Donald Trump continues to think about whether to withdraw from the Paris Agreement or not

Donald Trump

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, he was elected in the recent elections. As we have already discussed in previous posts, this man does not believe in climate change, since he thinks it is an "invention of the Chinese to increase competitiveness". He already warned in his candidacy that if elected president of the United States he would withdraw all funds available for climate change issues.

The Paris Agreement, which entered into force on November 4 of this year, attempts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally and replaces the previous Kyoto Protocol. However, Donald Trump is still wondering whether to withdraw from the Paris Agreement against climate change. The main reason for choosing to withdraw is because you think that staying in the Paris Agreement would be "Abide by the rules that pose a risk of loss of economic competitiveness to developed countries like China."

In an interview on the television network Fox News He stated that he is still considering the idea of ​​being able to get out of the Paris Agreement since it represents a competitive disadvantage compared to other countries. However, even if Donald Trump definitely wanted to get out of the Paris Agreement, it would not be so easy for him. Because this Agreement encompasses the decision to reduce greenhouse gases from More than 100 countries, since it is ratified, it contains a clause that would force you to wait about four years from the moment I decided to leave it.

Despite all the scientists and studies that have shown the effects of climate change and that are being accentuated due to the increase in average temperatures of the planet, he continues to insist that "nobody really knows what happens with climate change." But we must say that he has stated that he has "open minded" in order to continue in this Agreement.
