 Al Gore: Trump has failed to knock Paris climate deal off course Former US vice president says the US will meet its climate commitments in spite of Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the global agreement Fiona Harvey Friday 11 August 2017 08.51 EDT The Guardian Donald Trump has failed to knock the Paris climate agreement off course despite his efforts to derail it, according to the former US vice president Al Gore.
“The US will meet its commitments [on emissions] in spite of Donald Trump,” he said in London, where his new film An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power was released on Friday. “Every other country has pledged [to combat climate change]. I think the psychological message is that the train has left the station. The signal sent to investors, businesses, individuals and civil society is extraordinarily powerful.” He said the US president was now isolated and unable to prevent global action on climate change, despite his announcement of the US’s withdrawal from the 2015 Paris agreement.

I still cannot understand why Trump would not acknowledge the fact that we need to support Paris in their fight towards climate change. I did not vote for Trump because I felt as if Hillary was a way better candidate than him. And the longer he stays as the President, the more that I realize that I made the right decision. He is not ready to be President yet. All he cares about is himself and he is ruining the lives of his people. Leave a Reply. |
