WASHINGTON Earlier this year, Republican presidential nominee Donald
Trump sparked the ire of scientists and climate activists when he vowed to
cancel the Paris climate agreement once in office. Now, hundreds of US
scientists have addressed this threat in an open letter warning of the
perils of such action.
.
Signed by 375 members of the National Academy of Sciences, the letter
explicitly refers to the Republican nominee for President and notes that
such a decision would make it far more difficult to develop effective
global strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change. The
consequences of opting out of the global community would be severe and
long-lasting for our planets climate and for the international
credibility of the United States.
.
During his opening address to the general assembly, in fact, UN
Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon reiterated the importance of bringing the
Paris Agreement into full force this year. In order to take effect, the
agreement must be ratified by at least 55 countries representing 55
percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, 60 countries
representing 48 percent of global emissions, including the US, have signed
on. Thirtyone of these joined en masse Wednesday.
.
The US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement would really set back all of
our efforts to deal with climate problems, said Kerry Emanuel, a professor
of atmospheric science at MIT and one of the letters organizers. American
leadership is such an essential thing trying to solve climate problems.
He added that if the administration that withdraws from the Paris
Agreement is also going to withdraw from efforts to develop clean energy,
then the US will lose its leadership position in developing clean energy,
and thats perhaps one of the worst things that will happen.
.
Prior to the Paris Agreement, the international community had focused on a
goal of keeping temperatures within two degrees Celsius of pre-industrial
levels. At Paris, the threshold was narrowed to well below two degrees,
and the agreement also explicitly mentioned 1.5 degrees as an aspiration.
The US is the second largest global emitter of global warming gases but
its actions still rank first in terms of influence on the course of action
taken by other countries,said Michael Oppenheimer, a climate expert at
Princeton University, in an email to The Washington Post. If we withdraw,
or even slow our implementation of the EPA regulations, other countries
will take note and their own ambition in tackling climate change will
likely decrease. Then the prospect of attaining 1.5 or two degrees or even
three degrees would fade like a pipe dream.
