As the Paris climate agreement edged closer to entering into force which many advocates hope will occur before the possibility of a Trump presidency Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday thanked what he called warriors for the planet as the second-to-last hurdle on the path to that achievement was cleared.
Addressing the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Kerry said he was absolutely confident that the most ambitious climate deal yet negotiated will enter into force before the next U.N. climate megaconference, which starts in Marrakech, Morocco on November 7 one day before the U.S. election.
He ascribed that confidence to conversations he and President Obama have had with leaders of several key countries.
The Paris agreement enters into force 30 days after two milestones are achieved ratification by at least 55 countries, and ratification by countries accounting for at least 55 percent of global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) blamed for climate change.
Kerry was speaking on the day the first of those hurdles was cleared: At an event hosted by secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, 31 countries deposited their instruments of ratification (or equivalent) with the U.N., taking the total number having done so to 60.
Most of the 31 countries account for small proportions of global GHG emissions, although they included three relatively large emitters Brazil (responsible for 2.48 percent of total emissions), Mexico (1.7 percent) and Argentina (0.89 percent).

ROTFLMAO!
These people are flat out being insane in their self-righteousness!

Why don’t we get the people in the United States rename Puerto Rico permanently “Moronia” and grant the people of any state the right by majority vote to exile anyone to Moronia.
tropical hotspot relied upon by the EPA to declare carbon dioxide a pollutant simply does not exist in the real world.
They found that once El Ninos are taken into account, there is no record setting warming to be concerned about.
I’m amazed at the depth of hypocrisy. Here’s a guy who owns mansions, gas guzzlers, flies on a jumbo jet, and owned a yacht lecturing the rest of us on our carbon emissions.
It’s pure propaganda and fantasy. There were no Paris “accords.” All the countries agreed to was to do something about globull warming, sort of, maybe, if we feel like it, someday. Yeah, real “warriors.”
Will they Nuke your country if you fail to follow UN’s Rules/Laws
