From
the ABC:
Both major parties in Australia say they remain committed to the Paris climate agreement despite Donald Trump's announcement the US will withdraw from the deal.
The Coalition and Labor have labelled the US President's decision disappointing, while the Greens have gone much further, with MP Adam Bandt using Twitter to call Mr Trump a "climate criminal".
"Trump has just threatened our security and our way of life. Time to dump Trump," Mr Bandt wrote.
On a personal level, I'm pretty disappointed with this decision. For those who aren't aware, POTUS Donald Trump has just withdrawn America's involvement in the
Paris Agreement. Prior to this, just two nations (Syria and Nicaragua) had not been on board. Basically, it's a global climate agreement centred on avoiding the forecasted negative effects of climate change.
What are your thoughts on this? For what it's worth, the US is the
second highest emitter of carbon dioxide.
