The new #Trump White House on Monday said that President Trump would withdraw the #UnitedStates from the #ParisAgreement, the pact among almost all nations to fight #ClimateChange.
By withdrawing, the US would join #Iran, #Libya & #Yemen as the only 4 countries not party to the agreement, under which nations work together to keep #GlobalWarming below levels that could lead to to #environmental catastrophe.

The move, one of several #energy-related announcements in the hours immediately following his inauguration, is yet another about-face in #UnitedStates participation in global #climate negotiations. During his first term #Trump withdrew from the #ParisAccord, but then President #Biden quickly rejoined in 2020 after winning the White House.
Scientists, activists & Democratic ofcls assailed the move as one that would deepen the #ClimateCrisis & backfire on American #workers.

Coupled with #Trump’s other #energy measures on Monday, withdrawal from the #ParisAccord signals his administration’s determination to double down on #FossilFuel extraction & production, & to move away from #CleanEnergy technologies like #ElectricVehicles & power-generating #wind turbines.
