America has been in the news on many occasions since Donald Trump managed to win the 2016 Presidential Election, however it usually isn’t the result of a positivity. Climate change is an issue that we as a population must be dedicated to tackling together, but the 45^th President of the United States seems to have other ideas as he made headlines on June 1^st 2017 after withdrawing from the accord.

Here at Pearson Fuels, we know that there are many contributing factors towards global warming with the use of coal in abundance being one of them. The team are here to bring you the lowdown on the Paris Climate Accord and discuss what Trump’s withdrawal could mean for the coal miners of America…

The Paris Climate Acord was negotiated by 196 representatives and adopted in December of 2015 when Barack Obama was still serving as 44^th President of the United States. The aim of the accord is to ensure that every country plans and reports its contributions to global warming in an effort to prevent increases.

Unfortunately, the decision to withdraw from the accord sends a very negative message to the world from America and simply suggests that the most powerful country in the world will not take responsibility for the damages that it has inflicted by contributing to global warming. In fact, it is likely that the decision will have consequences for the US such as straining political relationships, uncertainty regarding mining jobs and even economical effects.
