Trump quits the Paris climate accord, will lead the U.S. into the wilderness

[CousinIT]

. . .A host of big companies have urged Trump to reconsider withdrawing. On Wednesday, the shareholders of ExxonMobil, Tillerson's former company, voted by a wide margin for a resolution they say will compel the oil giant to stick to the goal of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. Many analysts also point to how clean energy is fueling job growth: There are already twice as many solar jobs as there are coal jobs in the United States.

Their opponents include White House chief adviser Stephen K. Bannon and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, a climate skeptic who has already set about dismantling Obama-era regulations on the U.S. fossil fuel industry. Trump seems inclined toward the Bannon and Pruitt position, which has some — though not unanimous — support from the Republican Party. (Only in the United States, of course, is the question of climate change subject to partisan debate.)

1. I saw Ivanka wanted him to remain in the Paris Climate accord

All of the talking heads felt so much better knowing she was in an office next to Trump and would be the reasonable, rational advisor he needs.

So far I have seen she has had no impact on him at all. She just needed a new job now that her designer line was losing money - another victim of the disastrous Trump association.
