The Paris Accord is a great opportunity; we got China on board to commit to reducing its emissions, and that had been elusive for a while. The USA also, even under Obama, had been dragging its feet and complaining it might not be a good enough deal for us. America owes the world a lot toward cleaning up the mess that it did the most to create. Trump just wants out of it so that his car, coal and oil company buddies can make more money giving us dirty cars and fuels. Trump's decision is all about the profit of the bosses, and only the bosses. Fewer regulations means more money for the bosses, which Trump has convinced his base of followers will trickle-down to the workers. It never does. Luckily there are plenty of blue state governors and mayors who don't subscribe to the retrograde thinking found only here in Red America, and are willing to observe and promote the agreement. The REAL America will keep it.
I hope this reply is obtuse enough for Galen the Goofy. I wanted to make sure I ignored the role of the market in my remarks
At least my name for HIM has some alliteration....
