    You should be embarrassed to openly admit that you are one of this folks that does not know the difference between weather and climate.

    Keeping emissions under a limit, and helping poor countries that will be most affected by the requirements. And to coordinate and cooperate in averting the dangers and mitigation..

    Not complicated. But either we, or somebody else, will take the leadership role. Withdrawing from it means it won't be us.

    These dopes repeating senseless Fox News talking points are no help either. It does much more than that, despite what you keep hearing on right-wingnut radio

    Mindlessly repeating right-wing ignorance you heard on the radio does not help. Paris accord is a great step forward. Won't solve the problem on it's own, but it does many things. Including guaranteeing that most third world countries (which is the majority of the world) will be engaged in the solutions. As well as many developed nations that were too stupid to understand the danger. If we leave the agreement, we become one of those.

    The right has no idea how difficult it was for the Obama administration to get the whole world, even the stupid countries, to sign the accord. If we leave it we become just one of the stupid countries. It will take years after winning 2020 to overcome that image. And regaining the leadership status... probably never.

    No, this type of leadership will reduce the centralization of power initiating decisions made upon calculable benefit.

    This type of agreement is available anytime stooges are willing to hand over power to govern themselves. It will only require another stooge being elected.

    Listen to yourself.

    What kind of idiot does one have to be in order to announce that they don't know anything about the accord, but they're against it anyway (while admitting that they don't know what they're talking about)!

    Trumpsters! Making America Irrelevant!

    You are aware that these statistics come from a global warming denial front organization.

    Well, many in his cabinet have recommended that, so no, I wouldn't be surprised. What would be interesting will be to see how the folks at CNN report such a decision. Remember, it is imperative that Trump not be painted in a positive light...

    Obama's legacies are very easy to undo, as they consist of a dismally failing healthcare law and a whole slew of screwy executive orders. Too bad President Trump can't erase Obama's pardon rampage finale. But that's ok, most of the damage done by the previous administration will be addressed, after which we can get on with actually legislating and having the system work the way it was designed to work. Go ahead, call President Trump your grade school names and throw little hissy fits, he'll just keep on makin' America great again... :D

    I would say that too Tom if I couldn't face the reality.

    Go ahead, post from one of your Climitist sites. Show us the best temperature change they project we can achieve in the Paris accords by 2100.

    Let's see you back up your rhetoric.

    So, you really are telling us that you have no idea what you're talking about and you're proud of it!

    I have noticed this in Trumpsters. There are some among you that take great pride in being a defiantly ignorant!

    I made a simple statement of fact, which you can't deny. (which is why you tried to move the ball).

    You have no idea what assumptions underpin these assumptions. But you don't seem to be bothered by the fact that they are offered by an organization with a specific political agenda.

    Then prove it. I'm still waiting for your evidence on the Paris accords and temperature impact.

    I accept your defeat. Next time be ready to defend your claims with facts not opinions.

    The climate deal was just another crooked scam to enrich the international criminal political class.
