BBC provides this summary:
To keep global temperatures "well below" 2.0C (3.6F) and "endeavour to limit" them even more, to 1.5C
To limit the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by human activity to the same levels that trees, soil and oceans can absorb naturally, beginning at some point between 2050 and 2100
To review each country's contribution to cutting emissions every five years so they scale up to the challenge
For rich countries to help poorer nations by providing "climate finance" to adapt to climate change and switch to renewable energy.
It then gives a bit on what's in and what's been left out.
This “rich countries helping poorer nations” is what bothers me. Who the hell is supposed to monitor – and oversee – this? The UN? Are we after a One World Government kick again? The pinnacle of Obama's agenda.

Paris Climate Change Accord is a bureaucratic boondoggle
And while they hail this “historic accord”, they ignore the reality of what it is going to bring about – another massive bureaucracy filled with nameless, faceless people living off the public trough with no accountability to anybody. And even the “godfather of climate science” is ripping the deal apart.
“It’s a fraud really, a fake,” he says, rubbing his head. “It’s just bullshit for them to say: ‘We’ll have a 2C warming target and then try to do a little better every five years.’ It’s just worthless words. There is no action, just promises. As long as fossil fuels appear to be the cheapest fuels out there, they will be continued to be burned.”
In other words, it's about nothing but – wealth distribution!

What Happens Now That Politicians Have Signed “Historic” Climate Pact?
One of the best questions I've come across this morning!
And, the answer is – practically nothing! It really doesn't do anything about the climate. It isn't even enforceable and nations can easily back out of it. (Sounds like some other “agreements” the US has entered into recently)

Islanders in Chesapeake Bay face exile from rising seas
One has to shake one's head at headlines like this. One would believe these poor people are in dire straits and need to abandon their homes this very minute as the waters surge over their island.
...in 50 years.
Once again, one has to go beyond the headlines to find the truth. Just how political is all this “Climate Change” hooplah? Well, further reading also provides this:
Tangier's threatened existence is not news to islanders, who have seen their island and others nearby retreat through the decades. Uppards Island was abandoned nearly a century ago, but the skeletal remains of those who once lived there are occasionally coughed up during storms, such as Hurricane Sandy.
