"US Companies". So not the US itself, but companies? "Exercise global leadership?" These words are very empty and extremely vague. I was asking how this will benefit people economically. Realistically, the climate deal cannot reach its carbon targets in time. Here in Canada, Trudeau wants to introduce a carbon tax so as to help with this. Of course it won't work, but it will cost the average joe more money for everything. The 2 degree mark will be passed whether we like it or not. If you want to help, stop using heat, your AC, your car, stop buying all groceries at super markets (shipping produces lots of Carbon), stop using your TV and internet, ect. Also, stop buying beef, because cows produce lots of methane and require lots of crops to be fed. No one will be willing to give up all of this, so yeah, good luck!

Like I said, the US can invest in green energy without a climate deal which forces 1st world nations to give cash to 3rd world nations (and how can we say with confidence that money won't go to the top where it is never actually spent properly).

The agreement generates jobs and economic growth. US companies create the jobs which benefit "US itself" and it's citizens.
It's not detailed because it's a concise open letter and not a lab report.

USA can invest in green energy jobs without the agreement. But it is a missed opportunity, and China is taking every opportunity to strengthen it's position as the global leader that the rest of the world will turn to.
Trump prioritizes slowing down the decline and inevitable demise of a few coal and oil jobs.

How so. Please explain to me what the deal does to give the US such a big advantage, because the deal is more about cooperation, less about competitive advantage. The US is a very large market, so it automatically is very competitive.
