I wonder how much money this will cost him (Trump's pulling out of Paris)?

He bent over backwards, taking grief from lots of people for staying as long as he did. I just don't get Trump. You can't just ignore people and expect them to stick with you. Trump is alienating more and more people

Elon Musk isn't some irrelevant hippy tree hugger. He's a very wealthy self-made person (unlike Trump) who apparently is very good at both engineering and business and in multiple different fields too. As a result he is widely admired for his success and his constant harping on wanting to make things better as a result of his work. He is an immigrant to this country who often says how great the US is and how people that are from the US don't appreciate the it enough. He has nine million twitter followers and is so well thought of that his tweets are often in themselves big news in the business pages.

He ought to be the biggest hero Republicans have and yet somehow he is an enemy and now Trump has pushed him away too. This just does not make sense.

France, Italy, Germany defend Paris Accord, say cannot be renegotiated
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-climatechange-eu-idUSKBN18S6GN?il=0


Italy, France and Germany said on Thursday they regretted U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord and dismissed his suggestion that the global pact could be revised.

"We deem the momentum generated in Paris in December 2015 irreversible and we firmly believe that the Paris Agreement cannot be renegotiated since it is a vital instrument for our planet, societies and economies," the leaders of the three countries said in a rare joint statement.

Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron urged their allies to speed up efforts to combat climate change and said they would do more to help developing countries adapt.

The three leaders tried to convince Trump last week at a Group of Seven summit to stay in the pact and honor U.S. commitments undertaken by the previous administration.

In a speech at the White House, Trump said the U.S. would look to renegotiate the agreement and condemned what he called "draconian" financial and economic burdens imposed by the deal.

The unusual French-Italian-German statement, released barely an hour after Trump announced his decision, underscored the disappointment of the eurozone's three largest economies and their resolve to plow ahead without Washington's support.

"We are convinced that the implementation of the Paris Agreement offers substantial economic opportunities for prosperity and growth in our countries and on a global scale," the three leaders said.

"We therefore reaffirm our strongest commitment to swiftly implement the Paris Agreement, including its climate finance goals and we encourage all our partners to speed up their action to combat climate change."

In his speech, Trump complained that the Paris Accord required wealthy nations to help developing countries build renewable energy sources. France, Italy and German indicated they were ready to do more to help in the absence of U.S. funds.

"We will step up efforts to support developing countries, in particular the poorest and most vulnerable, in achieving their mitigation and adaptation goals," the three leaders said.

After listening to Trump's speech, how could ANY of these countries still back it ?

It doesn't make sense.
