His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The coal industry \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-coal-idUSKBN1762YY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Even coal companies had lobbied\u003c/a> the Trump administration to stay in the agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They said they needed a seat at the table during international climate discussions to advocate for coal’s place in the global energy mix. The industry also wants financial support for technology to capture and store carbon emissions, something that could keep coal plants operating longer even as cities, states and other countries work to address climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While President Trump had promised to “cancel” the Paris deal to boost coal, the decision is not likely to create more jobs. The industry is in a long-term decline as it faces competition from cheaper natural gas and — increasingly — wind and solar. Some utilities are also responding to customer demand for renewable power, and the policies of any one administration have little impact on those decisions. “As a utility, we’re trying to plan many years out into the future,” says Ron Roberts of Puget Sound Energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. The climate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main goal of the Paris deal was to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius (or, aspirationally, even 1.5 degrees). Beyond that point, scientists worry that catastrophic impacts of warming become irreversible. The various Paris pledges by each nation were not actually enough to achieve that target. And even with the environmental regulations passed under President Barack Obama, the U.S. was unlikely to meet its original commitment — to reduce carbon emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels. Now, the U.S. may fall further from that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, U.S. carbon emissions will still probably continue to decline, at least for a few years. Market forces are pushing utilities to switch from coal to natural gas or renewable power. “We are on a path to reduce emissions below 2005 levels by about 15 to 17 percent in 2020,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/27/530337304/market-forces-may-impact-emissions-more-than-climate-agreements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says Kate Larsen of the Rhodium Group\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Trump administration is rolling back a host of other climate regulations, and that impact will start to be felt in a few years. Economist Marc Hafstead of Resources for the Future says if economic growth picks up, leaving the Paris deal may mean overall U.S. emissions drop only by 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. U.S. global leadership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, warned against leaving the Paris deal. It puts the U.S. in a very small camp; the only other countries not part of the agreement are Syria, which is in the midst of a civil war, and Nicaragua, which argued that the Paris accord did not go far enough to curb global emissions. Former Secretary of State John Kerry calls Trump’s decision “an irresponsible walking back of American leadership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of putting America first, Kerry tells NPR’s \u003cem>Morning Edition,\u003c/em> Trump is putting the nation last. Kerry accuses Trump of basing his decision on “alternative facts,” calling it “one of the most disastrous, shallow, untruthful decisions a president of the United States has made in my lifetime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The European Union’s top climate change official, Miguel Arias Canete, calls it a “sad day for the global community” but adds that the “world can continue to count on Europe for global leadership in the fight against climate change.” China, too, is poised to take a stronger role on climate diplomacy. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres is counting on that and argues there are economic benefits to this. “The sustainability train has left the station,” he said earlier this week. “Those who embrace green technologies will set the gold standard for economic leadership in the 21st century.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. President Trump’s public support (but maybe not the part that counts)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Americans want the U.S. to stay in the Paris climate accord.

The industry is in a long-term decline as it faces competition from cheaper natural gas and — increasingly — wind and solar. Some utilities are also responding to customer demand for renewable power, and the policies of any one administration have little impact on those decisions. “As a utility, we’re trying to plan many years out into the future,” says Ron Roberts of Puget Sound Energy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. The climate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main goal of the Paris deal was to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius (or, aspirationally, even 1.5 degrees). Beyond that point, scientists worry that catastrophic impacts of warming become irreversible. The various Paris pledges by each nation were not actually enough to achieve that target. And even with the environmental regulations passed under President Barack Obama, the U.S. was unlikely to meet its original commitment — to reduce carbon emissions by 26 to 28 percent below 2005 levels. Now, the U.S. may fall further from that goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, U.S. carbon emissions will still probably continue to decline, at least for a few years. Market forces are pushing utilities to switch from coal to natural gas or renewable power. “We are on a path to reduce emissions below 2005 levels by about 15 to 17 percent in 2020,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/27/530337304/market-forces-may-impact-emissions-more-than-climate-agreements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says Kate Larsen of the Rhodium Group\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Trump administration is rolling back a host of other climate regulations, and that impact will start to be felt in a few years. Economist Marc Hafstead of Resources for the Future says if economic growth picks up, leaving the Paris deal may mean overall U.S. emissions drop only by 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. U.S. global leadership\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, warned against leaving the Paris deal. It puts the U.S. in a very small camp; the only other countries not part of the agreement are Syria, which is in the midst of a civil war, and Nicaragua, which argued that the Paris accord did not go far enough to curb global emissions. Former Secretary of State John Kerry calls Trump’s decision “an irresponsible walking back of American leadership.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of putting America first, Kerry tells NPR’s \u003cem>Morning Edition,\u003c/em> Trump is putting the nation last. Kerry accuses Trump of basing his decision on “alternative facts,” calling it “one of the most disastrous, shallow, untruthful decisions a president of the United States has made in my lifetime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The European Union’s top climate change official, Miguel Arias Canete, calls it a “sad day for the global community” but adds that the “world can continue to count on Europe for global leadership in the fight against climate change.” China, too, is poised to take a stronger role on climate diplomacy. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres is counting on that and argues there are economic benefits to this. “The sustainability train has left the station,” he said earlier this week. “Those who embrace green technologies will set the gold standard for economic leadership in the 21st century.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. President Trump’s public support (but maybe not the part that counts)\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Americans want the U.S. to stay in the Paris climate accord.

