Despite all the fear mongering from the media, universities and democrats, it turns out that the USA accomplished the largest DECREASE in carbon emissions! Most countries actually INCREASED their emissions, including the European countries most well known for browbeating everyone else! This happened despite the Trump admin being in power, and in spite of our withdraw from the terribly deceptive and unhelpful Paris agreement(I posted a thread with a video describing its laughably corrupt details).

Even if true, why is that important? I thought climate change was just a Chinese hoax.
And second of all, if true, why antagonize and alienate so many of our allies, break our agreements, and weaken our word, by breaking the Paris Accord? It seems like all that did was make us lost any credibility with any future international agreements we may want to enter in.
Allies? You mean fair-weathered friends who like us when they're benefitting?
And "our word"? No, it wasn't "our word". It was Obama's word which was only binding as long as he was President, since in this case, as in others, he decided his virtue-signalling legacy was all important and he bypassed the Senate to adopt the agreement with an EO.
Elections have consequences.

Really, no need for a personal snark attack. I'm simply stating FACTS. Your straw man argument leads me to believe you didn't know that Obama did this and yes, of course that means the next administration could change things. I hope you realize how our legislative branch works, as opposed to Executive Orders.So any time anyone signs an agreement with us, they can expect it to be good for only the term of that president? And then they can expect us to cuss them out and rip it up, even if we end up doing everything that was in the agreement anyway?
That seems a little unnecessarily hostile. But oh well. Whatever turns you on man.
You have a valid point. It's like the Iran deal, between Obama and Iran, not the U.S. because the senate never ratified it. It's much like Nixon's agreement with then South Vietnam's president Theiu to come to the aid of South Vietnam if the North ever broke the Paris Peace Pact. It also was never ratified, the deal was good as long as Nixon was president and could enforce it. Paris Climate, Iran, since no ratification by senate also made them just presidential agreements or deals. Much like G.H.W. Bush's agreement with Gorbachev not to expand NATO any further east than Germany if Gorbachev let East and West Germany unite peacefully. That deal or agreement meant nothing after G.H.W. Bush left office. All these deals, agreements was up to future presidents to either abide by them or not. No ratification by the senate, future presidents can do as they please with these types of deals, agreements.
Which is why Hillary was the anointed one, because she would continue Obama's legacy and basically, his Presidency.
AEI reported that in 2017, U.S. carbon emissions decreased by more than 42 million tons. Despite departing from the Paris agreement, the U.S. significantly reduced its carbon footprint this year. This remarkable success can be attributed to substituting natural gas for coal. We’re upholding our end of the contract and we’re not even signees anymore!
