The Global Climate Order Teeters Under Second Assault by Trump | Trump’s second exit from the Paris Agreement is coming at a far shakier time for climate action, with rising populism and corporate retreat adding bigger risk to the US pullback.

  1. The Paris agreement has no enforcement mechanism, Trump’s withdrawal from it is purely performative, there was no obligation to follow it anyway.

    The Paris agreement sounds kinda nice, but it is literally less than the least we could do to prevent or mitigate climate change. It’s an excuse for wealthy nations and individuals to point at and say, “See, we tried!”, while not having done anything.
