Defying Trump, governors who represent over half the U.S. population pledge to uphold Paris climate agreement

Countries that have signed and ratified the Paris climate agreement.Now, the Trump administration has submitted to the United Nations a formal notification of its withdrawal from the Paris agreement, which the president announced his intention to do back in June 2017, around six months after he took office.

"The Paris Agreement is the framework for global cooperation to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change. Of the roughly 187 countries that have joined the Agreement, the United States is alone in initiating a formal withdrawal."The alliance said it collectively represents more than half of the U.S. population and an $11.

Governors who form the U.S. Climate Alliance are from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Puerto Rico, which is an American territory but not a state, is also listed as a member of the alliance though the governor who signed up, Ricardo Rosselló of the New Progressive Party, resigned from his position in August.

Our idiot trump

China & India have a combined population of ~2.7 billion people, yet the US- who’s population is ~300 million- produces more carbon emissions per capita than both of those countries, so they’re still doing better than we are at the moment.

INDIA IS A MEMBER OF THE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD...WE KNOW THE RESULTS THERE... ALONG WITH CHINA WHICH NOW HAS A POLLUTED WATER PROBLEM & PEOPLE WEAR MASKS EVERYWHERE.. SO MUCH FOR THAT...

😅😅😅

CiCi77 Wow!! Amazing!!

TrueFactsStated That's great news.... And our next President will follow suit. VoteBlue2020

TrueFactsStated Suck it Cheeto!

The US is making huge progress on it's own. Why allow us the get trapped into an agreement that penalized the US and does little to countries that are doing very little?

TrueFactsStated They know the danger of not helping our planet with climate change.

So they are going to write checks to the likes of China and India?

He's a bully. Period (wow - those few words sound better than the speeches Trump has given since inaugurated!)

_Ben_Franklin1 Goodness I feel like I am going to fall in one of his pores...GET ME OUTTA HERE!!!

Well the governors will be neutered like the senators.. just hasn’t happened yet

TrueFactsStated Great read.

They’re idiots. California burning alive but Paris.

Awesome. Good for them. At least someone is putting out health and well being over profits.

Good to know

are these the same states that can't meet their budget's without federal aid? Well when you rely on handouts it kinda takes away your voice.
