Climate change: US formally withdraws from Paris agreement

After a three-year delay, the US has become the first nation in the world to formally withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.

President Trump announced the move in June 2017, but UN regulations meant that his decision only takes effect today, the day after the US election.

The US could re-join it in future, should a president choose to do so.

The Paris deal was drafted in 2015 to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change.

8. Biden will reverse that decision next January.

Things are looking good for a Biden win, but the icing on the cake would be Georgia and Pennsylvania also going for Biden. Then, even if Trump goes to the SC, they would have a harder time handing the presidency to the scumbag.

I haven’t given up on the Senate yet, but at best we might get to 50 seats, which works for me. Otherwise, Biden would have to govern by Executive Orders, all of which will be taken to the SC to get them overturned. McConnell will do his usual obstruction act. He seems to be a man who will never give up power and will only leave office in a coffin.
