Economists from the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at the London School of Economics examined the economic case for the US withdrawal, which President Donald Trump signalled in June 2017, and which will take effect on 4 November, the day after this year’s presidential election.

Withdrawing from the Paris agreement does not make economic sense for the US, a group of economists has argued, as the cost of clean energy has fallen since the agreement was signed in 2015, while the risks of climate catastrophe have increased.

They found that climate breakdown would cause growing losses to US infrastructure and property, and impede the rate of economic growth this century, and that an increasing proportion of the carbon emissions causing global heating would come from countries outside the US.

I disagree. I think it will liberate the US economy. It doesn't make sense that handcuffing our corporations to overly restrictive and nonsensical environmental restrictions will help our economy. Especially when the people creating the regulation are so radical left over in the EU. Plus they don't hold China to any standards and they continue to pollute and manufacturing remains there.

“The Paris climate accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs

The LSE economists said that was not the case, and that the US risked severe economic harm if temperatures rose above the 2C threshold, while the costs of meeting the US’s commitments under the accord were falling. The authors of the policy brief found that the commitment could be met fairly easily on current trends, as the rise of renewable energy and switch from coal to cheaper gas were resulting in lower emissions already.

Under the Paris accord, countries agreed to hold global temperature rises to no more than 2C above pre-industrial levels, and put forward voluntary commitments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to achieve that goal.

That gives the US a vested interest in whether the Paris agreement succeeds or fails, regardless of whether the US fulfils its own voluntary obligations under the accord.

Yes absolutely if USA exits from Paris accord then it will very harmful for thier economy as well as for their foreign relations.

This decision is seen as a desperate attempt by the Trump administration to win over the votes of the industrial workers with an eye on the 2020 elections. However, his move has triggered widespread protests even in the US. Moreover, any natural disaster occuring in the US from now on will put the focus on the US President which may get him negative publicity.

the united states needs to be a leader in this area. they need to lead by example otherwise large countries like China and India will have no reason to change there output.

That can be a wise decision for him but don't seems to be good for US economy as it will affect the jobs of some hard working US people and will lay them back. Can be sure if he actually thinking this way.

Trump’s argument for withdrawal was that the Paris accord would impose costs on the US while other countries would benefit. He said: “The Paris climate accord is simply the latest example of Washington entering into an agreement that disadvantages the United States to the exclusive benefit of other countries, leaving American workers and taxpayers to absorb the cost in terms of lost jobs, lower wages, shuttered factories, and vastly diminished economic production

Charles Donovan, co-author of the policy brief, told the Guardian: “What has changed since 2016 [when Trump was elected] is that we have learned more about the costs of climate change and the costs have become greater, while the investment required [to cut emissions] has fallen due to changing technology costs. The case for the Paris agreement is even more compelling as a result: the cost of inaction is higher, the cost of action is lower.”

so confused on rewards for posts. i follow all the suggestions on how to earn rewards. i bet really early on this post and a decent amount, yet no rewards. really hope Relevant team releases a video or another article or blog on more recommendations. love the platform though, and come here few times day to read different posts

It isn’t about the rewards; it is about curating excellent content and avoiding algorithmic bias. The goal is not to get humans following an algorithm (formal or informal). Read a range of content and vote up that which is really valuable and down vote that which is irrelevant. If you come across a piece that is especially good, share it. I see the goal as bringing back an (accurately) informed public. In any event, worry less about the particulars and more about the deep intent, and the rest will work out on average, over time.
