No, it isn’t.
So when we fire up those clean coal plants, and are in “violation” (as most countries were for Kyoto a few years back), who’s gonna put whom in jail?
Nothing is irreversible. Just consider the fate of the 18th Amendment, that introduced Prohibition on a national scale. Carved into stone as a part of the Constitution, its ill effects were obvious within months of introduction, and only got progressively worse over the fourteen years it was in force (or rather, enforced in a perfunctory and capricious manner). The outcome was to introduce a widespread distrust and flouting of the authority of the Federal government.
Perhaps what he meant was that it is “irreversible” for France. I don’t know how treaties are ratified in France, but in the USA it has to be agreed to by 2/3rds of the Senate and that ain’t gonna happen.
Blow me, Hollande.
No it isn’t, but France’s government is.
It is. It says so right on the agreement. LOL
