Great question!

In my opinion, the United States' withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement will lead to higher globalized ecological footprint.

While the United States is not the no. 1 polluter in the world (that distinction goes to China), the US is still a large country with hundreds of millions of people who might use more energy, fuel, coal and other fossilized fuels.

After signing the Paris Climate Agreement, the United States had set milestones to meet and reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but after it's withdrawal, the government is not bound by any such restrictions.
