If President Trump were to submit the odious Paris Climate Accord to the Senate after January 3 (i.e., the new Senate), it could quickly be rejected, regardless of how the Georgia special elections turn out. Treaties, you see, must be ratified by 2/3 of the Senate.
This would effectively prevent Biden from illegally and unconstitutionally "re-entering" the agreement by Executive Order, having affirmed that it is a "treaty" and thus subject to Senate ratification.
But does Trump still give a shit?

Recent history has shown that the U.S. will exceed the goals proposed for itself and other major "CO2 polluters" simply by marshaling natural market forces, while China and India continue building new coal-fired power plants, and three Billion humans continue to cook their food on cook stoves fueled by wood, animal dung, peat, charcoal, and other carbon-based fuels.
As every relevant study has already concluded, either directly or implicitly, nothing done in the United States today will have even the slightest affect on the climate one hundred years out.
