The Paris Climate Accord and a few milestones

President Trump is withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Accord. Oh Nooooesssss!!!
But, let us look at some things he has done - from The Daily Wire:

BREAKING: Trump Admin Begins Withdrawal From Paris Climate Accord
The Trump administration announced on Monday that it was officially withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, with the withdrawal officially set to be completed one year from now.

“President Trump made the decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement because of the unfair economic burden imposed on American workers, businesses, and taxpayers by U.S. pledges made under the Agreement,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote in a statement. “The United States has reduced all types of emissions, even as we grow our economy and ensure our citizens’ access to affordable energy.”

“Our results speak for themselves: U.S. emissions of criteria air pollutants that impact human health and the environment declined by 74% between 1970 and 2018,” Pompeo added. “U.S. net greenhouse gas emissions dropped 13% from 2005-2017, even as our economy grew over 19 percent.”

Several months after the Trump administration took power in Washington, D.C., the United States was rated as the top nation in the world for reducing CO2 emissions. Forbes reports:

According to the 2017 BP Statistical Review of World Energy, since 2005 annual U.S. carbon dioxide emissions have declined by 758 million metric tons. That is by far the largest decline of any country in the world over that timespan and is nearly as large as the 770 million metric ton decline for the entire European Union.

By comparison, the second largest decline during that period was registered by the United Kingdom, which reported a 170 million metric ton decline. At the same time, China’s carbon dioxide emissions grew by 3 billion metric tons, and India’s grew by 1 billion metric tons.

Carbon Dioxide is plant food so I for one thank our Chinese and Indian friends for their help increasing global crop yields. That being said, the Paris Accords are just a globalist shake-down of first world nations to deliver money to the third-world kleptocrats and their cronies. Any civilized nation should walk away from this deal - it has zero basis in science.
As President Trump tweeted two months ago:

Those are the facts and they are kind of hard to dispute. Cheap and abundent energy lifts people out of poverty and makes their environment cleaner. Proven true time and time again. Has never been proven wrong.
