What is the purpose of the Paris Deal if there is no punishment for countries that fail to meet the emissions targets? What scientific grounds is there to believe this will prevent climate change?
What does developed countries giving 100 billion annually to a fund that gets distributed to "developing" countries like china, india and north korea with no accountability have to do with stopping climate change?
Why is everyone acting like the paris deal is the magical solution to fix the climate, and questioning the logistics of this deal make you a climate denier?
>b-but PCA has the word "Climate" in it so it must be good!!11!
Zachary Campbell
The purpose is obviously not to take away your money under the guise of doing something that sounds useful and important.
Austin Morales
Yes, but these "developing countries" are accepting funds while doing hardly anything to combat their emissions (china), not to mention that in some cases these countries are to some respect richer than those who are distributing the funds
Luke Butler
It is just a redistribution of US wealth to shit countries. They don't care about the climate change or else they would be willing to renegotiate the deal in order to get more countries on.
Caleb Murphy
Stop being so bigoted the environment is at stake.
Nathan Ross
YOU CAN'T WITHDRAW, PRESIDENT OBAMA ALREADY AGREED. SCIENCE SAYS YOU HAVE TO GIBS MONEY TO NIGGERS. DO YOU THINK WE LIKE GIBS MONEY TO NIGGERS? THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED. YOU WILL REGRET THIS.

Does anyone understand anything anymore? They developing nations agreed to develop with minimal use of fossil fuels and the agreement was that they would get paid for it. They don't hold up their end of the deal, they don't get paid.
Chase Sanchez
>Does anyone understand anything anymore? They understand perfectly. Ideology is more important than facts though.
Ian Davis
The US pays $100 billion a year to China as part of the agreement. China immediately reinvests that money in it's oil, natural gas, and coal industry. The Paris Agreement isn't just a shitty deal, it's bad climate policy because none of the countries receiving """"aid"""" do anything with it except put it right into their petroleum and coal industries.
Trump tried to renegotiate; either cut out China, or put restrictions on what can be done with the money. Macron and friends said no, so Trump said "okay, only Congress can ratify treaties anyways, we will no longer be paying".
Trump did EXACTLY what he said he would do, is Macron really that fucking stupid? We all know Merkel and Juncker are.
Sebastian Reed
>The US pays $100 billion a year to China as part of the agreement Wrong. >China immediately reinvests that money in it's oil, natural gas, and coal industry Wrong. They have already started some of the largest investments into renewables. >none of the countries receiving """"aid"""" do anything with it except put it right into their petroleum and coal industries. Then they stop getting money. The whole point is to create financial incentive.
Jeremiah Taylor
>mfw rich countries are made to literally pay reparation money for their fossil fuel privilege
Fucking great. Lets get white people used to paying reparations because there is a lot of shit white people have to pay for.
Michael Rogers
The whole Paris climate bullshit is a scheme to stop developing countries from having their own industrial revolution even though that's what the Western world did while Ottoman caliphate were the world leaders back then. The jews want complete control of development in the third world. They want third world populations to use redistributed US taxpayer money to buy from the monopolies they create in those countries.
Prove me wrong.
Landon Walker
Proving you wrong is impossible it is a well known fact Jews run the world and Whites are superior
Julian Lewis
>The US pays $100 billion a year to China as part of the agreement. You have to lie to make an argument.
Be a man and admit you were stupid when you shilled for Trump. There's no defending him anymore and after the Comey thing he should be impeached.
Nathaniel Davis
>tfw you btfo every other color of people and then they ask you to pay them for it Yeah i dont think it works like that bud
Levi White
But it will~
Liam Powell
how are you gonna punish countries? go to war with them? sanction then? Nobody would sign such a treaty.
A voulentarily agreement was the best that was politically possible at current time
Not only do the countries publicly vow to reduce CO2 emissions, we also created the political infrastructure for facing the climate challenge on a global level
Kevin Rogers
china invests more in green energy than any other country
Robert Wilson
>to get more countries on. other than Syra and Nicaragua, all countries signed the Paris agreement
Samuel Baker
wtf I hate Trump now
Ian Miller
No it doesn't.
Jeremiah Cooper
It literally does now when the future lies in green energy.
Jack Ortiz
So why all the giving money to china and north korea with no strings attached?
Robert Baker
In order to get america on again, then
Elijah Foster
Well nobody is guaranteeing the money with no strings attached. But lots of poor developing countries will not transition unless they receive aid to do that. In terms of fairness, since some countries have had higher historic contribution and are more robust economies, they each provide some of that aid. That being said, China invested 2.5× more than the US in installing renewable energy infrastructure last year. The per-capita amount is of course far greater. And they're still a developing country that only industrialized this century. Western countries are not getting a raw deal as some imagine. And either way we're talking about a serious risk of future planetary economic and ecological disaster; that's in the best interest of everyone to avoid by any means. This is a litmus test of human civilization's ability to mobilize against a global threat.
Ryan Morales
>Trump tried to renegotiate Regotiate what? The physics of the greenhouse effect? The Paris agreement was non-binding for the US since it can't pass our legislature, and Trump already scrapped the clean power plan which was supposed to be our enforcement regime. What is he renegotiating? A greater reduction in temperature increase targets? Does he think the current targets are too ambitious for the world?
Brayden Carter
why don't we simply donate them green tech and infrastructure? throwing money at something is not a solution. do we even know if their scientists can make good with that money?
Adam Evans
>why don't we simply donate them green tech and infrastructure?
Christopher Walker
A parasite manages to take control of its host's body. Does this mean the parasite is superior to he host?
Samuel Garcia
Most likely the amount of money america is meant to give each year To trump it probably looked like an easy 100 billion per year to get back
Jeremiah Campbell
All that green tech they have it already you fool, most of the worlds solar panels and wind turbines come out of china. They would rather just burn coal to make them and sell the green tech back to us than use it themselves.
William Hughes
Stop taking the planet hostage with your disgusting beliefs. Trump had the balls to say fuck it, and he was right to do so, the fact that renegotiation is unconcievable prove that it was never about the environment.
Liam Wright
You know the feminist shit , immigration quota, affirmative actions on the FIRST FUCKING PAGE.
Dylan Ramirez
the feminist shit is how you reduce birth rates there is no affirm. action on the first page nor are there quotas it just says ensure rights for people
in the case of china, india and many other countries all of this is extremely relevant
Isaiah Bailey
China considers certain coal plants a form of green energy
