| USDA Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue getting sworn in |
The US Department of Agriculture
(USDA), have released the statement of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue on
President Donald Trump’s Paris Accord Announcement.
Mr Perdue announced, “President
Trump promised that he would put America first and he has rightly determined
that the Paris accord was not in the best interests of the United States. In
addition to costing our economy trillions of dollars and millions of jobs, the
accord also represented a wilful and voluntary ceding of our national
sovereignty. The agreement would have had negligible impact on world temperatures,
especially since other countries and major world economies were not being held
to the same stringent standards as the United States.”
He continued, “The Earth’s climate
has been changing since the planet was formed – on this there is no disagreement.
At USDA, we rely on sound science and we remain firmly committed to digging
ever deeper into research to develop better methods of agricultural production
in that changing climate. Floods, droughts and natural disasters are a fact of
life for farmers, ranchers and foresters. They have persevered in the past, and
they will adapt in the future – with the assistance of the scientists and
experts at USDA. To be effective, our research and programmes need to be
focuses on finding solutions and providing state-of-the-art technologies to
improve management decisions on farm and forest lands.”
