President Donald J. Trump's decision to begin the process of US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord is bad for the global climate that our children and grandchildren will experience. It will slow down global attempts to reduce emissions at a time when worldwide momentum was building for consequential action, and when technological progress has made the vision of zero-emissions energy systems imaginable for the first time in human history. Trump has endorsed a dirty, costly, and essentially obsolete technology - coal- fired power plants - and dismissed the energy revolu- tion that will surely be a major story of the twenty-first century, with or without American leadership.
