Op het moment dat president Trump in de Rozentuin aankondigde dat Amerika het Parijse klimaat-akkoord opzegt, bracht ex-president Obama een verklaring uit om uit te leggen waarom dat fout is: A year and a half ago, the world came together in Paris around the first-ever global agreement to set the world on a low-carbon course and protect the world we leave to our children. It was steady, principled American leadership on the world stage that made that achievement possible. It was bold American ambition that encouraged dozens of other nations to set their sights higher as well. And what made that leadership and ambition possible was America’s private innovation and public investment in growing industries like wind and solar – industries that created some of the fastest new streams of good-paying jobs in recent years, and contributed to the longest streak of job creation in our history.
