Trump Readies U.S. Retreat From Actions Obama Took on International Climate Issues

摘要

Aside from occasional flickers of hope that his mind isn't made up, President-elect Donald Trump is readying a 2017 rollback of his Democratic predecessor's climate change agenda—up to and including withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate pact.
