I'm reading articles about business people (Tesla, GM, etc) that are reaffirming they want to stick with the Paris Accord.

Individual cities (including Pittsburgh) are sticking with it.

What convinced a man who barely understands how to Twitter that this was a bad deal?

The US giving $400m/yr, with the goal of doubling that to $800m/yr by 2020, to other countries... is my best guess.

Personal Opinion:

I have no problem reducing the US' emissions and pollution and such. Regardless of a person's stance on Global Warming, less pollution is always nice. That said, the US can do that without giving billions of dollars to other countries who may or may not even use it as it's actually meant to be, since it is an unbinding agreement.

So I would have pulled out and then followed what the US needed to do emission-wise anyway, but F giving other folks our money.
