Climate change is a real threat to America.

How we handle the optics and the future relationships concerns me, but I think this was the right move.

and to the rest of the world. And China (among other major polluters) can afford to pay for its own clean-up. We cannot carry the note for everybody.Originally Posted by saltydawg

All of the developed countries have to help the poorer countries fore go building coal-fired power plants and to go with solar and wind. Looks to me like China is paying its own way.

The problem Johnny is that American politics has been corrupted by big money special interests. A number of Senators have been bought and paid for.

Comey has been an emotionally agenda filled liar and hated by both sides. Nobody will believe nor trust him now as he is just a bitter played off ex-fed employee. IMHO, nothing will come out of this one especially after the other real shoes drop.
Yep, and that's on both sides of the aisle and across the entire political spectrum. Which is even more reason to keep US out of such bogus "deals" like the Paris Accords. That whole mess has been bought and paid for...just like you say.
That is crazy alt-right fringe talk.
Say what? They are a cespool, both on the ground and in the air.
Folks at MIT don't think so.

Even if every nation fulfilled everything promised — including Obama’s undertakings — it would get us nowhere near achieving the treaty’s much-hyped, unrealistic promise to keep temperature rises under 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The U.N. itself has estimated that even if every country lived up to every single promised carbon cut between 2016 and 2030, emissions would be cut by just one-hundredth of what is needed to keep temperature rises below 2 C.
My analysis, similar to findings by scientists at MIT, shows that even if these promises were extended for 70 more years, then they'd only reduce temperature rises about 0.3 degrees F by 2100.
Where does that say MIT doesn't think climate change is a threat? Seems like what you just quoted says that the Paris Climate accord, alone, won't be enough to offset it.
I read that as saying, yes, it is a real threat, but the Paris Accords do nothing real to fix the problem. And I read it to say that, as some have suggested here, the Paris Accords is more about wealth redistribution than climate change solutions.
Turns out MIT has already responded to Trump's misuse of their study.

"We certainly do not support the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris agreement," said Erwan Monier, a lead researcher at the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, and one of the study's authors.
"If we don't do anything, we might shoot over 5 degrees or more and that would be catastrophic," said John Reilly, the co-director of the program, adding that MIT's scientists had had no contact with the White House and were not offered a chance to explain their work.
I don't know when you guys are going to learn you can't trust a thing Trump says. Seriously, he does this nonsense all the time!
