Donald
Trump's advisers are exploring alternatives to bypass the four-year waiting
period to back out from the Paris agreement, a member of the transition team
told Reuters.
The
options include withdrawing from the parent treaty, the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, entirely or issuing a presidential order to
delete the U.S. signature from the climate deal.
Before
leaving for Marrakech on Sunday, Sec. of State John Kerry said that the Obama
administration would do everything possible to implement the global agreement
before Trump takes office.
In
an interview, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Europe should
respond with a trade war and institute a carbon tax for U.S. products if Trump
backs out.
Backing out of the Paris agreement
isn't the only anti-environment plan Trump has been touting.
He has also said he wants to
dismantle the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and revoke the Clean
Power Plan.
