There are reasons to object to the accord that have nothing to do with a so-called "anti-science policy".

The actual wording of the accords has little to do with science and more to do with massive welfare obligations and handicapping the US economy with no requirements from China for decades.

Climate change denial has been a Republican position for decades. Trump is on record saying that the whole idea is a hoax. There might be legitimate reasons to pull out of this agreement, but those are not their reasons.

Massive welfare to the majority of the world for no US benefit is a great reason to pull out.

I think you missed what I said. That may be a great reason, but Trump and friends are pulling out because they don't think climate change is even real.

What does a climate treaty that benefits the US economy in the short term, and is politically feasible, look like?
