THE PARIS AGREEMENT-ACCORD (NRDC Summary within link)
Over the weekend, there was plenty of back and forth talk of Trump "re-joining" The Paris Accord. First he was, then he wasn't, then he was and just a few hours ago, he wasn't.

His ratings are low, maybe after all the Hurricanes he was working the crowd ? Naomi Kline addresses his "position" this morning; don't miss all the news at DN:
