STEVENS: Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement puts Americans in danger
Our house is on fire, and President Donald Trump is adding fuel — literally. As a climate change skeptic and carbon lover, our president’s power and money are deeply invested in the fossil fuel industry. Last month, just a couple of years after the Paris Climate Agreement was approved by the vast majority of nations, Trump formally initiated America’s withdrawal. After one year, it will become official. If Trump succeeds in removing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement, our economy and national safety will progressively weaken.
