Besides being a potential legislative win in being visionary and forward looking, committing to these measures is important for the health and economy of the state. Countries, states, and cities that have committed to renewable energy has shown that it is a boon to the economy by sparking ingenuity and opening up new businesses with new jobs. With mayors in Columbia and Charleston, as well as the flagship campus at USC committing to these measures, the state would be investing in the economy of the present and future by joining the alliance. Secondly, given the historic floods of the past few years and the devastation they have caused, it is a question of health and security to limit the effects of climate change before we are in an annual cycle of rebuilding infrastructure Post flooding.

Trump's withdrawal of the United States in the US climate alliance and Paris Accord is an embarrassment to our country in view of a progressive international community that recognizes and is taking action on the very real issue of man-made climate damage and destructive behaviors.

Illinois must join the alliance of states upholding the Paris Climate Accords.

The state of Missouri needs to stand up and lead the way during this crucial time in human history. The governor needs to join the Mayor of St. Louis, Missouri, and all Missourians to take action for our planet and for future generations. Climate change is a human issue, not a political one.

The health of the earth and our environment depends on US. All of us. At every level. Regardless of the ignorance or denial in the White House presently, we need to continue to fight climate change and make all attempts to prevent pollution and landfills!

I am appalled by Pres. Trump's withdrawal from the Paris accord and want to act!

I have been a lifelong advocate of protecting the world we need to look to the future and cease this money grabbing short-sighted view that the present administrations seem to have regarding these agreements. North Carolina's east coast has a huge tourism market with premier beaches and these can all be negatively affected by rising sea water.

After Trump announced that the US would pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement, dozens of governors joined together to commit to uphold the carbon reduction called for by the Agreement. Long term economic stability will not be possible with human-caused climate change threatening public health and the stability of society. We must be proactive because none of us can afford the needless human costs of failing to act now. Governor Wolf must act now!

North Carolina citizens need to stand up for global environmental stewardship.

Ohio should not be left behind the world, we should stand with the world. The Great Lakes are the largest source of fresh water this side of the world. We need to protect our own water, our own air, and this can best be done by joining with the world.

The future liveability of the planet is in great danger due to increased fossil fuel use since the industrial ervolution and the impact on global warming gases in the atmosphere. I worry about all future generations, including my own children, and all other species as well.

We were inspired by a school activity to learn more about controversial problems around the world, and we stumbled upon a heartbreaking problem going around. Sea animals are going extinct because of us and what were are doing to their habitat. One of the most rare dolphins (freshwater), the Baiji (Yangtze River Dolphin), is extinct because of us.
