Pulling out of the Paris climate pact may leave U.S. businesses outside the trading regimes worth hundreds of billions of dollars

President Donald Trump’s planned pullout from the Paris climate agreement has some U.S. companies worried that a business opportunity worth hundreds of billions of dollars is going to pass them by.

Trump has defended the Paris exit as a blow for U.S. economic sovereignty, contending that the non-binding pact that the Obama administration negotiated in 2015 would mean “lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production” for the United States. “Would that emissions reduction be recognized in an international scheme?” asked CEO Steve Oldham. “And my frank answer to that is I don’t know.”

Bull shit!!

So sick of the climate crisis preached by folks who use air travel PERIOD, who do these 'entitled to pollute ' think they are to preach climate change ? Good I hope they lose big time, scammers on climate change !

No. More dishonest leftist media complex propaganda attacks against the President

They do that then we can do it right back. They need us more than we need them. By the way, without the stupid Paris Climate Pact, the United States is greener than all the countries that signed it. None of the countries that signed the pact have met the agreed goals.

It also saves the USA hundreds of billions of dollars. Politico, read the 28 pages. As a lawyer, and if a client presented me this document, I would advise that it would be against their interests to sign such, and against legal advice.

And yet China was exempt from the plan at inception by design.

The economy cannot determine the direction of strategic political identification of the shortcomings of previous periods. So, PACT was imperfect, what does the money have to do with it?

Good, says an American

Turning the climate hoax on its head! Weather patterns are influenced by earth’s magnetic field more than anything else. TrumpIsRightAgain :

What a great legacy! 😒

We were never in the Paris Climate Pact — it wasn’t ratified by the US senate. TrumpStrong
