I agree with the OP. Also really good point about him doing it strategically. I think he is way more strategic than people give him credit for. I think we should opt out. Scientist have been telling me the world is going to end due to pollution since the early 80s. I think taking care of the environment is good but not at an extreme expense to the economy. Further I don't agree with those that say we are sacrificing economic security today for millions of lost lives later. You have no way of knowing that and it is your opinion and that is it. 

The general scientific consensus has never been that "the world will end." 

 

Scientific predictions have always been some 3/4 degrees celsius increase in a 100 years. Which would put us into a worse position than we are currently (making combat valid), but no exinction of humanity.

The significantly more immediate threat of the degradation of our ozone layer was thankfully stopped by a worldwide ban of cfc.
