US formally notifies UN of withdrawal from Paris climate accordThe United States on Monday formally notified the United Nations that it was withdrawing from the Paris climate accord, making the world's largest economy the sole outlier from the agreement. President Donald Trump went ahead with the pullout despite mounting evidence of the reality and impact of climate change, with September the fourth month in the row with near- or record-breaking temperatures. With the notification, the United States will be out of the agreement negotiated by Trump's predecessor Barack Obama in one year -- on November 4, 2020.
