Climate Change

[Alan V]

With President Fuckface pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Accord, there is precious little hope for any improvement. 

We need to rid ourselves of this ignorant shithead. 

"In accordance with Article 28 of the Paris Agreement, the earliest possible effective withdrawal date by the United States cannot be before November 4, 2020, four years after the Agreement came into effect in the United States and one day after the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The White House later clarified that the U.S. will abide by the four-year exit process. Until the withdrawal takes effect, the United States may be obligated to maintain its commitments under the Agreement, such as the requirement to continue reporting its emissions to the United Nations."

"Following Trump's announcement, the governors of several U.S. states formed the United States Climate Alliance to continue to advance the objectives of the Paris Agreement at the state level despite the federal withdrawal. As of February 22, 2018, 16 states and Puerto Rico have joined the alliance, and similar commitments have also been expressed by other state governors, mayors, and businesses."

From what I understand, the U.S. is likely to meet its commitments to the Paris Accord because of the efforts of states, cities, and businesses.  Of course, we could do even better if Trump wasn't tampering with so many regulations about car emissions and other environmental standards. If climate change is our priority, we still need to get Trump out of office as soon as possible.
