The only countries who are not part of this agreement are Syria, Nicaragua, and now the U.S.. Nicaragua didn’t sign because the pact didn’t go far enough, which leaves us standing alone with Syria, which makes a weird kind of sense in Trumpland. I am so depressed.
And even NORTH Korea signed on. And China AND India, two HEAVY polluters, have ratcheted back their pollution since Paris was signed.Interventor still hasn’t figured out that “the king’s honest man”is supposed to tell truth TO the king, NOT spread his propaganda.
Hard working Americans from the Heartland are sick of the elites on the coasts telling them what to do. They cry out for someone who understands their struggles and shares their values. So, they voted for a spoiled trust fund baby from New York City with two foreign born wives who lives in a golden tower. The mind boggles.
Stupid fools don’t understand that they have given other nations a weapon to destroy the US economy. When countries start refusing to import US products because the US policies are denounced as supporting the destruction of the environment, and smarter politicos in China and Europe realize the opportunities, look for more unemployment, more debt and the further demise of the US economy.
And oh please, don’t be whining about how the Chinese and Indians will be hypocrites. It won’t matter in the least because, they will be among the ones helping to support the view of the US as a big, dumb, bully getting its comeuppance. That plays very well in a lot of countries and will continue to do so in even more.
We will (rightly for the most part) be portrayed as greedy bastards looking for the short term profit. Just as we have portrayed others. But now Trump has helped make it official policy and the common folks here will pay the price. The rich will manage with off-shore holdings and those reduced taxes, so expect nothing from them.

The world is bigger than America. Republicans are trying to drag the world backward as it kicks and screams, “No!”

The republican repudiation of science so they can pollute and destroy is a cruel hoax foisted upon their ignorant base.
