It's a bad decision internationally because countries have lost faith with USAs word. If USA developes a reputation of not honouring promises why make a deal in the first place.
Apart from countries international businesses like stability.

Why is it so bad he didn't sign it?
Because temperatures will rise more than 1.5 degrees and we'll all be baked to death

It's already been said that the agreement would do very little to affect climate change and in fact, other countries would be allowed to continue to increase avenues of energy that the US would not. Especially China who has surpassed our level of CO2 output, and India which is close behind, would continue to create unlimited new coal mines for years to come, with no restrictions. It was basically a false climate "pact" fund in which to pour billions of dollars only to shovel into the already wealthy's pockets, kind of like the UN. And similar to the UN, every 5 years, the 'fees' would increase and more and more money would be poured into a bottomless pit never to be seen again. Just another shell game. Trump is following through on his promise to keep jobs in America. BTW, even Rand Paul was 100% against the short sighted deal Obama signed through an EO. We can be responsible without paying billions to be responsible.

Never would have thought ATS would side with the elite
OH brother, can you lay it on any thicker?
The elite are the only ones who benefit from this.

So true even if you ignore the impact on the global climate, this sends a message to the world that America no longer stands by its international commitments.

No, he has not. Dont be so ignorant.
To me holocaust denial and climate change denial are just as bad.
It amazes me how you guys not see how this just plays to the global elite.
Man made global warming is a scientific fact.
The only people who benefit from America pulling out of these accords are the global elite, the oil and gas conglomerates.
Obama admin gave the Green Climate fund 500 million three days before he left office.

I would really like a fact check on Trumps speech
Did this agreement really obligate the US to pay billions of dollars to the Green Fund while other countries contribute little ?