The rockets will be released, ignite their engines and carry small satellites weighing up to 1,000 pounds to low Earth orbit. Under a deal announced last year, Stratolaunch will use Pegasus XL winged rockets provided by Orbital ATK of Dulles, Virginia. Stratolaunch says the advantages of its system include being able to use numerous airports and avoid the limitations of fixed launch sites that can be impacted by weather, air traffic and ship traffic on ocean ranges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>History:\u003c/strong> Airborne launches date back decades, most famously to the X-15 program of the 1950s and '60s, when manned rocket planes were carried aloft under the wing of a B-52 bomber and released on hypersonic research flights. In the 1990s, Orbital Sciences Corp. (now Orbital ATK) began releasing rockets from the belly of a converted L-1011 airliner to put small satellites into low Earth orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder, funded development of the Burt Rutan-designed SpaceShipOne, the first privately developed manned spacecraft. Suspended between the twin fuselages of a special jet, SpaceShipOne was carried to high altitude and released. It reached space on three suborbital flights in 2004. The same launch concept is being used for SpaceShipTwo, the passenger-carrying craft being developed for Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic space tourism enterprise. A spinoff, Virgin Orbit, is also developing an air launcher for putting small satellites into space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's next:\u003c/strong> The rollout at Mojave Air & Space Port in the desert northeast of Los Angeles followed removal of scaffolding used during construction and placement of the aircraft on its 28 wheels for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initial testing will focus on filling the six fuel tanks to ensure they are properly sealed and that related mechanisms are operating properly.\u003cbr>\nThe aircraft will then be taken back inside the hangar for weight and balance testing. Ground testing will lead to flight operations and the first launch demonstration, which is expected in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The rockets will be released, ignite their engines and carry small satellites weighing up to 1,000 pounds to low Earth orbit. Under a deal announced last year, Stratolaunch will use Pegasus XL winged rockets provided by Orbital ATK of Dulles, Virginia. Stratolaunch says the advantages of its system include being able to use numerous airports and avoid the limitations of fixed launch sites that can be impacted by weather, air traffic and ship traffic on ocean ranges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>History:\u003c/strong> Airborne launches date back decades, most famously to the X-15 program of the 1950s and '60s, when manned rocket planes were carried aloft under the wing of a B-52 bomber and released on hypersonic research flights. In the 1990s, Orbital Sciences Corp. (now Orbital ATK) began releasing rockets from the belly of a converted L-1011 airliner to put small satellites into low Earth orbit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More recently, Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder, funded development of the Burt Rutan-designed SpaceShipOne, the first privately developed manned spacecraft. Suspended between the twin fuselages of a special jet, SpaceShipOne was carried to high altitude and released. It reached space on three suborbital flights in 2004. The same launch concept is being used for SpaceShipTwo, the passenger-carrying craft being developed for Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic space tourism enterprise. A spinoff, Virgin Orbit, is also developing an air launcher for putting small satellites into space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's next:\u003c/strong> The rollout at Mojave Air & Space Port in the desert northeast of Los Angeles followed removal of scaffolding used during construction and placement of the aircraft on its 28 wheels for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Initial testing will focus on filling the six fuel tanks to ensure they are properly sealed and that related mechanisms are operating properly.\u003cbr>\nThe aircraft will then be taken back inside the hangar for weight and balance testing. Ground testing will lead to flight operations and the first launch demonstration, which is expected in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Gabrielle and I fell into the silence of walking contemplation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along this stretch, I was taken with the wildflowers along the highway. There are golden California poppies, lupine, monkey flowers, wild mustard and radish. As we head south, the ocean sends a fierce wind rolling over the flowers, stretching their stems to the mountains, their buds pointed toward the earth like little ears hoping to find rumors in the dirt. As the day became evening, the flowers again stretched –- this time toward the west, as the wind from the Santa Lucia Mountains pours over the land, pushing them and their petals toward the sea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he novelist Henry Miller spent nearly 20 years in Big Sur and once wrote, \"One feels exposed -- not only to the elements, but to the sight of God.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is truth to that statement, then God knows the elements are testing those who live there in a biblical manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First there was a drought that was good for succulents but turned many creeks in the area into a trickle.

