The “Pact” allows China to ADD as much carbon emissions as all of Europe PRODUCES currently... while the rest of the world has to reduce carbon emissions. It does nothing to help the environment, it rewards the world’s worst polluter, and was opposed by Environmentalists when it came out.

At what point in our lives does “All the cool kids are doing it” become an acceptable reason to do something stupid? That appears to be the thrust of this story.

There is good news about Syria?

An analogy of the deal...
10 neighbors get together to agree to a deal to keep the lawns nice. 9 of them agree that 1 person must be responsible for making sure everyone has a nice lawn and making sure they are mowed and groomed every week. They all agree that the 1 neighbor with the largest and nicest lawn has to be responsible for all the grass in the neighborhood at their own expense.
Can you guess which neighbor might object to the deal?

The countries set to receive the redistribution of wealth are probably complying, little good it will do them without the US to foot the bill.

We’ll see how many of these accord “members” actually put any money on the line. China and India will resist change indefinitely I’m thinking.
Oh, wait, it is of course OUR fault - they were all prepared to make huge sacrifices if only the US would pay for those sacrifices.

Well, fine CNN. How many of the signatories are living up to their part of the contract? Any of the ones that have immediate carbon-reduction quotas?

The US should just say illegal immigration causes climate change and they won’t join until the wall is 100% built.
Then step back.

And there are countries in the accord that are in it only to get free money from the USA.
To: SeekAndFind
So there are only 2 countries that see through the smoke and mirrors of this horrible idea? Wow.
