Hard to say how big an impact this will have, either way. Legolas Send a noteboard - 01/06/2017 11:45:38 PM

Those American states and cities which do take global warming seriously aren't going to stop doing so, and it's too early to say whether a decision like this will prove to be permanent, or merely temporary until someone else is in the White House. Or, you know, until Trump changes his shirt and his opinion tomorrow.

And internationally as well, I'm not sure it matters that much - Trump's America is a laughing stock already, which may not make much difference when it comes to its hard military and financial power, but certainly makes a difference in soft power terms. The US tuning out won't necessarily make other countries follow.

You can say 'no it doesn't', but it would help if you then provided arguments. - 05/06/2017 10:43:36 AM 623 Views
I provided evidence. You didn't. Surely you can see the hypocrisy in your answer. *NM* - 08/06/2017 05:28:37 AM 342 Views
Sure, we both provided evidence, but not of the serious comparison with numbers variety. - 08/06/2017 06:41:52 PM 675 Views
