Trump Is Pulling US Out of Paris Climate Deal: Sources (axios.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: President Trump has made his decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the decision. Details on how the withdrawal will be executed are being worked out by a small team including EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. They're deciding on whether to initiate a full, formal withdrawal -- which could take 3 years -- or exit the underlying United Nations climate change treaty, which would be faster but more extreme. Pulling out of Paris is the biggest thing Trump could do to unravel Obama's climate legacy. It sends a combative signal to the rest of the world that America doesn't prioritize climate change and threatens to unravel the ambition of the entire deal. News agency Reuters has corroborated the report with its own source. Further reading on Politico (which has also corroborated the news) and BBC. Update: Trump Announces US Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord.

Apparently you're either an ignoramus or a liar. Scientists aren't saying it's going to kill us... well, it's probably going to kill a lot of people, but not likely many in the West. But it is going to make our lives a lot more difficult and a lot more expensive, and actually, if you pay any attention to insurance actuaries, it already is.

But I get it, you're a baby, a little infantile child who hasn't the maturity or the wits to assess a situation based on what's actually happening, preferring the nice cooing sounds of a profoundly stupid and disturbed man. You are truly among the most contemptible people of our age, and I hope you suffer for it.
