That’s How the BBC Reported it and the Whole World is Mad!
The BBC News was all over the pledge by Trump to “cancel” the Paris Agreement of 2015 (which is that plan to save the planet that the whole world signed onto).
It took over twenty years in the making for the world to come together, and especially after a terror attack in Paris, to finally agree on a plan to address the greatest threat to humanity. Donald Trump said “It was bad for US Business”, according the BBC.
He happens to be dead wrong. More than 175 Businesses have signed the American Businesses Climate Pledge. According to The Financial Times, CEO’s like “Alex Gorsky, chief executive of Johnson & Johnson, said having a large number of companies join the pledge would have a “very significant impact” on pushing for a deal. “We’re excited that it does seem to be picking up momentum,” Mr Gorsky told the FT.
“The more large companies work together … it will create significant momentum around the world.”
That is, if it isn’t President Trump. Bad for Businesses, Mr. Trump? These Companies don’t agree.
