According to reports, President Trump is expected to pull the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement. This is a horrible decision for business, the United States, and humanity.
U.S. Business Leaders Want to Stay in the Paris Climate Accord
Why isn’t Trump listening?
May 31, 2017
Summary.
With rumors that President Trump will pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord, it’s worth noting that the business community does not want to leave the agreement. Most companies don’t agree with his notion that climate action is bad for the economy, as evidenced in part by a recent full-page Wall Street Journal ad signed by the CEOs of companies across sectors. Trump, in other words, may be ignoring a clear message coming from our titans of industry. He has claimed for a long time to want to put America first, but by abdicating his responsibility and leadership for the greatest challenge facing humanity, the country may lag. He may, in fact, be putting America last.
