Larry Kudlow: Trump Is Right to Withdraw From Climate Deal
Larry Kudlow, the economic guru and former adviser to President Ronald Reagan, said President Donald Trump is right to pull the U.S. out of a 2015 global agreement to fight climate change. A key question is how the country will withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord.
“He could put it to the Senate. It was never ratified. It is a treaty which was never ratified,” Kudlow said on CNBC. “Also, the United States could take a six- or 12-month moratorium.” Handing the accord to lawmakers would have delayed the accord, given that Sentate has other priorities such as healthcare and tax reforms.
Trump on Thursday said the U.S. would begin negotiations either to re-enter the Paris accord or to have a new agreement "on terms that are fair to the United States, its businesses, its workers, its people, its taxpayers." Trump also decried the treaty’s "draconian" financial and economic burdens. He said American withdrawal "represents a reassertion of American sovereignty."
Kudlow said he’s against the idea of a government setting industrial policy and intervening in free markets. He pointed to the commercialization of fracking technology to drill for lower-emission natural gas as an example of private initiatives that reduce air pollution. The technical innovation was the byproduct of federally funded research, but it required entrepreneurial risk-taking and private interests to be developed, Kudlow said.
He also said that U.S. industry has taken major steps to reduce its emissions, while Germany is raising its emissions by reverting back to burning coal to meet its energy needs.

Inside The ‘Resistance’ To The Paris Climate Accord And How They Held Trump To His Promise
President Donald Trump announced he would fulfill his campaign promise to withdraw from the Paris agreement on climate change, eviscerating a signature achievement of the Obama administration.
Trump’s decision came after weeks of intense lobbying from both sides of the Paris accord debate. Corporations, environmentalists and Democrats urged Trump to stick with the deal, while Republicans and conservative groups pushed for withdrawal.
More intense was the debate within the White House itself. Key staffers were lined on both sides of the issue, making Trump’s decision to withdraw a lengthier process than many anticipated.
While the decision was ultimately Trump’s to make, there were many people working behind the scenes and in public to make sure the president kept his campaign promise to “cancel” the climate accord.
