Even one major coal company, Cloud Peak Energy, is asking Trump to stay in the accord. "By remaining in the Paris Agreement, albeit with a much different pledge on emissions, you can help shape a more rational international approach to climate policy," Cloud Peak CEO Colin Marshall wrote Trump in a letter.

Also, more than 280 institutional investors that together manage more than $17 trillion in assets, including Allianz Global Investors, CalPERS, and HSBC Global Asset Management, recently signed a letter emphasizing their strong support for the Paris agreement. "The implementation of effective climate policy mechanisms and the regular monitoring of outcomes is vital for investors to make well-informed investment decisions that can also better support governments in delivering their national commitments and priorities," they wrote.

Wow. what is your point btw? A global cash cow treaty built to keep the rich very rich and based on a total outright lie. These companies are pissed...and stocks just hit record highs. They are not pissed, they are just flapping their gums for good PR to appease the climate sheep who fell for the lie, behind closed doors they are cheering.

It's not about global companies, it's about real working Americans. Companies can find workers in China just as easy as America and it's cheaper at the moment. We need to entice factories back here and this is a start. Reworking nafta will also help. It's gonna take 4 years to right this ship but it's off to a good start.

The partisanship of climate change is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone wanting to stay in the Paris accord knows nothing about except hyperbole they here regurgitated by the liberal media hacks. No one wants to destroy the planet and America has made a lot of progress in the last 14 years and we did it without signing on to some global fuckery. If u think we should have stayed in it then gtfo and move to Paris, or China where they get to increase their footprint for the next 30 fucking years. It's all bullshit. It was designed to fuck America over. These are the facts people.

That one coal company needs to check themselves.

Trump left on the basis of all his WV coal mining supporters...
TENTATIVE DATE: H - Hour

And you'll be back on the 14th and not admit that you were wrong. You'll either act like you didn't say it and you'll pronounce some new doom date or you'll come back as someone else (and probably declare a new doom date.)

That's how it always works. Nobody knows. Nobody will know.

Lol...these companies don't give a fuck about the environment. They are simply virtue signalling via their media department because they are paranoid that their profit margins may dip.

The irony is most of the companies listed are strong polluters of the environment anyway. So it's a bit rich of them...

Here is Peabody Energy's chart. They are the largest coal company in the world.

[link to www.investopedia.com]

Down almost 5% in one day of trading since Trump's announcement. And I thought coal was supposed to benefit?

Re: Leaving Paris Accord is good for business? Here are the companies who disagree with Trump
Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, got on the Twitter machine for the very first time ever to take exception to Trump’s move.

"Today's decision is a setback for the environment and fof the U.S.'s leadership position in the world"

Of course, if he were really serious, he could threaten to take all the former Goldman Sachs executives in the Trump administration and go home. He’d only have to activate the homing microchip in their heads, you know.

Another surprise: Shell Oil said it wants to always have Paris, too:

"Our support for the #ParisAgreement is well known. We will continue to do our part providing more and cleaner energy"

That might seem hypocritical — and yeah, Shell did try to drill in the Arctic, so they’re not exactly Captain Planet — but in 2015, Shell CEO Ben van Beurden acknowledged the reality of climate change and said it only makes sense for the energy industry to prepare for a shift to sources other than petroleum, because screw hugging trees, the money is going to be in clean energy.

So, let’s celebrate, America! I’m marking the occasion - firing up the grill, smoking a pork butt, cranking up the air-conditioning and driving around the neighborhood in a gas-guzzling SUV. And later tonight, I’ll remove an ice tray from my freezer just to watch the ice cubes melt.

OP -- Let me explain what's happening. These companies are afraid of a global backlash against the United States, and thus their profit margins. The ONLY thing they care about is the potential for lost profits. There is nothing more at play there.
You have to remember that many of those places operate on raw materials and labor that are cheapest in foreign nations (probably at the base level, all of them).

All standing to profit from the highway robbery of America.

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

Democrats are a WMD, literally.
