CALL ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

YOUR PRESIDENT HAD ALL RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE HIS POINTS, HIS OBJECTIONS OR DOUBTS

I think he should still be given this opportunity. The participant nations in the Paris Climate Treaty should preferably take the initiative soon. The should cordially invite the US president to clarify his case, and perhaps offer help in overcoming severe obstacles.

I am expressing this from my deepest personal – family – roots in the history of the American people. And in a sense, given that ancestry, I am American too, even as a 100% Dutchman. All of us – in the United States and Europe – share this fundamental history, and the values that went with it. 

It would truly be a shock to us all if we cannot share one of the greatest challenges in human history, the preservation of the livelihood of our planet.
