On Sunday, Pruitt accused what he called the "environmental left" of false outrage at the president's decision to exit the agreement, which was signed in late 2015. "The environmental left has a very short memory," Pruitt said on “This Week.” "When Paris was executed by this country, they criticized the agreement, said that it did not hold China and carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. At the time the agreement was signed, "We were reducing our CO2 print substantially," he said. "We are leading with action, not words," Pruitt added. "When you look at Paris, frankly, when you look at what was supposed to be achieved there by other nations across the globe, it was very little. It was criticized by the environmental left."

"The president indicated very clearly, that engagement by this country internationally is going to continue," said Pruitt. Link to the full article to read more
