Legality

The United States Constitution provides that the president "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur" (Article II, section 2). Treaties are binding agreements between nations and become part of international law. Treaties to which the United States is a party also have the force of federal legislation, forming part of what the Constitution calls "the supreme Law of the Land."

In recent decades, presidents have frequently entered the United States into international agreements without the advice and consent of the Senate. These are called "executive agreements." Though not brought before the Senate for approval, executive agreements are still binding on the parties under international law.

While this is a step forward it goes nowhere near far enough. The planet is in crisis. We need bold action in the very near future and this does not provide that.
Bernie Sanders, Vermont Senator (D), December 12, 2015

Today the American people can be proud because this historic agreement is a tribute to American leadership.

Solution

The Paris Agreement is just a show piece. If you truly believe Global Warming is caused by industrialization, then get rid of industry. You can't take shortcuts like green technologies. They have their problems too, such as they require fossil fuels for their production and upkeep. The solution is education and innovation. Society has to figure a way to produce food for a growing population without introducing additional mechanical tools. Decrease population density may help but then certain people would lose power.
