Based
on an article with the same title posted by BBC on November 09, 2016
President-elect Donald Trump has become the main
threat to the Paris Climate Agreement as he has pledged to cancel the agreement
within 100 days of taking office in his campaign. Instead, he wants to support
coal industry in the US by providing a coal friendly policy. Due to Donald
Trump’s agendas, he has obtained a lot of criticism from both by environmental
groups and nations’ leaders. Delegations in Marrakech even said that the US has
lost its credibility by doing such actions.
Responding to
Trump’s intentions, nations quickly took actions by ratifying the agreement on
November 4, so the US is tied to the agreement since it has signed the
agreement a year ago. It means that Trump has to go through a process taking 4
years to get rid of the agreement. Within that process, people expect that
Trump will change his mind. Still, to face the worst case scenario, other
countries at a formal meeting in Morocco are ready to work on the agreement
without the US.
It is a shame that Donald Trump has devastated the
efforts of previous president and other nations to overcome the climate change
issue in the world. It is not easy to make the agreement come into force, and
President-elect Donald Trump has added more difficulties to the agreement.
Fortunately, there are still a lot of nations which are prepared to move
forward in spite of Donald Trump’s agenda. I hope that the US will not cause
other controversies that affect other nations in the world. If the US wants to
destroy its own nation, let it fall apart by itself.
