Based on the assumption that empirical data is "false news" The Rump has decided that the US needn't be a signatory to the.Paris climate control agreement. We are now in the illustrations company of the forward thinking countries of Syria and Nicaragua.

Totally makes sense, need to protect those 190,000 mining jobs (with 209,000, and increasing, working in solar power).

Being in the illustrious company of Syria and Nicaragua sounds about right.

Trump on Paris accord: 'We're getting out'

"We want fair treatment," Trump said. "We don't want other countries and other leaders to laugh at us anymore." http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/01/polit ... index.html

Oh the irony! :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

In all fairness, Trump said that he wants re-negotiate a far-reaching deal concluded by his predecessor. He considers particular details in this deal to be contrary to the interests of his constituency. It really depends on the text of the treaty. I did not read it. (tldr;)

Trump also declared the US would stall all contributions to the United Nations' Green Climate Fund, which Trump said was "costing the United States a fortune."

I would also not pay anything to a United Nations "fund", why would I? Of all detestable international NGOs, the United Nations are undoubtedly the most detestable one.

Trump pulling out of the Paris accord was really irrelevant to the point I was making :D
