Trump is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement (again), reversing U.S. climate policy
Briefly

President Trump has initiated the process to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, calling it a 'rip-off' that unfairly burdens American industries. This decision comes after the record-breaking hottest year, amidst ongoing wildfires and hurricanes exacerbated by climate change. Trump's stance aligns with previous declarations, emphasizing America's economic interests while criticizing China's pollution record. Environmentalists, however, argue this withdrawal will worsen the consequences of climate change, as international cooperation is essential for effective emissions reductions and addressing global warming impacts like extreme weather events and increased natural disasters.
I'm immediately withdrawing from the unfair, one-sided Paris climate accord rip-off.
The human and economic consequences of climate change will only grow if the U.S. doesn't do its part to limit warming.
