There’s already been much wailing and lamentation over President Trump’s intention to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement. Billionaire Democratic donor Tom Steyer went so far as to call it a “traitorous act of war,” presumably because it hits him in his tender parts — which is to say, his wallet.

But despite such apocalyptic bloviating from Steyer and other Democrats, true environmental activists can rest assured that American withdrawal from the Paris agreement will do little to change global emissions. As one environmental activist and former NASA scientist said, it is “just worthless words. There is no action, just promises… It’s a fraud really, a fake.”
