US cuts carbon emissions more than foreign nations that criticize Trump environmental policies

When President Trump announced his plan to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Accords in June 2017, the howling cries from left-wing environmentalists could be heard across the globe.

From Canada to China and throughout Europe, the world denounced the president’s decision as reckless and in contradiction to “settled science.” Without the Paris Climate Accords, they argued, Earth would soon find itself cascading off the global warming cliff.

One year later, Earth is still here, as you may have noticed.

And the U.S. economy – due in large part to the Trump administration’s commitment to deregulation and energy dominance – has continued to grow at breakneck speed. On Friday the federal government announced our nation’s gross domestic product grew at an annualized rate of 4.1 percent in the second quarter of this year – the highest growth rate in four years.

On top of this good news, despite the warnings of gloom and doom from President Trump’s opponents, America is now the world leader in cutting carbon dioxide emissions. Yes, you read that right.

Due to market pressures and a switch from coal to natural gas. Someone must have informed Donny that clean coal is not a thing.

Hold up. 4.1% is break neck speed? OK. But I swear if I were to go back in the record book, when that quarterly number was hitting 4.1% under Obama you guys cried about how that was poor performance. This is not a anti trump statement. I'm just asking you guys to get your story straight.

Back to the topic at hand; there is so much in the way of missing data and selective skewing of info in this article, one can't even address it all in this comment box. Wake up people. I don't care what your opinions are, I just want you all to start making those opinions based on a real understanding of the facts.
