The Paris Climate Agreement šŸŒ is basically like a worldwide pact where countries promise to save the planet. Signed in 2015, 190+ countries agreed to cut down on greenhouse gases 🌱 and keep the world’s temperature from rising beyond 1.5°C šŸŒ”ļø. Everyone had a role to play, including big polluters like the US šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø, India šŸ‡®šŸ‡³, and China šŸ‡ØšŸ‡³.

But here’s where it gets spicy šŸŒ¶ļø: former US President Donald Trump wasn’t a fan. He said the deal was unfair and made the US lose out while other nations, like China and India, got to pollute more 😤. So, in 2020, Trump officially pulled America out of the agreement. This move stirred a storm šŸŒŖļø of debates and reactions worldwide.
