Trump Expected To Withdraw From Paris Climate Agreement ( 3 PM EDT)
cbs ^ | May 31, 2017

WASHINGTON (CBSNewYork/CBS News/AP) — President Donald Trump is expected to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord, CBS News has confirmed.

Wednesday evening, the president tweeted he “will be announcing my decision on the Paris Accord, Thursday at 3:00 P.M.”

As first reported by Axios, the president made the decision to withdraw from the agreement, according to two sources that have direct knowledge of the decision, CBS News reported.

Details on how the U.S. will be withdrawing are still being worked out by a team including EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, CBS News reported. ...

Trump has long complained that the agreement will cost the U.S. up to six million jobs and promised to pull the U.S. out of the deal during his presidential campaign.

...

What is not yet clear is whether Trump plans to initiate a formal withdrawal from the Paris accord, which under the terms of the agreement could take three years, or exit the underlying U.N. climate change treaty on which the accord was based.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and 21 other Republican sent Trump a letter last week urging him to follow through on his campaign pledge to pull out of the climate accord. Most of the senators who signed are from states that depend on the continued burning of coal, oil and gas.

Here’s the new Trump climate deal:

For every job the US loses, they pay us $30k, and they pay US when the US produces more than 30% of the world’s man-made CO2. Yeah, they pay US instead of we pay them. You think they’d go for it? Hahaha... Leaches never pay up.

I think Trump should release a new word on Twitter every day to keep the Twitter trolls occupied.

” or exit the underlying U.N. climate change treaty on which the accord was based”

No such Treaty was ever approved by the US Senate.

Assuming all of these anonymous sources are correct, I’m eagerly looking forward to one of the biggest worldwide mass head explosions since we elected our dear President just a few short weeks ago!!!

Almost impossible to rework the deal given the number of signatories. There is no way they are going to reopen the deal.

Please let it be so.

Prepare for Global Warming heads to explode.

And then we will hear from the glorious and wise Al Gore - will he broadcast from his huge mansion with the gigantic carbon footprint? Jump on a jet and burn up the sky?

The liberals will be going even more cuckoo Thursday - if that’s possible.

Obviously, Russia made this happen. /Hillary
