With reports that President Donald Trump is leaning toward pulling the United States out of the Paris climate accord, it has been unsurprising that many industries and leaders have come out urging the president not to withdraw from the agreement. It was a given and was unsurprising that the technology sector giants would want to remain within the Paris climate accord.
What has been surprising is how many CEOs you might have guessed would want out of the accord who have publicly urged President Trump not to withdraw the United States from the agreement. These are CEOs and leaders in oil and gas, power generation and utilities, chemicals, coal and the large banks that finance them.
As far as 2015 global pact is concerned, it is made up of nearly 200 nations seeking to limit global warming or climate change by lowering CO2 emissions and other fossil fuel emissions.
