The Imperial system of measurements has nothing to do with it.  This move diminishes us even further in the eyes of the world (as if that was possible after the travel ban, demeaning comments about other countries, rude behavior toward other leaders, etc.) and shows just how backward the US is in terms of respecting and preserving the planet we all share, regardless of nationality or politics, etc.

My only hope is something I read yesterday, that full withdrawal from the Paris accord will take years, by which time DT may be gone from such a damaging position of power.
