Paris

Authored by Ryan McMaken via The Mises Institute,

In response to the Trump administration's announcement that it was pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord, some of his critics declared that anyone who likes "science" would have supported the accord. 

Not surprisingly, Neil deGrasse Tyson rushed to declare that Trump supported the withdrawal because his administration "never learned what Science is or how and why it works."

Billionaire, and former New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg would like for you to know that, despite Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate agreement, he's absolutely intent upon imposing the environmental 'tax' contemplated in the agreement on you anyway. As such, he's developing a coalition of U.S. states, cities and business leaders to defy the President's decision and comply with the terms of the original deal.

The day after Trump pulled out of the Paris Climate Accord, stocks are set for new all time highs with S&P futures up 0.2%, boosted by green markets across Europe and Asia, where the Nikkei rose above 20,000 for the first time since 2015. World stocks are set for new record highs, having already gained 11% so far this year, ahead of today's US nonfarm payrolls which are expected to increase by 185,000 jobs after surging 211,000 in April.

Update 1

In a response to President Donald Trump's decision to pull the US out of the Paris climate pact, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday night that the effects of climate change are already evident around the world.

With former president Barack Obama's climate legacy in tatters, moments ago the ex-president issued a scathing statement, slammed the Trump administration for "rejecting the future", and that "in the absence of American leadership", unlike the "steady, principled American leadership " under Obama, the former president urged "states, cities, and businesses" to "step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we've got."
