"US President Donald Trump is poised to pull the country out of the Paris climate accord, US media report, quoting senior officials.

The American leader refused to reaffirm his country's commitment to the accord at a G7 summit in Italy on Saturday.

He said he would make up his mind after returning to the US.

Mr Trump, who has called climate change a "hoax" on occasion, has reportedly indicated this is still his position to key members of his inner circle."

Unfortunately, none of this is surprising. I figured he would but it only completely cements my hatred for this man. His conspiracy theory policy on the enviromentment is why I'm anti-Trump to begin with and this just... I can salvage no respect for people who voted for this disaster of a human being

PS: So much for making America "great again". We're so fucking great we're the only country besides Syria and Nicaragua to not be in the deal. That also means that Russia, China, and even fucking North Korea are part of the deal. North Goddamn Korea. You gotta realize something is wrong when North Korea is part of a worldwide agreement and you're not.

Hmm, it seems like this is mainly him re-inforcing a campaign promise. I don't think he actually signed an executive order, or had the House of Representatives draft a bill yet.

I'm going to tag this but not actually say anything, as I have not yet read the full text of the Paris accord.

Then again, that doesn't stop everyone else from commenting on it :P

As long as science is denied and treated like a belief, we will stay idiots and will be ruled by idiots

Oh well this was pretty much expected, perhaps Europe and China should work closer together to decrease the global CO2 emissions.

Just today he complained about someone because of how his 11 years old son has to suffer because of that person. I would say his son will suffer much more from persons like him in some decades.

But it is like it is, pretty much everything he does is only about pushing the economy for the next years, everything after that is something he doesn't care about and there will be enough people who will also only look at the short term effect of his doings and praise him for it. 

Poised to do it as in he hasn't done anything yet? So...what is the big deal?

Climate is a hoax created by the Chinese to smuggle Mexican immigrants into the US. The tide goes up, the Mexicans come in. You can't explain that.

Indeed. He campaigned on pulling out of the Paris climate deal. I understand not liking it, but he campaigned on doing this.
