RE: US Now a Rogue State After Leaving Paris Agreement---Says Former UN Envoy
The Paris accord did the following:
1. Allowed grievous offenders such as China & India to completely skate on carbon reductions
2. Encouraged smaller countries to pollute in order to catch up to the US, China, and India
3. Made the US pay the bulk of funding
4. Opened the US up to constant lawsuits since we were a part of the accord and others didnt feel we were living up to our monetary requirements or carbon reductions
5. Allow larger corporations who moved manufacturing overseas, such as Apple & GE, to face reduced competition from US manufacturing companies, as the larger companies could pollute at will in China, and the US companies would be placed under severe restrictions.
That is the Paris accord. Climate change and carbon reductions be damned.
If you want REAL change in carbon reductions, then demand anyone who is pushing this garbage to release their carbon footprint every month. Then stay on THEIR ass about reducing their carbon footprint to that of the average american. You would be floored to know that the people pushing this garbage are the most egregious offenders on the planet.
For example, in one of the newly released Hillary emails, she demanded her own private jet to fly to a state funeral because she didnt want to ride in the other private jet with Michelle Obama. Hillary basically used up the equivalent of a single american citizen's average annual carbon footprint on a single trip because she didnt want to be in the same cabin as Michelle.
BUT MUH PARIS ACCORD!
yea, blow me.
