A few hours after President Donald Trump announced that he intends to withdraw the United States from the Climate Agreement in Paris, three state rulers announced the formation of the Climate Alliance in the United States, a union that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, even with the leadership of the climate.
“If the president will happen in this very important human endeavor, California and other states will escalate,” said California Governor Jerry Brown.
Currently, the coalition includes California and New York Washington Washington. The rulers of those states, Jerry Brown, Andrew Como, and Jay Ensley, respectively, He issued a statement on Thursday He described how the new coalition will build partnerships at the state level to continue the aggressive American work on climate change and supports the goals and standards of the Paris Agreement.
“The president has already said that climate change is a trick, which is almost the opposite of almost all scientific and world opinion.” “I do not think that fighting reality is a good strategy – not for America, and not for anyone. If the president will be in this very important human endeavor, California and other states will go up.”
The ruler Komo chanted this feeling. He said, “Trump’s reckless decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement has devastating repercussions not only for the United States, but to our planet.” “This administration gives up its leadership and takes the rear seat to other countries in the global battle against climate change.”
California, New York and Washington combined are approximately 70 million people, or about 20 percent of the population of the United States. Their governments have already started taking action. For example, the Senate in California He issued legislation on Wednesday This imposes California to develop 100 percent of electricity from renewable resources by 2045.
