TAORMINA, Sicily — The U.S. will be the lone holdout on endorsing the Paris accord on climate change when leaders of the G7 will issue their 2017 declaration Saturday, officials said.

President Donald Trump had said he would give European leaders a chance to make their case for the climate change accord, but would not make a final decision until returning to Washington on whether his administration will remain committed to the 2015 agreement.

Trump tweeted Saturday morning: “I will make my final decision on the Paris Accord next week!”

So will he cave or will he hold the line?

The claim that CO2 is pollution and destroying the planet is lowering nearly everyone's standard of living based on unproven claims where virtually every prediction has been wildly wrong. The truth is CO2 is greening the planet increasing life globally.

Here in California electricity is now 40 cents a kwh for anyone that uses very much. Businesses are leaving the state - including mine.

Well, Trump hasn't caved so far which is more than we can say for his predecessor ... so why assume that he will?