For the people left without a job ... they are being displaced, and I think many, many of them are living with relatives elsewhere. So, Big Sur has been depopulated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those who work in the resorts and restaurants along this stretch of road have been laid off. Because they often live on-site at their workplaces, they have also lost their housing. For the handful who remain, they have to travel 50 miles over the mountains to the Salinas Valley town of King City to file for unemployment and make follow-up appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of these workers don't have cars, meaning those who do file for assistance have to walk and hitchhike to get to their appointments. The manager of a small cafe in Gorda tells me some of her employees went to King City for temporary assistance and never came back. They might have tried to call, she said, but there's been no phone service to Gorda since the Mud Creek slide on May 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another man told us he is sleeping in a spare room at the restaurant where he works. He lives only 3 miles from work, but because his home is on the south side of the Mud Creek slide he now travels more than 100 miles to get to work on the north side -- without a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans officials said the road will be out at least a year.

There were still open campsites during what's usually one of the year's busiest weekends. Apparently, getting to this majestically beautiful spot wasn't worth the extra hours of travel over the challenging Nacimiento-Fergusson Road for many of those who made reservations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Limekiln, we began a 7-mile hike on the road to Mud Creek. The occasional Audi and BMW, having made it over the mountains, sped past with an abandon usually reserved for splashy car commercials.

There are golden California poppies, lupine, monkey flowers, wild mustard and radish. As we head south, the ocean sends a fierce wind rolling over the flowers, stretching their stems to the mountains, their buds pointed toward the earth like little ears hoping to find rumors in the dirt. As the day became evening, the flowers again stretched –- this time toward the west, as the wind from the Santa Lucia Mountains pours over the land, pushing them and their petals toward the sea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">T\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>he novelist Henry Miller spent nearly 20 years in Big Sur and once wrote, \"One feels exposed -- not only to the elements, but to the sight of God.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If there is truth to that statement, then God knows the elements are testing those who live there in a biblical manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First there was a drought that was good for succulents but turned many creeks in the area into a trickle.

For the people left without a job ... they are being displaced, and I think many, many of them are living with relatives elsewhere. So, Big Sur has been depopulated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those who work in the resorts and restaurants along this stretch of road have been laid off. Because they often live on-site at their workplaces, they have also lost their housing. For the handful who remain, they have to travel 50 miles over the mountains to the Salinas Valley town of King City to file for unemployment and make follow-up appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of these workers don't have cars, meaning those who do file for assistance have to walk and hitchhike to get to their appointments. The manager of a small cafe in Gorda tells me some of her employees went to King City for temporary assistance and never came back. They might have tried to call, she said, but there's been no phone service to Gorda since the Mud Creek slide on May 20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another man told us he is sleeping in a spare room at the restaurant where he works. He lives only 3 miles from work, but because his home is on the south side of the Mud Creek slide he now travels more than 100 miles to get to work on the north side -- without a car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caltrans officials said the road will be out at least a year.

