It's not about being a savior. This is what's wrong with discussing Trump with people who have an emotionally charged opinion against him.
The deal required the US to cut emissions - fine.
The deal also required America to fund developing countries infrastructure to change into green energy - issue: America would use ta payer dollars to fund projects around the world all while reducing our economic output at home to meet these requirements.
India and China are two of those developing countries that would receive billions from the US to upgrade their infrastructure; oh and NEITHER have any requirement to cut any emissions even though China is the world’s largest polluting entity and India's rate of increase in Co2 emissions will have it surpass the US by 2020 - WTF?! No!
This deal does nothing for the environment outside of make the US pay for a stimulus around the world while punishing it which would impact low and middle income communities more than anyone else in this country. If you cannot see how God awful this deal is, then not only are you intellectually dishonest but blind as a bat.
He stated he wanted to renegociate the deal. The EU said no. If this was really about the evnironment and not pollitics everyone would be eager to renegociate to ensure everyone is in agreement.

Our costs are $3 billion in foreign aid by 2020. Yep, just $3 billion. We're pulling out of the Paris Agreement over $3 billion. We already spend $50 billion on foreign aid every single year. And no, none of it goes to China.
And the agreement does absolutely nothing to cut our own economic output. In fact, it increases it.
Stop watching Fox News. You are being used and lied to. How does that make you feel that you are being lied to and used?

I did smile at this. You cannot make an argument without assuming something of me. Outside of not being a fan of any network news it's not difficult whatsoever to find the agreement and read it yourself. A deal which doesn't address the largest and fastest growing polluters while having us assist in funding their green upgrades while not even imposing reductions from the those reciving funds. And we're supposed to believe this is anything other than a political agreement because it sure isn't one that puts the environment at the forefront.
Oh and either you're lying to me or yourself regarding the fact that money from the Green Climate fund will not go to China.
