Trump can pull out of the Paris climate accord – the world has moved on
There was a time when an American president could derail the effort to fight global warming. But not this time, and not this President.
Donald Trump's declaration that the United States is withdrawing from the Paris agreement on climate change will have as much impact as someone in the 1890s declaring their opposition to the internal combustion engine.
More than a century later, that engine is finally starting to give way to electric alternatives, just as carbon-fueled power plants are giving way to cleaner sources.
Mr. Trump can howl, as he did Thursday, that "the Paris agreement handicaps the United States economy in order to win praise from the very foreign capitals and global activists who sought to gain wealth at our country's expense." But the rest of the world has moved on.
Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper honestly believed that pursuing climate-change initiatives, while the Americans did nothing, would cost Canadian jobs. The landscape has changed since then.
Our economy, as well as the global environment, now depend on exploiting renewable sources. Canada still has a future as an exporter of carbon-based energy. But it must also have a non-carbon based future, or there will be no future at all.
That's why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted Thursday that he was "deeply disappointed" by America's withdrawal from Paris, but that Canada would be "unwavering in our commitment to fight climate change and support clean economic growth."
