President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the U.S. would officially pull out of the Paris climate agreement in a formal press conference.
Back in 2015, 195 countries signed on to the pact, which was created to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change namely higher global temperatures that ultimately lead to dangerous weather effects like storms and major droughts. The agreement signaled a turning point in which the world was charting a course for a low-carbon economy.
Since Trump announced the U.S.'s withdrawal from the agreement, many celebrities have taken to Twitter with sharp backlash of the announcement.
U.S. chooses not to stay in Paris accord. The “Losers?” Everyone on Earth. Sad. https://t.co/wYUB9OY7hM

So Kathy Griffin is more harmful to Barron Trump than global warming. Got it.
@billyeichner
Trump is having the U.S. pull out of the Paris Climate Accord. Too bad someone didn't tell his father that he shoulda pulled out, too.

Trump just worried that the world was laughing at us. True. They have been since the escalator ride. But today...today God cried.
@perlmutations
Trump alienates allies, walks away from #ParisAgreement & sabotages health care. His presidency is all destruction & no accomplishments

We're already feeling impacts of climate change. Exiting #ParisAgreement imperils US security and our ability to own the clean energy future

It'll be great to see all the economic progress in blue states & cities that continue to embrace science & the Paris deal.
@kalpenn
Trump is stone cold stupid. That's right @realDonaldTrump is an intellectually impotent little man who needs to b impeached #ParisAgreeement

We are deeply disappointed that the United States federal government has decided to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

@Rosie
Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement is an abdication of American leadership and an international disgrace.
@SenSanders
Wow. Of all the backward, boneheaded decisions this one is the most destructive. #parisclimateagreement
@justanactor
I'm guessing that Donald Trump doesn't see the irony in making his announcement to leave the Paris Agreement while standing in a garden.
@chelseahandler
Donald asks "At what point does America get demeaned? At what point do they start laughing at us?"
@GeorgeTakei
Literally, the moment you were elected.
America your president is out of the flow big time. If only our world leaders would realize that beyond all borders, we are one earth.
@CodySimpson
It's just one fucking DISASTER after another. Every week I say 'I'M DONE!' The following week a new low is reached. Trump redefining bottom
@wcruz73
Am departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world.
