Tanq - here is really why the argument is disingenuous. Cruz says "he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh."

The climate accords don't put the interest of foreign citizens above the jobs of citizens in the US. For starters, there are plenty of US citizens who support the accords, so they are being represented (most notably, those in the example city). Second, there are plenty of states rich in existing jobs in renewable resources that could benefit, and likely more states will benefit as renewable energy industries mature. This isn't a zero-sum game where climate measures only hurt jobs.

But Cruz portrays this as accords that don't have any US citizens' interests in mind and will only negatively affect job numbers. That isn't the case.
