He literally won't. Nothing Obama has done or signed would have such a significant impact on the environment if it were repealed. Yes, EVEN the Paris climate agreement.
The US carbon emissions are 17.5 tons/person. China's is 6 tons and India is 1.5 tons. Both of those countries are going to continue growing. China's gross emissions won't peak until 2080...
If that doesn't scare the shit out of you consider that China is 1/5 of all Carbon emissions (US is 17%). A doubling or tripling of emissions would truly be devastating and that's what their on track to do EVEN with the Paris climate agreement.
So to the NYTimes and WaPo and all the bullshit merchants selling the apocalypse for political gain, fk off. You had time to criticize Obama and push for real change but you played politics instead.
If you are serious about helping the environment, as I am, then you need to start reducing your personal carbon emissions. Drive less, turn the heat down, do whatever you can to help the situation because international cooperation is ALWAYS and has always been bullshit.
