“This is the wrong decision for America and the planet on many levels.”

This decision is not the first – nor will it likely be the last – from the Trump administration to move the United States backwards in climate action.

Conservative op-eds argued wrongly that China and India are not taking action.

During his campaigning, Trump had assured supporters he would rip up the agreement if elected.

While the world remains hopeful that Trump won’t cancel America’s participation in the climate deal, last week’s gathering proved that the Paris accord won’t fall apart without the U.S.

The E.U., China and other leading economies must share the brunt of the responsibility to tackle climate change.

European nationalists are not excited about the Paris Agreement.

Because of their leadership, the climate might be able to withstand what havoc Trump may wreak.

This comes just over a week after the election of Donald Trump, who has vowed to pull the United states out of the Paris Agreement and has called climate change a Chinese-created hoax.

If we fail, we should not be surprised if, just a few years from now, the planetary thermostat is under the control of a handful of states or military and scientific interests.
