Larry Summers: Paris Accord Withdrawal 'Biggest U.S. Foreign Policy Error' Since Iraq War

I don't, this accord was a fraud from the onset. The U.S. had little to gain from it and allot to lose. All they wanted for the U.S. was to help them with the bankroll. We would be giving Billions to a consortium with no control over the use of the funds. When China, India and for that fact some of these European countries can actually prove they have lowered the emissions like the U.S. already has done then they can come back and we can talk.

I think we need to get a handle on the environment, but am not sure this Treaty was fair across the board. I doubt it will be addressed further in US government for now but there is enough awareness that corporations and others in government may take measures locally to keep up the effort. We do have too much regulation at the Federal level. Any solution to a problem needs to consider all the effects i.e. employment, economic and more. From limited reading it seems we committed to firm goals while China and others just said "we'll work on it" without any real firm goals. That's just not the way to lead, regardless of the issue, and not what I consider good stewardship.
