| Title | Analysis of the US Departure from the Paris Climate Deal, One of the Key Environmental Decisions in Trump's First 500 Days in Office |
| Summary | The US exit from the Paris deal is one of the most important environmental decisions made by President Trump in his first 500 days in office due to the impact that far exceeds the US border. The US leader chose to pull the US out despite the presence of undeniable benefits that coexist with some implementation and funding push factors that, however, could have driven the exit without the influence of some stealth agenda. Whatever the motivation, the exit can lead to environmental and political outcomes, as the US may lose its coastline cities and even forfeit the global influence much to the pleasure of China that will fill the funding void. To avoid these and other adverse consequences, the US requires returning back to participation in the deal via a set of solutions that may help convince the president to reconsider what can be quite a rash environmental decision that may do the country no good favor. |
