Big Oil breaks with Trump on potential second withdrawal from Paris climate agreement (barf)

Big Oil is calling on President-elect Donald Trump to keep the U.S. in the Paris climate agreement after withdrawing from the treaty during his first term.
The Paris Agreement, established at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in 2015, is a legally binding treaty between nearly 195 parties who are committed to international cooperation on climate change.
Trump officially withdrew from the treaty in 2020, but the U.S. was reinstated to the climate agreement in 2021 after President Biden took office.
After winning a second term in the 2024 election, Trump is expected to consider a second withdrawal from the agreement. However, some oil companies have expressed opposition to the idea.
When Trump first announced plans to withdraw from the climate agreement in 2017, then-CEO of Shell, Ben van Beurden, was opposed to the idea.
"We believe climate change is real," van Beurden told NPR. "We believe that the world needs to go through an energy transition to prevent a very significant rise in global temperatures. And we need to be part of that solution in making it happen."
Ahead of his upcoming second term, Trump is facing renewed calls to consider remaining in the international climate agreement.

The Paris Agreement, established at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in 2015, is a legally binding treaty
Amazing the Fox News editor allowed that exceedingly misleading narrative to be included because it is not legally binding to US as the Senate never ratified it.

The regs prevent upstart companies from competing against Big Oil.
It’s a way to raise price without colluding.
The Permian Basin was created by little one well independents that slowly grew into giant PIA companies for Big Oil.
They don’t like that.
