Exxon Chief to Trump: Don’t Withdraw From Paris Climate Deal

I’m going to assume that this is either a PR move, or intended to position Exxon to sabotage any meaningful agreement for emissions cuts.

It’s because it is ineffective and doesn’t have any consequences if they fail. Withdrawing will prompt blue states to push even harder om regulation, as well as the EU possibly waking up. I think they are afraid of the Streisand effect, nothing more.

My take is they’ve already established work arounds and if it changes then they’ll loose that leverage, and potentially have a worse deal to work with in the future…not that any Dem will ever hold the majority or oval office again, but maybe.
