Topline: The Paris Accord is a deal iorArnericans, and the President's action today is keeping his campaign promise
to put American workers tirst. The Accord was negotiated poorly lay the uoarna Administration and signed out of
desperation. lt irontloads costs on the American people to the detriment otoor economy and you growth while
extracting meaningless commitments from the world's top glooal emitters, like china. The U5. is already leading the
world in energy production and doesn't need a bad deal that will harm American workers.

UNDERMINES US. Campetitiveness and Jobs

According to a study by NERA Consulting, meeting the Obama Administration's requirements in the Paris Accord
would cost the U5. economy nearly $3 trillion over the next several decades.

my 2040, nur economy would lose 5.5 million industrial sectorions 7 including 3.1 million manufacturing sector
jobs

it would effectively decapitate our opal industry, which now supplies about anesthird of our electric power

The deal was negotiated BADLV, and extracts meaningless commitments from the world's top polluters

The Obamasnegotiated Accord imposes unrealistic targets on the us. for reducing our carbon emissions, while
giving countries like China a tree pass for years to come.

0 Under the Accord, China will actually increase emissions until 2030

The u.s. is Clean Energy and on at Gas Energy Leader; we can reduce ouremissions and continue to produce
American energy without the Paris Accord

America has already reduced its zarbondiuxide emissions dramatically.

Since 1005. C02 emissions have declined by 12 percent, and are expected to continue to decline,

Accordingto the Energy lntonnation Administration (EIA), the u.s. isthe leader in oil gas production.

The agreement funds a UN climate slush Fund underwritten by American taxpayers

President Obama committed $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund - which is about 30 percent of the initial
funding - without authorization from Congress

With $20 trillion in debt, the us. taxpayers should not be paying to subsidize other countries' energy needs,
The deal also accomplishes Ll'i'l'LE for the climate

Acmrdi ti: researchers at MIT, if all member nations met their obligations, the impact on the climate would be
negligible. The impacts have been estimated to he likely to reduce global temperature rise by less than .2 degrees
Celsius in 2100s
