00:00It'll start getting cooler.

00:12You just watch.

00:13I wish science agreed with you.

00:31The Paris Accord would undermine our economy, hamstring our workers, weaken our sovereignty,

00:40impose unacceptable legal risk, and put us at a permanent disadvantage to the other countries

00:49of the world.

00:51It is time to exit the Paris Accord.

01:40After I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord, last year America reduced

01:50its carbon emissions by more than any country in the agreement.

01:55Those who attack America's exceptional environmental record while ignoring China's rampant pollution

02:01are not interested in the environment.

02:04They only want to punish America, and I will not stand for it.

02:19Former years of this man eliminating all the regulations that were put in by us to clean

02:25up the climate, to clean up, to limit the limit of emissions, will put us in a position

02:31where we are going to be in real trouble.

03:31But number one since Teddy Roosevelt, who would have thought, Trump is the great environmentalist.

03:42Do you hear that, Ed?

03:43Do you hear that?

03:44I do love the environment, but what I want is the cleanest, crystal clear water, the

04:01cleanest air.

04:23We right now have the cleanest air we've ever had in this country, let's say over the last

04:2840 years, because I assume 200 years ago was probably better.

04:33What do you think?

04:58Last year, I designated 1.3 million acres of public land as new wilderness.

05:06I ordered much more active forest management to prevent catastrophic wildfires.

05:11I'm recommending they do that in California and other locations, and you'll see how quickly

05:16the wildfires stop.

05:17The Great American Outdoors Act provides $900 million a year in guaranteed funding for the

05:24Land and Water Conservation Fund so that all Americans can continue to enjoy our parks,

05:31wildlife refuges.

05:32I mean, you look at this, you look at what we do with our wildlife, and it's really been

06:08After decades of abandonment and neglect, we're once again taking care of America's

06:35historic sites, lush forests, towering mountains, windswept and beautiful windswept prairies

06:42and precious wetlands and wildlife.
