The Paris agreement, the most ambitious climate pact yet negotiated by the U.N., enters into force on Friday.
Despite Trump’s threats to walk away from the agreement as president, one of the officials said that although the accord allows for countries to withdraw, he did not think that would be a likely development.
“There’s an article 28 in the agreement that provides for procedures for countries that would seek to withdraw,” deputy special envoy for climate change Jonathan Pershing said in a teleconference call.
According to article 28 of the Paris according, even if a President Trump wanted to withdraw from the accord, he would not be able to set the process in motion for three years from the date of entry into force – that is, November 4, 2019 – and even then withdrawal would only take effect 12 months later.
Here's the thing. Should Trump "unsign" the agreement, which was forced down American throats by Obama's Executive Order, would not Article 28 be unsigned as well?
It would be just like hacking off a skin tag. Gone.
