Opposition to President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate pact has reached new heights.
French astronaut Thomas Pesquet registered his objection today (June 6), throwing some shade via Twitter at Trump and the president's "Make America Great Again" tagline. Pesquet just returned to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday (June 2).

His post included a photo of the astronaut's copy of the climate deal floating in front of a window offering a view of Earth against the blackness of space.
