“It is pathetic”: Bernie Sanders slams Trump after ExxonMobil urges White House to abide by Paris climate accord

The largest oil company in the world understands more about climate change than the president of the United States

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders slammed President Donald Trump on Wednesday after energy giant ExxonMobil asked the White House to not yank the U.S. from participating in the landmark Paris Agreement.

The historic international climate deal has been a top target of Trump, who appears hell-bent on dismantling his predecessor’s legacy. When former President Barack Obama signed the 2015 deal forged between nearly 200 countries, he had suggested that the Paris agreement may one day be seen as the moment the world decided to save the planet.

Under the Paris accord, the U.S. agreed to reduce its carbon emissions 26 percent to 28 percent below the levels emitted in 2005. But on Tuesday Trump signed an executive order to ditch Obama’s Clean Power Plan to lower emissions of greenhouse gases that warm the planet. According to Bloomberg, Trump’s order lays out “a broad blueprint for the Trump administration to dismantle the architecture that former President Barack Obama built to combat the phenomenon.”

As Trump’s White House seeks to unravel Obama’s greenhouse gas commitments, a most unlikely ally of the largest climate change compact has emerged to lobby the new president.

1. I follow Bernie on social media and he's relentless!

And not just on social media, he's gone after Trump in print, on television, at town halls and rallies - Bernie's like Savoir Fair - he's everywhere!

We need more ANGRY and LOUD progressives who aren't afraid to ruffle some feathers. Call Trump out by name! Call him a pathological liar! Expose his hypocrisy! Go, Bernie, go!

3. Warren has been pretty good at that.

And there are a few other firebrands out there - I applaud any and all who don't care if people call them angry and disrespectful - in fact this is why I respect them even more. Let the pundits tut tut about how our side is supposed to be calm and polite after the way they treated us - we're still the adults in the room and that didn't change because we're pissed.

4. A few are.

I don't know if any are as relentless.
