"President Trumps decision to withdraw from the Paris Accord makes clear that the United States is not only abdicating its role as a world leader but is staking a claim as one of the great threats to global progress. Last year, the worlds nations came together out of urgent necessity and agreed with near unanimity to work together in combating the most pressing crisis of our time. The Presidents decision to now reverse course betrays our allies, undermines our credibility, and exacerbates a global catastrophe. There are no winners in this decision. Americas influence will now dwindle, the climate will continue to wreak havoc, and despite the myths perpetuated by the President and his anti-science allies our economy will suffer tremendously. Doubling down on denial will not bring back coal jobs, and the bliss of this ignorant misstep will be short-lived once the dire consequences begin to take their toll. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
