President Trump Says Goodbye to the Paris Climate Deal π
Hey there! Have you heard the big news? On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an important paper that means the United States will stop being part of the Paris Climate Agreement. This agreement is a promise between many countries to work together to protect our planet from getting too hot, called global warming.
President Trump thinks that making energy clean is too expensive and not worth it. He wants to use more oil and gas, which are called fossil fuels. He said, “We have a lot of oil and gas, more than any other country, and we’re going to use it!” He also said, “We will drill, baby, drill,” which means they will look for more oil underground.
This isn’t the first time the U.S. has left the Paris Agreement. Back in 2017, President Trump decided to leave it, and it officially happened in 2020. But then, when President Joe Biden became president, he joined the agreement again in 2021. Now, President Trump wants to leave it once more.
Not only that, but President Trump also wants to stop helping people buy electric cars, which are cars that run on electricity instead of gasoline. He wants to help the regular car companies instead.
All these changes mean that the United States is changing how it deals with energy and the environment. Some people are worried because using more fossil fuels can make climate change worse. Others think it’s good for jobs and the economy.
What do you think about this big decision? It’s important to learn about these things because they affect our future and the planet we live on! ππ
