Subject: Letter to President Trump on Paris Climate Treaty from 41 non-profit organizations
Letter to President Trump on Paris Climate Treaty from CEI, AEA, and 39 organizations, 8 May 2017.pdf
Please find attached our joint letter from 41 non-profit conservative and free market groups to President Trump urging him to keep his campaign commitment to withdraw from the Paris Climate Treaty. I find it totally convincing and hope the President and you will, too.

It has been reported by several media outlets that the tide is turning in the White House in favor of withdrawing from the Paris Climate Treaty. These reports appear to be based on what President Trump said at his Harrisburg rally last week and on the fact that White House counsel Don McGahn has disagreed with career State Department lawyers on two issues: whether the treaty allows parties to withdraw their NDCs and submit less ambitious ones; and whether remaining in the treaty can be used by environmental pressure groups in their legal challenges to stop the EPA from withdrawing or weakening the so-called Clean Power Plan, the methane rule, the CAFE standards, etc.
It is incredible to me that any political appointee in the White House would pay any attention at all to the legal opinions of career State Department lawyers who are heavily invested in the Paris Climate Treaty. If President Trump does decide to keep his campaign commitment contrary to the advice of the promise breakers in his administration, we will owe Don McGahn a big thanks for pointing this out.
Regardless of which way the tide is going in the White House, the final decision will be made by President Trump. I hope many non-profit groups will sign on to the joint letter I circulated yesterday. The deadline for signing is tomorrow at 3 PM. A letter signed by a lot of free market and conservative groups will show that the movement is united in support of the President's campaign promise. Let me know if your group can sign the joint letter. I'll be happy to send another copy if you can't find my e-mail from yesterday.
In terms of policy, CEI released a paper today by my colleagues Marlo Lewis and Chris Horner that I think is close to definitive on most of the major issues. Pasted below is the press release, which has a link to the
