Where should the POTUS stand on Paris agreement?

    While the 45th POTUS intends to walk away from the Paris Accord, the 44th is an advocate for international actions to deal with climate change now. As much as the POTUS wants to undo climate agendas set both internationally and domestically, there are evidence suggesting that stepping away from the Paris Agreement may not be the most rational choice. An overwhelming majority of the US registered voters who were surveyed right after the November election last years said that the US should participate in the Paris climate agreement. In other words, the wind of public opinion is blowing the other way. Meanwhile, the escalating constitutional crisis facing the current administration indicates that projecting soft power internationally through cooperation on climate change may be a good way to counteract the domestic tension.
