You actually get your news from that website?
The New York Times reported the same thing.
This is a perfect illustration about why Trump was utterly dumb to withdraw - the PR was terrible with no net gain in anything given that the entire exercise is voluntary.

"The New York Times reported the same thing."
Doesn't change the nature of the link he posted.

Actually I just saw this on a Facebook page. You can check USA Today, Reuters, or any number of news outlets to find the same information. Or you can remain so pitifully partisan that you can't see the truth for the...erm...smog.

Well then consider this a heads up, be very skeptical of that site.

Also can we just stop pretending Trump is a friend of climate change concerns, he clearly is not.

I checked other news sites and got basically the same information. Sorry, when you're wrong, you're wrong. The Paris agreement was just a scheme to increase the cost of goods supplied by the US and other Western countries. Now the ploy ii becoming blatantly obvious. Believe what you wish, but facts are tricky little devils.

Where in the world did this come from? How can you be friends with something that doesn't exist?

I am not wrong about that site, I have taken the time to review it several times in the past. One out of ten does not make them a good news source, it makes them a bad one. Also I do not care at all about your assessment of the Paris Agreement.

What has Trump done for climate change?

I mean we all get that this president doesn't give a squat about climate change, right? So basically what is happening is nothing, except for the fact we are moving closer to an uninhabitable planet and the Republicans are doing nothing about it. Great they pulled out of the Paris Agreement, and then did nothing, nothing at all. Do people not realize that if we screw Earth over we have no where else to go?

Ever since I was a little kid it has always been the Republicans and the Right as the major road block to addressing climate change. I understood global warming when I was just a child but it took decades just to convince these people it was real, then more time just to convince them humans contribute to it, and some of them still don't believe it. So they pull us out of the Paris Agreement, saying it will not help with something they were in denial of for decades, as if suddenly now they are the voice of reason on climate change. So good job pulling out of the Paris Agreement then doing nothing.

I'd understand pulling out of the Paris Agreement if there was a back up plan, but there wasn't, nothing at all was done. At least the Paris Agreement was the intent to do something, that is much better than the complete apathy of this administration.
No NY Times does not report the same thing.

That's probably due to people endlessly wailing about Trump. Every outburst adds up. Almost makes you want to scream at the sky... or summin' else equally meaningful.

Keep blowing that hot air, I am sure it helps.
The science has been out for decades and it is far past time to stop playing these silly games and do something about it, that means the Republicans need to take a more proactive approach. Don't like the Paris Agreement, fine do something else, but do something.

America will now be the only country in the world not in the agreement, every other country has signed up.
The extra 2% has been put down to the industrial and population growth in China. Even though china is an enthusiastic member, who are changing to green energy perhaps faster than any other country. Unfortunately their population is huge and continues to grow.
If america continues with its plans to burn more coal it will be the only country intentionally adding to the co2 levels.
How stupid is that.
It still has morons who do not believe that global warming is real, or that man is responsible.
