With President Donald Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate accord, China and California signed an agreement Tuesday to work together on reducing emissions, as the state's governor warned that "disaster still looms" without urgent action. Trump's announcement last week that he wants to pull out of the Paris accord did not come up, according to the governor. Trump argued that the Paris agreement favors emerging economies such as China's and India's at the expense of U.S. workers. California, with some of the strictest climate controls in the nation, has been at the forefront of the sector. Trump Energy Secretary Rick Perry also is attending this week's energy meeting in Beijing.
