President Trump spoke at length on Thursday about his decision to withdraw (http://mashable.com/2017/06/01/what-just-happened-paris-agreement-explainer/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.*
But much of what he said doesn’t hold water. In fact, it seemed at times that his speech was straight out of a criticism of a 1997 climate agreement the U.S. also joined but then withdrew from: the Kyoto Protocol.*
From the legal aspects of the treaty itself, to the effects on U.S. jobs and eco**mic growth, Trump’s address was, as one former U.N. official put it, “factually sooo incorrect.”*
