For three decades, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has been the basis for global efforts to limit heat-trapping emissions.
The State Department says the convention is one of 66 international organizations that no longer serve U.S.
interests.
Critics say the U.S.
is forfeiting its ability to shape global climate initiatives.
Trump refused to send a delegation to UN climate negotiations last year in Brazil, and the president had already pulled the U.S.
out of the Paris Agreement, which set a goal to limit global warming to 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial levels.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, says the U.S.
could rejoin both agreements under a future administration.

No hurricanes made landfall in the U.S.
last year, but disaster costs still exceeded $100 billion for the fourth time in five years.
According to Climate Central, a climate science and communications nonprofit,
More than half of last year's damages were caused by wildfires.
Climate change is fueling more intense storms, floods, and wildfires that damage and destroy property.
Costs are also rising because people continue moving to coastal regions vulnerable to hurricanes and forested areas prone to wildfires.
And when disasters happen, inflation has made rebuilding more expensive.

Dominion's offshore wind facility was one of five projects targeted by the Interior Department's latest stop-work order as the Trump administration escalates its attacks on the offshore wind industry.
The Interior Department said the construction pause would give the government time to work with project developers to address national security concerns raised in a recent classified report.
