WASHINGTON — Then there was one.
Syria announced during United Nations climate talks on Tuesday that it would sign the Paris agreement on climate change. The move, which comes on the heels of Nicaragua signing the accord last month, will leave the United States as the only country that has rejected the global pact.
According to several people who were in a plenary session at the climate talks in Bonn, Germany, a Syrian delegate announced that the country was poised to send its ratification of the Paris agreement to the United Nations.
“This is the very last country that actually announced, so everyone has joined and the U.S. is now so isolated,” said Safa Al Jayoussi, executive director of IndyAct, an environmental organization based in Lebanon that works with Arab countries on climate change.
A White House spokeswoman, Kelly Love, pointed reporters to a statement the administration made when Nicaragua joined the pact, noting there had been no change in the United States’ position.

Syria won’t be able to cut carbon emissions until the rubble stops smoldering.
Its a treaty. Submit to the Senate for ratification.
This is a treaty. Obama scr**** us. Gave them plenty of money already.
I’m so overjoyed that Trump got us off the stupid is as stupid does train! Imagine that, an entire world afraid to fart!
168 wolves and one big sheep voting on what’s for supper.
So, you have to ask, are they doing this because it’s the reasonable thing to do? Or, are they doing it to gain a point of commonality with the rest of the world? Has anti-Trumpism become the one point of agreement bringing the rest of the world together? I suspect that’s the answer.
You know what? I think Trump can take them all on and win. They may see themselves as a pack of wolves taking down a lone lion. I see them as a gaggle of geese attacking an elephant.
This is what is known as “American Exceptionalism.”
Yea, the guy being forced to pick up the Tab for the Meal is opposed. LOL
Is Syria adopting the ridiculous CA Emissions standards too?
How many Electric Cars are in Syria? How many Windmill Farms?
The reason you have to dial 1 to reach the United States is not because we’re followers. Let them stand on their heads and pretend to save the planet. We’ve got the most advanced economy in the world to power.
NYT trying to shame us...
WHO CARES
The difference between leading and following.
Fine, let them all sign. If they want to cut their own economy’s throats - let them.
But they won’t.
Just more virtue signaling from scum sucking leftists - and the islamists that want to encourage them in their destruction of the West.
Well that tears it. If Syria is in we have no choice but to join it ourselves. No, after thinking about it who give a good shitte what Syria does.
Just the way we like it. Its called leadership. The entire accord was designed with one goal in mind, loot the USA and cripple her manufacturing and economy while the rest of the world enjoys the spoils. I recon they didn't see Trump coming to screw up their plans.
If climate change is real wont we see it decreasing with every country but USA? Why worry about one country if it’s real? Huh? Answer that liberals.
If I lived in Syria, I’d be concerned about climate change as well. But not that which is caused by Mother Nature....
Just take a look at what the many signers of the accord expect - millions of dollars for "studies", "Institutional Development", a "a Project Management Unit (PMU)" and of course, a "donor".
Here is Somalia's "contribution" to the Paris Accord. Their "contribution" will be to take millions of dollars of other people's money.
Syria and Nicaragua haven't gotten around to submitting their plans for "contributions" yet.
