3. #ParisAgreement
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he is pulling out of the Paris Agreement. The agreement between the United Nations strives to reduce global warming, but the U.S. is no longer a part of it. His decision resulted in a huge backlash on Twitter.
"Dystopian, dishonest and discredited" – @nytimes not holding back in their verdict. #ParisAgreement https://t.co/LBUnQ9F2ju pic.twitter.com/dNgjkPCdMx

This is why a deal like the #ParisAgreement is important. Global warming will decimate all the sleeves in the #Dail if we don't act now! https://t.co/wxJ38wAarU

5. #BattleForNumber10
On Monday viewers tuned into the debate on Channel 4 between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn. However, the Prime Minister made it clear that she would not debate face-to-face with the Labour leader; and so the candidates were questioned separately. The tweets poured in during the debate as viewers watched it live.
Why are people so incensed by a man who strives for Peace? He's obviously a peaceful man. A Morally Good man. #BattleForNumber10 #Corbyn

8. #TigerWoods
Stateside, golf star Tiger Woods received a DUI early Monday morning. Afterwards, police released a video of Woods’ arrest and fans were deeply disappointed. Some even disapproved of the police decision to release the tape.

Now police are showing images of Tiger woods in the cell. Empathy of a burst football these people. Immensely sad
