Trump’s White House just withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement and World Health Organization. This shameful embrace of science denial puts the entire world at greater risk of climate catastrophe and deadly pandemics.

@luckytran yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. How can he do that???!?
@luckytran "withdrawal from the Paris Agreement" Oof. I completely disagree with that choice.
@luckytran Ecoomy is not more important than the survival of our species.
Good grief this man reminds me of my father, willing to let a bird species go extinct because he loved his profits more than forever extinct.
When the next pandemic comes, we should call it #TrumpFlu
Can anyone translate - Section 4 General Provisions - into layman's terms, please?
I understand the rest of it, but that section is beyond me.
@luckytran
The same day Trump swears to uphold the constitution he issues EOs removing provisions he doesn't like. The courts will nullify his orders and he will wage war against the judiciary in response. Failure is the Trump hallmark. If he can take away someone else's rights, he can take away yours. Maybe losing the right to free speech will wake people up. A little too late.
When trump wrecks the US economy then MAGA might actually realise what a disaster he is.
@luckytran Not surprised, energized!
@luckytran and the US voted for this…. Short term profit…. Long term catastrophe.
@luckytran that's grave. i did not think that withdrawing from the WHO was possible
@luckytran I think there's a three year period before the retreat is final. Last time he was too late and Biden was able to reactivate US membership in the #parisclimateagreement . Now it might become final and the next president might not simply be able to revoke this decision.
Huge blow to any global effort of CO2 emission reduction and a huge blow to any international agreement with the US as a partner.