"content": "\u003cp>As President Trump announced the U.S. would leave the Paris climate accord, California’s political leaders quickly declared that the state would step up on the international stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s wrong on the science,” said California Governor Jerry Brown in a statement. “Totally wrong. California will resist this misguided and insane course of action. Trump is AWOL but California is on the field, ready for battle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governor Brown \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/06/01/gov-brown-denounces-trumps-insane-move-on-paris-accord/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vowed to continue building his own international climate movement\u003c/a>. Around 170 jurisdictions, including states, provinces and cities around the world have signed onto Brown’s \u003ca href=\"http://under2mou.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Under2 MOU\u003c/a>, which means they’ve agreed to cut emissions by 2050.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governor Brown is heading to China next week to hold climate meetings with many of the signatories. He also announced an alliance today with the governors of Washington and New York, looking to convene states that are committed to upholding the Paris accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What will that agreement accomplish? And what does the U.S. exit from the Paris agreement mean for California’s climate policies? We asked \u003ca href=\"https://law.stanford.edu/directory/michael-wara/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Wara\u003c/a>, Associate Professor of Law at Stanford University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Does Governor Brown’s climate agreement have any teeth?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a voluntary pledge. There’s no climate police that are going to come and knock on the State of California’s door if the state fails to meet its commitment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I think it’s important to recognize that the same thing is true for nation states that are parties to the Paris agreement. The Paris agreement commitments are voluntary and the only thing that’s mandatory about Paris is the reporting obligations of state. They have to say what they actually end up doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”5K7qTsq85ubuAw2BQvPBPIprdYe1xaRq”]So I think the Under2 MOU in a way establishes a very similar system but for states and other provinces that are interested in going further than their national governments will go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also creates kind of a system for sharing ideas and sharing what works. And in many ways you know that’s as important a contribution as the actual commitment. Because California has a long history dating from the 1950s inventing new ways to reduce air pollution. And one of the biggest benefits we can provide as a state is to share that expertise with the rest of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think California’s efforts will calm nerves on the international stage after President’s Trump speech?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, I don’t think California can help fix the problem that President Trump is going to create by withdrawing from the Paris agreement. The U.S. is in the process of doing serious\u003cbr>\ndamage to its credibility as a partner and as an ally. I don’t think that the other nation states are going to act differently in the Paris Agreement context because of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>California’s core climate policies, like renewable energy goals and clean car regulations, are state-level policies, so they won’t be affected by President Trump’s move.

And in many ways you know that’s as important a contribution as the actual commitment. Because California has a long history dating from the 1950s inventing new ways to reduce air pollution. And one of the biggest benefits we can provide as a state is to share that expertise with the rest of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think California’s efforts will calm nerves on the international stage after President’s Trump speech?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unfortunately, I don’t think California can help fix the problem that President Trump is going to create by withdrawing from the Paris agreement.

That’s not going to happen as long as I’m president, I’m sorry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He later added: “Our withdrawal from the agreement represents a reassertion of American workers’ sovereignty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his campaign, Trump vowed to “cancel” U.S. participation in the deal. World leaders and business figures had recently urged him to reconsider, but by Wednesday morning, reports began to surface that Trump had decided to leave the pact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barack Obama had used his authority as president to join the Paris accord without a vote in the Legislature. That means Trump can also remove the U.S. from the accord without a vote. But it will take a while: Under the terms of the agreement, he wouldn’t actually be able to withdraw until November 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaving the underlying treaty — the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) — would be faster, and could be completed within a year. But that treaty was U.S. Senate-ratified. Presidents have unilaterally exited Senate-ratified treaties before, but it’s rare and controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Urged to stay, urged to leave\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wide chorus of voices had called for Trump to recommit to the Paris agreement: \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/05/26/530228094/in-europe-world-leaders-try-to-change-trumps-mind-on-climate-change\">Other world leaders\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://responsiblescientists.org/\">hundreds of scientists,\u003c/a> of course, but also CEOs of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/18/528998592/energy-companies-urge-trump-to-remain-in-paris-climate-agreement\">major energy companies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/17/502425711/hundreds-of-u-s-businesses-urge-trump-to-uphold-paris-climate-deal\">other big U.S. corporations\u003c/a>. Even many of Trump’s own advisers support the deal, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/trump-advisers-paris-climate-accord.html\">The New York Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those supporting a departure won out.