U. S. Climate Treaty Exit: What's the Big Deal?

The U. S. has decided to leave a major climate agreement. This move has sparked debate. Some say it might not even be legal. The U. S. is pulling out of the U. N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. This is a big deal. The U. S. has been part of this treaty for over 30 years. The Senate approved it back in 1992. President Trump says the U. S. is leaving because the treaty doesn't align with U. S. interests. He wants to focus on oil, gas, and mining. He also pulled the U. S. out of the Paris climate agreement. This is the only country to leave the UNFCCC.Legal experts are divided. Some say the president can't just leave a treaty without Congress. Others say he can. The U. S. Constitution doesn't clearly explain how to leave a treaty. If the U. S. wants to rejoin, it might be tricky. Some say it needs Senate approval again. Others say it can rejoin easily. But getting Senate approval is hard these days. The U. S. is already missing climate talks. It skipped the last U. N. climate summit. This move could make it harder for the U. S. to influence climate policies. The UNFCCC requires big emitters to cut emissions. It also asks them to help poorer nations. Leaving could mean the U. S. won't have a say in future climate rules.
