Donald Trump has that rare virtue to put practically almost everyone in agreement, of course, what happens is almost always is the coincidence of opinions is against him. The latest was for its announcement to abandon the Paris agreement on Climate Change, this document signed in 2015 by 147 countries seeks to limit the increase in global average temperature below 2 ° C to prevent the effects of a more extreme climate, such as Rising sea levels and food and water shortages globally.
The United States is one of the most polluting countries in the world so its exit seriously compromises the agreed objectives.
For Trump that agreement a farce led by China to harm the US economy, generating unemployment, low wages and closing factories among others. He also argues that its impact on the reduction of global temperature will be minimal, so already put better than zero.
Political leaders from all walks of life, from Evo Morales to Angela Merkel, have criticized Trump's decision, also in the media, social networks, streets and scientific environments. Among them neither more nor less than the authors of the report on which the American president was based to make this decision.
Putin on the other hand joked that "From now on you can blame Trump even from the sea weather in Moscow" What some took to put Russia with shoehorn in the headlines on this measure of Trump. A measure that is bad for the planet today, worse for 50 years and unpredictable consequences for the next century.
I think that we are particularly interested in this news, on the one hand we could say that Trump could become the enemy of our entire planet because of its very controversial decision to abandon the Paris agreement on climate change, as it would harm us all by. On the other hand, we could say that the problem is not that Trump did not sign the agreement, but rather the "theater" that has been set up around this whole issue since they are clearly prejudicial to US industry, perhaps the President understood this and so he decided not to sign, because at the time of truth nothing will be achieved and the usual will get their share of the redistribution of capital.
And what do you think?

I can't say that I necessarily believe Trump left the agreement for the right reasons. Perhaps it was his desire to "stand apart" from others, to "put America first", or to "Make America great again."
Or maybe it was because someone from France insulted him on Twitter five years ago, and this was his chance for retribution.
Regardless of his reasons, it was the right decision.
Not only is the actual evidence against the idea of climate change being catastrophic, government regulation stifles innovation. If the world believes as strongly as it apparently does (given the near-unanimous signing of the Accords), consumers would have all the power necessary to influence those industries that create the most pollution. Additional Government subsidies funding select companies and giving them an unearned competitive advantage would reduce the economic motivators for companies to find new solutions.
