Who did Trump pull out of the Paris Accords for?
When Trump pulled out of the Paris Accords, I assumed he did it to take limits off of American corporations. I guess that’s a logical assumption. After all,
General Motors
Chevron
General Electric
Goldman Sacks
and
Exxon/Mobil
all weighed in, in public, about the Paris accords.
Here’s the problem:
They were all opposed to dropping out of the Accords. They all said this in public at the time that Trump was considering dropping out.
So who did he do it for?
If you were a serious corporatist in public office, would you take a stand like that for the sake of a few coal companies over the opposition of some of the biggest corporations in America, particularly corporations that are in the fossil fuels business? Do coal companies have that kind of pull? If so, where did they get it?
I’m not going to answer this question for the simple reason that I can’t. I might be able to come up with a theory, but any theory I’d come up with would be pretty nonsensical.
However, I doubt that my theory would prove to be as nonsensical as whatever the actual reason turns out to be, if we ever find out.
He utterly didn’t need to do this. If he hadn’t done it, I don’t see that as costing him anything. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t see it.

It was, as is so much else he does, a sop to Nativist base.

Perhaps the ‘meme consensus’ from Global Warming to Climate Change provides less empiricism which obstructs the urgency of ‘shouted out’ warnings…all that fear writ on the subway walls. Sorta that is: the commoditization of labor—when was the first CLANG of the Union Pacific transcontinental railroad—sure there’s been a shift from RED ‘ta BLUE.
