Pretty sad when you consider that Trump is harming our economy in everyway imaginable but his base just doesn't have the brain power to get it.

A new study from Stanford finds that failure to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accord will cost the the U.S. economy several trillion dollars in the coming decades — and cost the world economy tens of trillions of dollars.
The study, “Large potential reduction in economic damages under UN mitigation targets,” was published in the journal Nature last week. It is among the first to analyze the economic benefits of keeping global warming to the levels unanimously agreed to by more than 190 nations at the 2015 Paris climate summit.
President Trump has made the U.S. a rogue nation — the only one in the world to abandon the agreement — under the misguided notion that it will hurt our economy. The reverse is true.
