    By the way, Trump is not totally wrong here, and my posting history here contains posts along the same lines in discussions about climate change:

    You want us? Pay us.

    I see people get more upset when their favorite team negotiates against itself than when their country does.

    Have any bigtime businesses leaders come out in support of wrecking the Paris Accord? I've seen Exxon, Conoco, Unilever, the CEOs of Goldman Sachs, Disney, Apple and dozens of outdoors companies come out in favor of staying in it.

    I just love this.

    CEOs are against pulling out of the Paris accord!!

    Since when have Dems and the media looked to CEO reaction as a measure of whether the President's decision was the right one?

    Democrats I assume. Not a viewer of the program.

    Eh, the point is reasonable. These are the corporations that Trump is ostensibly trying to protect. But they themselves say that they don't need protecting. This is like Warren Buffett advocating for higher tax rates. It's not a competitive disadvantage if it applies to everyone.

    So, all of these companies are against Trump's move.

    Is it going to hurt earnings? If so, how'd the market react? Announcement was an hour before the market close. Did it collapse?

    Oh. Look. Markets across the globe closed at record highs.

    It's cold outside today so there is no such thing as climate change.

    I'd be careful about reading too much into those, as each of those leaders has a nest to feather and talk is, as they say, cheap. As for Exxon ...
    ExxonMobil endorses the Paris Climate Agreement • AEI