\u003ca href=\"https://www.epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2017/5/senators-send-letter-to-president-trump-calling-for-withdrawal\"> More than 20 Republican senators\u003c/a> called for Trump to leave the deal. Influential Trump advisers,\u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/30/trump-climate-paris-deal-237814\"> reportedly\u003c/a> Steve Bannon and EPA Director Scott Pruitt, also urged him to withdraw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, of course, there was the argument advanced by candidate Trump. On the campaign trail, he criticized the agreement that the U.S. formally signed onto last year. He has said the deal is “unfair” to the U.S., objecting in particular to the requirement that wealthy nations help developing countries build renewable energy sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has also signaled, more broadly, that fighting climate change is not a priority for his administration. He’s denied the existence of climate change in the past, and appointed as the head of the EPA a man who \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/09/519425866/epa-chief-scott-pruitt-questions-basic-facts-about-climate-change\">doesn’t accept the overwhelming scientific consensus\u003c/a> that humans are causing global warming by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And he’s already \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/28/519003733/trump-takes-aim-at-a-centerpiece-of-obamas-environmental-legacy\">overturned several Obama-era efforts\u003c/a> to reduce emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A hard-fought diplomatic agreement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Paris accord was reached in 2015 after lengthy negotiations. The deal relies on voluntary cuts in emissions by all the member nations — nearly 200 of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement also, significantly, sets a global target: to keep the rise in the average temperature no higher than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. And it calls for some $100 billion a year in funding from developed countries toward developing countries, to support green energy sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It fell short of what some parties had hoped for. Island nations — which face an existential threat from rising sea waters — had pushed hard for a target of 1.5 degrees Celsius. (Why not even lower? Well, as of 2015, the global average temperature had \u003cem>already \u003c/em>risen by 1 degree Celsius, and even with robust efforts to cut emissions, some further increase is essentially inevitable.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the agreement relies on voluntary cuts in emissions, which is \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/skeptical-note-paris-climate-deal\">seen by some critics\u003c/a> as a major weakness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the fact that the world managed to agree on a target was celebrated as a diplomatic achievement, one multiple world leaders have emphasized as crucial to support. After the recent G-7 meetings, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and vocally supported her commitment to action on climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Modi said failing to act on climate change would be “a morally criminal act.” Merkel had \u003ca href=\"https://www.thelocal.de/20170523/merkel-vows-to-convince-climate-change-doubters\">previously vowed\u003c/a> to “convince the doubters” among world leaders that “protecting the climate matters to all of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doubters are in the minority. Only two countries — Syria and Nicaragua — have completely rejected the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several dozen countries have signed but not fully approved — including Iran, Turkey and, most significantly, Russia, which is a major \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/whats-holding-russia-back-from-ratifying-the-paris-climate-agreement-64842\">emitter\u003c/a> of greenhouse gases. But three-quarters of the countries on earth have fully committed to the accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A pact in name, or in deed?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to note that the Paris accord is only as strong as each nation’s actual reduction in emissions. That means leaving the agreement isn’t the only way to weaken it: Trump \u003cem>could\u003c/em> have kept the U.S. as a signatory, but continued to slash the programs that would actually make it possible to reach the target for emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opposite is also true: U.S. greenhouse gas emissions could continue to go down, at least in the short term, even as Trump withdraws from the accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR’s Christopher Joyce recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/27/530337304/market-forces-may-impact-emissions-more-than-climate-agreements\">reported\u003c/a>, emissions in the U.S. have declined by about 12 percent since 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. has successfully bent its greenhouse gas emissions curve,” Kate Larsen, of the economics research team Rhodium Group, told Christopher. “And we are going to continue to reduce emissions over the next 10 years, likely regardless of Trump policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the Paris accord isn’t synonymous with U.S. emissions cuts, that doesn’t mean Trump’s decision on the accord is meaningless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Economist Marc Hafstead, who’s with Resources for the Future, told Christopher that exiting the deal “could potentially have political ramifications — to the extent that our pulling out of the agreement is going to cause other countries to do less.