White House Formally Begins Process Of Leaving Paris Climate Accord

More than two years after President Trump infuriated the European Union (and particularly Germany and France) by declaring his intentions to pull the US out of the Paris Climate Accord, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday officially began the yearlong process, according to a statement released by his office.

Trump made the initial announcement on June 1, 2017. The earliest possible withdrawal date is Nov. 4, 2018.

Greta Thunberg and her Hollywood comrades will undoubtedly have something to say about the decision.
