The U.S. and other countries signed the Paris climate agreement in New York on Friday.
The next president could - in theory - refuse to uphold America’s commitment.
There’s a history of newly elected presidents abandoning international treaties their predecessors endorsed.
In 2001, former President George Bush rejected the Kyoto Protocol on global warming, which the U.S. had signed in 1998.
But now, most Americans want to get serious about climate change.
Over 90 percent of Americans believe in global warming and two-thirds support the Paris deal, whereas as late as 2005, fewer than half of Americans said they supported the Kyoto protocol.
