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.

Deleted3yrs3Y
I’m uneducated on this issue
@8R2V4494yrs4Y
No; and US should focus on reducing carbon emissions
@8YMZ7Y33yrs3Y
I do not completely understand this agreement
@gabehwkns4yrs4Y
No, but a more meaningful agreement with aggressive standards and enforcement should be created
@8MF33G54yrs4Y
Not until we have plenty of clean energy sources that can power everything.
@8CRB28C4yrs4Y
Deleted3yrs3Y
indifferent on this issue
@8LND5LX4yrs4Y

@8LH5G754yrs4Y
N/A(not enough knowledge of topic)
@8YT2C433yrs3Y
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.
@8YWFYZP3yrs3Y
Yes, We are reducing carbon emissions at a faster rate than the vast majority of other countries
@8ZGJXB83yrs3Y
no because being a bigger country comes with a cost.
@52P5M5S4yrs4Y
No, but work towards holding other countries accountable, primarily china and india, withdrawing will only allow china to gain more influence over our allies
@8Q736JS4yrs4Y
No, unless it is proven to be ineffective
@8QBXF924yrs4Y
No, but renegotiate the agreement to avoid it's effects from hurting American workers while holding other countries to the same standards
@8GFV2CC4yrs4Y
I dont have much knowledge on this subject.
@4PV8YZ34yrs4Y
It does not really matter as the PCA is functionally useless.
@5643HNN4yrs4Y
Yes, but we need actual legislation
@2CZSH3L4yrs4Y
No, but we need a stronger international agreement to curb climate change with penalties for parties who don't meet the standards and trade penalties for nations that refuse to join or leave the pact.
@895C6VC4yrs4Y
Yes. We should withdraw and be an energy exporter. People can partner with us and pay us. This industry must grow!
@8QMQCVN4yrs4Y
Yes, it is non-binding, and does little more than harbor money laundering
@88PQ9NW4yrs4Y
No, but demand that other countries be held to equal standards according to their needs
@8PBSW364yrs4Y
@95S7WDY2yrs2Y
we should create a new accord that holds everyone to the same standard
@8M5LQX24yrs4Y
Depends on the consiquence
@8GSSFLN4yrs4Y
I think they should stay with the Paris Climate Agreement, but at the same time, keep themselves and the people in check so we can try and solve climate change together.
@8WCTWT23yrs3Y
Yes, as long as everyone is held to the same and fair standards.
@8M5YNXS4yrs4Y
I'm ignorant on the subject.
@8Q8RMZF4yrs4Y
No, we should withdraw because if we do not do something and take a stand then our earth could fail sooner or later due to climate change... Trump should take a hint the other day it was like 75 degrees in the middle of winter!!!
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Yes, until there is equality (but not necessarily equity)
@7W3SBDC4yrs4Y
No. We should seek to improve it as a whole with cooperation from the other countries in it.
@7GJCNV84yrs4Y
Yes, but replace it with an even stronger international agreement and climate provisions in trade deals
@85QWNPG3yrs3Y
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.
@86N5Z354yrs4Y
No, but we need all countries to be held accountable.
@86N5Z354yrs4Y
No, but we need other countries to be held accountable.
@8CQ4NFX4yrs4Y
Yes the U.S. should withdraw form the Paris Climate Agreement until it has started over and became more fair.
@8DN3MHJ4yrs4Y
No, but the PCA should be reworked to hold all countries to the same standards
@8DN4WYN4yrs4Y
We never followed the Constitution to get into it and didn't follow the Constitution to withdraw. Someone followed the law? Maybe we ought to do that before we ask this question.
@8DR2W8T4yrs4Y
Yes but I think the U.S should work hard to reduce it's carbon footprint as much as possible
@8FC8HVR4yrs4Y
@8FG68X34yrs4Y
Don't have enough info to make a choice
@8FC78TK4yrs4Y
No, we should never put our manufacturing industry before the climate NEVER
@8GMR5G74yrs4Y
No, so that more countries (by this I mean the U.S.) are able to help protect the natural environment.
@8GLCRKQ4yrs4Y
I don't even know what this Paris Agreement is.
@8HJ6ZY74yrs4Y
No but use re-entry as leverage to renegotiate so that other countries also pay their fair share
@8HCX7LL4yrs4Y
I dont even know what that means.
@8HK774D4yrs4Y
No, but we should push for all countries to be held to a high standard.
@8HJ4B4M4yrs4Y
I need to learn more about the agreement to have a opinion.
@8HQTH284yrs4Y
No, we should be doing everything we can to reduce carbon emissions.
@8HJXS4T4yrs4Y
not enough info to decide
@8HVQ8RT4yrs4Y
The US does not need to follow the Paris Climate Agreement, but should hold itslef accountable towards creating a net zero future.
@8J4798Y4yrs4Y
We already did leave the climate agreement
@8J958XC4yrs4Y
Don’t know enough about it to have a opinion
@8JN5ZTL4yrs4Y
Don´t know enough to answer.
@8KCPC7C4yrs4Y
No, but penalize other countries who are not upholding the standards.
@8KF7JZG4yrs4Y
It's not going anywhere,.
@8L7S8HZ4yrs4Y
I think we should get other people on board aka china, Russia, etc.
@8LMSRC64yrs4Y
No, but other countries shall have the same standards
@8M657DV4yrs4Y
I believe the agreement should be put on hold until nuclear energy is a viable option nationwide in the United States.
@8MDYH384yrs4Y
Unaware of what this may mean.
@8MR6SHM4yrs4Y
Was not informed on this.
@8MR6ZZG4yrs4Y
I think we should create our own standards
@8MZ79MJ4yrs4Y
There Should Should Be Different Perspective and Resolutions

