The WSJ article Tom posted I had read and thought was thoughtful and true. That, and the main link below and the link in the next paragraph pretty much sum up my thoughts on the Paris climate agreement. They might not align exactly with my considered thoughts on the matter, but they're pretty close. The NYT link in my main post was just the first link I came to when Trump announced his decision.

Here, too, is another link to an article with which I am very much in agreement: https://goo.gl/9RcRf6

(it is from a rightist news site called "Townhall' which has some columnists I like, but some freakin' RABIDLY rightist and/or ignorant people who comment there, so try to avoid the comment sections! LOL )

To those "rest-of-the-worlders" out there: I don't care what the rest of the world is doing. That doesn't make them correct, it just makes them part of a pack. I always notice people who like to preach about what Europe does (and what we should, presumably, be using a model for our own behavior) never like to talk about many of the other issues on which we don't agree, re: free speech, abortion restrictions, etc. We're all taught as children that "but so and so is doing it" is not really a good rationale for taking an action ourselves.
