Repubs claim the Paris Climate agreement "hurts America and American business"

However I have yet to see their details or evidence backing up their claim.

Where is the press with follow up questions for details on how they arrived at this conclusion?

That's a lot of jobs. The only jobs that the GOP is referring to are coal jobs, most of which were gone long before this deal. And even in a setting without any regulation, coal jobs are never coming back; the market (which Republicans claim to care so deeply about) has long since moved on.
