Barack Obama worked furiously to get the accord passed, approved, and to the current stage. Even industrial leaders in the United States have informed Donald Trump that the agreement doesn’t represent a burden, but provides much-needed targets and a sense of certainty about future requirements. European leaders made a desperate effort to persuade Trump of the unprecedented unity and literally life-saving scope represented by the agreement.
President Donald Trump is expected to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, CBS News White House Correspondent Major Garrett confirms.
Trump has also talked about “re-negotiating” the agreement, a work that was the result of more than a decade of global meetings, proposals and adjustments. A work which has been signed by 195 UN members and ratified by 147 national governments.
Details on just how exactly the U.S. will be withdrawing are still being worked out by a team that includes EPA administrator Scott Pruitt.
Which is as far from comforting as possible. Pruitt has shown a unique ability to not just be leery of climate change regulation, but to be overtly hostile. working as if he job were to degrade the environment with all possible speed. But then, ditching the accord seems to indicate that Trump is planning to take a position that’s even more aaggressively destructive.
It could be a sign that he plans to ditch environmental regulations and attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a much greater degree than he has so far.