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also threaten the $100 billion a year pledged to help developing countries achieve emissions cuts, as Bloomberg \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-30/climate-danger-zone-seen-if-trump-pulls-u-s-out-of-paris-deal\">has reported.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-china-climate-20170405-story.html\">many analysts\u003c/a> see a U.S. departure from the deal as \u003ca href=\"http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/03/china-takes-leadership-climate-change-trump-clean-power-plan-paris-agreement/\">paving the way\u003c/a> for China to take the lead on climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just a question of intangible moral leadership, or even of the potential profits from green energy that would be on the table. \u003cem>The Atlantic\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/11/the-problem-with-abandoning-the-paris-agreement/508085/\">reported last year\u003c/a> that a U.S. departure would likely result in less-transparent mechanisms for actually enforcing the Paris accord — because Chinese “faulty and unreliable energy statistics” could play a prominent role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By staying in the deal, the U.S. would have kept a spot at the negotiating table — and potential influence over how the agreement is enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The reaction in the U.S.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama decried Trump’s decision in a statement released Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created,” the former president said. He added:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack. But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/scottdetrow/status/870364248345595904\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even before Trump announced his final decision, Democrats in the U.S. decried withdrawal as “a low point in modern American leadership,” as Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/repgaramendi/posts/10154861375291747\">put it.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenGillibrand/status/869950890584797188\">wrote on\u003c/a> Twitter that it would be “catastrophic for the President to cede our leadership on this issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Republicans in Congress, including several representing districts particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, also rebuked reports of Trump’s decision. “Climate change is a serious issue,” \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/VernBuchanan/status/869576705190526976\">tweeted\u003c/a> Rep. Vern Buchanan of Florida — with a photo of development near a Florida beach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/870369915894546432\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But GOP Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma strongly defended the decision to leave the accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main thing is, it’s something that we couldn’t do; it’d be impossible to do,” he told \u003cem>Here & Now\u003c/em>. “It’s necessary, then, to make sure that we don’t have a bunch of people out there suing us because we’re not doing what the president said we’re supposed to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

Presidents have unilaterally exited Senate-ratified treaties before, but it’s rare and controversial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Urged to stay, urged to leave\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wide chorus of voices had called for Trump to recommit to the Paris agreement: \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/05/26/530228094/in-europe-world-leaders-try-to-change-trumps-mind-on-climate-change\">Other world leaders\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://responsiblescientists.org/\">hundreds of scientists,\u003c/a> of course, but also CEOs of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/18/528998592/energy-companies-urge-trump-to-remain-in-paris-climate-agreement\">major energy companies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/17/502425711/hundreds-of-u-s-businesses-urge-trump-to-uphold-paris-climate-deal\">other big U.S. corporations\u003c/a>. Even many of Trump’s own advisers support the deal, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/18/us/politics/trump-advisers-paris-climate-accord.html\">The New York Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those supporting a departure won out.\u003ca href=\"https://www.epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2017/5/senators-send-letter-to-president-trump-calling-for-withdrawal\"> More than 20 Republican senators\u003c/a> called for Trump to leave the deal. Influential Trump advisers,\u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/30/trump-climate-paris-deal-237814\"> reportedly\u003c/a> Steve Bannon and EPA Director Scott Pruitt, also urged him to withdraw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then, of course, there was the argument advanced by candidate Trump. On the campaign trail, he criticized the agreement that the U.S. formally signed onto last year. He has said the deal is “unfair” to the U.S., objecting in particular to the requirement that wealthy nations help developing countries build renewable energy sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has also signaled, more broadly, that fighting climate change is not a priority for his administration. He’s denied the existence of climate change in the past, and appointed as the head of the EPA a man who \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/09/519425866/epa-chief-scott-pruitt-questions-basic-facts-about-climate-change\">doesn’t accept the overwhelming scientific consensus\u003c/a> that humans are causing global warming by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. And he’s already \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/28/519003733/trump-takes-aim-at-a-centerpiece-of-obamas-environmental-legacy\">overturned several Obama-era efforts\u003c/a> to reduce emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A hard-fought diplomatic agreement\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Paris accord was reached in 2015 after lengthy negotiations. The deal relies on voluntary cuts in emissions by all the member nations — nearly 200 of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement also, significantly, sets a global target: to keep the rise in the average temperature no higher than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. And it calls for some $100 billion a year in funding from developed countries toward developing countries, to support green energy sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It fell short of what some parties had hoped for. Island nations — which face an existential threat from rising sea waters — had pushed hard for a target of 1.5 degrees Celsius. (Why not even lower? Well, as of 2015, the global average temperature had \u003cem>already \u003c/em>risen by 1 degree Celsius, and even with robust efforts to cut emissions, some further increase is essentially inevitable.