As UN Environment admits in its latest Emissions Shortfall report, even when you add up all the CO2 reduction pledges made by all the signatory nations at Paris, it still comes to only a third of what is supposedly necessary to stop the world warming by more than 2 degrees C by the end of this century.
According to UN Environment’s head Eric Solheim, the world is heading for disaster:
“One year after the Paris Agreement entered into force, we still find ourselves in a situation where we are not doing nearly enough to save hundreds of millions of people from a miserable future. Governments, the private sector and civil society must bridge this catastrophic climate gap.”
Another way of looking at it, though, is that President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris accord is now fully vindicated. Had the Agreement been ratified, the U.S. would have handed countries like China and India a huge competitive advantage over the American economy. But – as even the UN now admits – it would have made no discernible difference to the alleged problem of “global warming.” So what, exactly would have been the point?
Here is a pretty graph prepared by the BBC that gives an idea of this “catastrophic” emissions reduction shortfall:
The so-called ‘Paris gap’ is just a figment of the UN’s/BBC’s imagination. It gives the false impression that all those carbon reduction promises (known as INDCs: Intended Nationally Determined Contributions) made by the various signatory nations in Paris are going to make a difference.

Go President Trump!!!
The UN does what is good for the the U.N. and less for everyone else.
It’s also a figment of their imaginations that all countries are going to live up to their non-binding “commitments” under the Paris agreement.
Exactly!
We were just the slush fund to keep the idiots employed....
All those wealthy dictators have waterfront property that needs protecting...................
I could make my own chart, based on nothing more than my own imagination, and it would be as valid (and likely as accurate) as what is presented with this article.
"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history.
"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."
--Christiane Fugueres, Executive Secretary of UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change)
WOW! Confirmation of what we, and the rest of FR knew all along.
This is the declaration of those that support the Paris agreement and a list of all that signed:
Businesses & Investors
Cities & Counties
States & Tribes
Colleges & Universities
The Paris Accord was a wealth distribution scheme.
Money from American Taxpayers to everyone else. No wonder they squealed when President Trump said no.
Kmrk
The purpose of the scam is to transfer huge amounts of money to crooked politicians and their crooked friends.
Go Trump go!
Ping.
All that matters is has California reduced their emissions?
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Last time I googled it, the temperature of the Earth’s core is estimated to be about 6000°C or 10,800°F (about the same as the surface of the Sun).
Have any of the “geniuses” yet figured out that some of that heat might just migrate to the larger and cooler surface area to dissipate...
Ping.
Not a waste of space.
Waste of time and brainpower. Climate change will not be solved by throwing money at Paris.
