Well, thank goodness Mayor Keith has joined in the support of the Paris Climate Accord. I read the list online and there was Palo Alto and there was Redwood City and where was Menlo Park?

The Paris Accord is a waste of time. Good that the US is exiting. We will reduce our carbon footprint without the accord for one simple reason: replacement of coal with natural gas from fracking. This will be complemented with renewables.

"The Paris Accord is a waste of time."

As said by those who only a few years ago also said: "Global warming is a hoax"

As did a certain popular vote loser: "I don't believe in climate change." Trump is a loon.
