Climate after Paris

The day we have been dreading has arrived - the United States is pulling out of the Paris accord, which some might say was a weak agreement in the first place. What's next? Will other countries step up - I hope they do. Will they also bolt the stable? Even more likely, will we continue doing nothing while paying lip service to lofty goals because we know that international commitments mean nothing?
