In June 2017, President Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris climate accord in an effort to boost the nation’s industry and energy independence. Mr. Trump argued that the climate accord was unfair to the U.S. since the agreement imposed easier restrictions on China and India who lead the world in carbon emissions. Opponents of the climate agreement argue that it unfairly penalizes U.S. energy companies and consumers by imposing restrictions on domestic energy production. Proponents of the climate accord argue that exiting it sets back decades of diplomatic efforts by the U.S. government to reduce worldwide carbon emissions.

@95S7WDY2yrs2Y
we should create a new accord that holds everyone to the same standard
Deleted2yrs2Y
I’m uneducated on this issue
@93M48MD2yrs2Y
No, it is predominately political, there is no mechanism to ensure countries will meet their pledge.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, and the government should sanction all countries that remain a party to it.
@932SFRP2yrs2Y
@LiamHal786386402yrs2Y
We shouldn't be involved in any foreign treaty
@926DQTR2yrs2Y
No, because downsizing the Economy and independence of the United States in order to slow and/or stop Climate Change is a worthwhile investment.
@8T9KVZK2yrs2Y
Yes, but only in favor of creating a new, stronger climate agreement
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Yes, until there is equality (but not necessarily equity)
@8ZM79932yrs2Y
No, but work to hold every country to the same standards
@8ZLD38X2yrs2Y
well yes but what we need to do is that they need too test it out by one by a month and then vote
@8ZH9BPG2yrs2Y
No but address our concerns
@8ZGRFS42yrs2Y
no, i think we should try to convince other country especially countries coming into using oils and natural resources
@8ZGJXB82yrs2Y
no because being a bigger country comes with a cost.
@85QWNPG2yrs2Y
No, we should work with our allies to make a more comprehensive measure for keeping countries within the agreement on track to eliminate 50% or more of their polluting co2 by 2030.
@8Z7PTXF2yrs2Y
No, it doesn't even have binding obligations. Withdrawal is purely a symbolic gesture
@8YZTXJB2yrs2Y
No, but we should be finding ways to hold other countries to the same agreement for the sake of the environment’s wellbeing.
@8YWFYZP2yrs2Y
Yes, We are reducing carbon emissions at a faster rate than the vast majority of other countries
@8YT2C432yrs2Y
While I feel like all the countries in the Agreement should be held on the same level, I do not believe that the U.S. should withdraw.
@8T2Z93T2yrs2Y
No, the U.S. should take lead in regards to climate goals
@8YMZ7Y32yrs2Y
I do not completely understand this agreement
@8YKGFHN2yrs2Y
No, but we should be pushing strongly for other countries to be held to similar standards
@8Y4RVFN2yrs2Y
No and encourage allies and our sources of imports to be held to the same standards
Deleted2yrs2Y
indifferent on this issue
@8XVL5XG2yrs2Y
Not every country can be held to the same standard do to population and consumption.
@8XMRCKR2yrs2Y
No, but set much more aggressive greenhouse gas emission targets by passing and properly funding a Green New Deal
@8XHNZVP2yrs2Y
@8XHNZT62yrs2Y
let everyone deal with it on their own
@8X9QB7W2yrs2Y
No, we should be held accountable for our own emissions. Even if China and India produce more it would still overall benefit everyone if we monitor our emissions
@8X72TX82yrs2Y
@8X5WCJF2yrs2Y
No, because carbon emissions will become drastically greater
@8WZQLBD2yrs2Y
No, it seems that the Paris Climate agreement is significant in keeping us accountable for our global warming emissions
@8WTZ8533yrs3Y
Id ont know hwat that is
@8WCTWT23yrs3Y
Yes, as long as everyone is held to the same and fair standards.
@8WKT9DZ3yrs3Y
The US should be more focused on doing what we can do for the environment we are more in control of our own actions than we are in charge of other countries. And if we are withdrawing from things we could unitedly do then we should be making our own little changes for the environment.
@8WK674Y3yrs3Y
yes because its gonna put us in a world wide failure because it costs the economy $6 trillion
@8TKFNNS3yrs3Y
No but they should renamed it and change the rules.
@8WCQB5W3yrs3Y
No, it is a GLOBAL problem not national
