U.S. Pulls Out of the Paris Climate Accord

The Paris Agreement is based upon a fundamental misconception of climate history and science. It will have almost no effect on global warming, and by depleting global income it will make it harder for countries to adapt and innovate in response to whatever changes occur.

Because of our private investments in technological innovation, America leads the world in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. We did that without Paris, and we will continue our exemplary leadership without it
