Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
How the US
coal industry is reacting to the Paris Climate Accord withdrawal
“The decision”
seems to have pleased US coal miners, their bosses and shareholders, at least. All
the major coal producer companies express their appreciation and support for
the President’s announcement to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
Interestingly,
though, other major fossil fuel producers such as Shell and ExxonMobil stand by
the accord, saying that they will continue to provide more and cleaner energy.
Another
divide is seen among political leaders. While the federal administration
decided to step back from the Paris accord, numbers of governors and mayors
across the country have committed to uphold the obligations of the climate agreement.
Many business
leaders of either online or offline retailers, international or domestic corporations,
high-tech or low-tech companies openly opposed the withdrawal but others remain
silent.
Even among
Trump’s voters, opinions as to whether to support the withdrawal are evenly divided,
according to a recent national poll.
Are the staff
of his administration, family members and even the people of Pittsburg all
united?
Enjoy reading
and thinking how divided the United States of America is.
