One of the most worrisome aspects of this decision is that when you read Trump's speech and his alleged justifications for withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement it's clear he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. As with so much of what he says, the speech is filled with multiple statements that are blatantly false.  You can't help but worry that if he is this misinformed about something as basic as climate science, then what kind of critical analysis will he use on more complicated problems?

A couple more years of decisions like this and we better all start learning Chinese. If our country refuses to look toward the future, the Chinese have shown that they are very eager to become the world economic leader in low carbon technologies.
