The move sparked outrage from environmentally conscious political pundits and musicians alike, including John Legend, Ellie Goulding, Jack Antonoff, Bette Midler, Moby and more.

Short-sighted #DonaldTrump quits Climate Accords. Think of all the time effort & money poured into this & he bails giving BigOil a windfall.

There has never in US history been such a destructive megalomaniac in the WH. Thank you to US press and other numbskulls who put him there.

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.
