I lost a little respect for Elon Musk today too
he owns a company that needs to do nothing to meet the deal
His posturing on this is political sassafras

The liberals going crazy on this is almost as funny as Hillary Clunton's blaming everyone and everything for her losing the election, except herself.

Re: Trump pulls out of Paris Climate Deal
I honestly don't think anyone knows if man is really responsible for global warming, there is plenty of science lined up on both sides of the equation. Can society limit things like pollution, have more efficient or even electric cars, and ensure clean drinking water? Yes they can and Flint MI is something we should be talking more about & fixing than a really inconsequential Paris accord.

And Elon Musk decided it was more important to look cool and tough for his liberal friends than it was to stay engaged. He should have said I'm going to stay on the committee and work even harder to convince the president and why this is important. Now he has no seat at the table. I wonder what the shareholders will think when the subsidies dry up because he walked away......

Oil/Natural Gas in outdated. Find a better energy source.
If we spent the money into R&D in solar and electric cars we can make them work. However, Big Oil has a strong lobby and that wont happen.

Re: Trump pulls out of Paris Climate Deal
I think the better question is: Do you believe there hasn't been any adverse effects due to man-made pollution?

It's an opportunity for somebody (F*ck ANYBODY) in a highly visible position
to take the high road
All Elon had to do was say:
I disagree with the president, and now it's my job to help him understand why we blah blah...
Not: I quit and walk away
We need to show kids and adults too
Even if you disagree you still communicate and work to educate and debate your point

Re: Trump pulls out of Paris Climate Deal
As it relates to us pulling out of the treaty, there are pros and cons to it:
- We isolate ourselves by stepping away from the table and we lose control of the talking points. Trump fumbled through this move in typical Trump fashion and managed to piss off a great number of people, but that's what Trump does all the time anyway. Europe loves to take stances and issue statements, and now we've given them more ammo to talk away.
- The "treaty" was always much more about style than substance. Targets were flexible and easy to change, so why leave an accord that never really committed us to anything concrete?
- Constitutionally, this was the right move though. This was a treaty, it committed us, albeit very loosely, to dealings with other countries. Stuff like this needs to be approved by the Senate before the US is really considered agreed to the treaty. I know it's messy, I know it's hard, but it's still our Constitution. This was not a shining moment for Obama but rather a calculated political move to avoid the checks and balances of the government.
- Even the worst case models say that without the US participating, the global temperatures by 2100 will only rise 0.3 deg C more than if the US had been fully on board. I can't get too worked up about that since even without being part of this treaty we're going to still be doing things here in the US that will limit and shrink our emissions - fuel cells are still moving forward, fracking has been incredible in lowering our dependency on crude oil, especially on crude from places that don't have the environmental awareness that we have already factored into our operations here, and other renewables are moving forward regardless of what the federal government is doing. We are seeing capitalism work in this case - we are innovating and we are improving. I don't see that changing regardless of what hand holding government leaders do.

(Until they tell us our feel-good gestures aren't going to really do any good.)
I'm not worried about the talking points. In five years greenies will be complaining that 50% (at least 50%) of countries are all off-track to meet their Paris climate agreement pinky promises and will be proposing yet another grand conference for posturing and empty gestures.