I don't really know what this is talking about.
@8NCCM3F4yrs4Y
No, temporarily, until a better solution is put in place
@8NSG2FG4yrs4Y
N/A, do not know enough on this to question.
@8NRQS6Z4yrs4Y
Every country must take a stand to save the environment.
@8PBTNXK4yrs4Y
The Paris Climate Accord will not do enough to help end climate change but that does not mean we should ;leave it we should just reform it into what we need in order for the world to survive.
@8PLYW6S4yrs4Y
I do not understand what this means?
@8Q2BXYC4yrs4Y
I don't have enough knowledge on this to answer
@8QKJ7R94yrs4Y
Yes, we should find ways to decrease climate change that work for us monetarily, rather than against us. The Paris Climate agreement costs $4.4 trillion. That's too much. We need to spend less and get out of debt as much as we can.
@8QN8L654yrs4Y
Yes, and withdraw from any international agreement
@8QXGYWK4yrs4Y
no, as the world gets older more states become more and more poluted
@8QWC9GD4yrs4Y
No, but threaten to leave if changes are not made to the other country's restrictions
@8QZKH7B4yrs4Y
DonaLd TruMp Had already withdrew the deal
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Regardless, we should protect the planet
@8RJ9QC24yrs4Y
If we’ve been living that was without problems why change
@8RMPN5H4yrs4Y
its up to our leader and chief
@8RS5BVG4yrs4Y
No, we need to be very active participants, continue to implement eco-friendly policies and especially provide more incentives for renewable energy. Big energy companies have no incentive now because non-renewables like coal and natural gas are so damn inexpensive.
@8SJJQNB4yrs4Y
I only care about the US
@8T2Z93T3yrs3Y
No, the U.S. should take lead in regards to climate goals
@8T9KVZK3yrs3Y
Yes, but only in favor of creating a new, stronger climate agreement
@8TKFNNS3yrs3Y
No but they should renamed it and change the rules.
@8TH2QWQ4yrs4Y
No, and more funding should be put into ending climate change.
@8TWB9FX4yrs4Y
No, but all countries in the agreement need to be held to the same standard.
@8V29GDP4yrs4Y
No we should not. The stupid US government is destroying our world for a quick buck we should be doing not just the bare minimum laid out in the Paris Agreement but also so so much more
@8VMNXQF3yrs3Y
No, but try to compromise or shift other countries to a consistent standard.
@8VWCTBJ3yrs3Y
I know nothing about this, I can't answer this without knowing more about it.
@8WCQB5W3yrs3Y
No, it is a GLOBAL problem not national
@8WCQCL83yrs3Y
@8WBMHFW3yrs3Y