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the agreement relies on voluntary cuts in emissions, which is \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/skeptical-note-paris-climate-deal\">seen by some critics\u003c/a> as a major weakness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the fact that the world managed to agree on a target was celebrated as a diplomatic achievement, one multiple world leaders have emphasized as crucial to support. After the recent G-7 meetings, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and vocally supported her commitment to action on climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Modi said failing to act on climate change would be “a morally criminal act.” Merkel had \u003ca href=\"https://www.thelocal.de/20170523/merkel-vows-to-convince-climate-change-doubters\">previously vowed\u003c/a> to “convince the doubters” among world leaders that “protecting the climate matters to all of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The doubters are in the minority. Only two countries — Syria and Nicaragua — have completely rejected the deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several dozen countries have signed but not fully approved — including Iran, Turkey and, most significantly, Russia, which is a major \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/whats-holding-russia-back-from-ratifying-the-paris-climate-agreement-64842\">emitter\u003c/a> of greenhouse gases. But three-quarters of the countries on earth have fully committed to the accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A pact in name, or in deed?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s important to note that the Paris accord is only as strong as each nation’s actual reduction in emissions. That means leaving the agreement isn’t the only way to weaken it: Trump \u003cem>could\u003c/em> have kept the U.S. as a signatory, but continued to slash the programs that would actually make it possible to reach the target for emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opposite is also true: U.S. greenhouse gas emissions could continue to go down, at least in the short term, even as Trump withdraws from the accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR’s Christopher Joyce recently \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/27/530337304/market-forces-may-impact-emissions-more-than-climate-agreements\">reported\u003c/a>, emissions in the U.S. have declined by about 12 percent since 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. has successfully bent its greenhouse gas emissions curve,” Kate Larsen, of the economics research team Rhodium Group, told Christopher. “And we are going to continue to reduce emissions over the next 10 years, likely regardless of Trump policy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the Paris accord isn’t synonymous with U.S. emissions cuts, that doesn’t mean Trump’s decision on the accord is meaningless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Economist Marc Hafstead, who’s with Resources for the Future, told Christopher that exiting the deal “could potentially have political ramifications — to the extent that our pulling out of the agreement is going to cause other countries to do less.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would also threaten the $100 billion a year pledged to help developing countries achieve emissions cuts, as Bloomberg \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-30/climate-danger-zone-seen-if-trump-pulls-u-s-out-of-paris-deal\">has reported.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/world/asia/la-fg-china-climate-20170405-story.html\">many analysts\u003c/a> see a U.S. departure from the deal as \u003ca href=\"http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/03/china-takes-leadership-climate-change-trump-clean-power-plan-paris-agreement/\">paving the way\u003c/a> for China to take the lead on climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just a question of intangible moral leadership, or even of the potential profits from green energy that would be on the table. \u003cem>The Atlantic\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/11/the-problem-with-abandoning-the-paris-agreement/508085/\">reported last year\u003c/a> that a U.S. departure would likely result in less-transparent mechanisms for actually enforcing the Paris accord — because Chinese “faulty and unreliable energy statistics” could play a prominent role.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By staying in the deal, the U.S. would have kept a spot at the negotiating table — and potential influence over how the agreement is enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The reaction in the U.S.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama decried Trump’s decision in a statement released Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The nations that remain in the Paris Agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits in jobs and industries created,” the former president said. He added:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe the United States of America should be at the front of the pack. But even in the absence of American leadership; even as this Administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future; I’m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we’ve got.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
