Hvem avgjør om og når vi skal fikse på klima? Foreløpig kan alle land gjøre som de vil. Folk er skeptiske til Frankenstein-løsninger, men hvis utslippene fortsetter å øke, kan noen til slutt si at vi ikke lenger har et valg. #cicerodagen25 @skallbekken.bsky.social

They are getting as close a possible to withdrawing from the UNFCCC without withdrawing, but I am not sure about the reasons. Legally it is unclear, but most likely Trump could withdraw without Senate approval - www.climatechangenews.com/2024/11/04/l...
Trump could quit Paris agreement - but leaving UNFCCC is harder
As the US Senate approved joining the UNFCC, it’s unclear if Trump could easily pull the country out, even if he leaves the Paris agreement

It has been widely shared that Trump has withdrawn the US from the Paris Agreement, but the executive order also revokes "any purported financial commitments" made under the UNFCCC and revokes the US International Climate Finance Plan www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... @ciceroclimate.bsky.social
