipes need to be snaked.
The Trump administration is nothing less than a planet-killing Death Star. The only difference? Darth Vader was smart.
So this is what it feels like to be a global embarrassment. It sure doesn’t feel good.
