Morons think so.......

Get back to us when China and India meet the carbon emission targets the rest of the developed world has to, under that idiotic non-treaty.

Sub-moron.

Paris is an even weaker "treaty" than Kyoto which was a miserable failure.

Setting aside the perspective of the U.S. for the moment, I would first like to address the pitfalls of the Paris Agreement for achieving its stated aims:

• The Paris Agreement limit won’t protect all countries and locations from the strong negative impacts of climate change. For vulnerable climates close to deserts, such as the Sahel region of Africa, the climate targets don’t go far enough to protect the people living there.
• Countries have so far only voluntarily made pledges (nationally declared contributions) to keep the atmospheric temperature below 2.7-3.0 degrees Celsius, which won’t get us anywhere close to the 1.5 degree Celsius “comfort zone.”
• Rivalries and diplomatic tension makes the “balance of inequalities” portion of the Paris Agreement particularly hard to implement. For instance, the U.S. agreed to voluntarily pay $3 billion dollars under the commitments made by President Obama.
• Efforts to measure, track and monitor GHGs lack standardization and may not live up to the agreement’s stated aim of transparency.
• Not to be understated, the fossil fuel industry and its friends (gas-powered automobiles, fossil-fuel powered utilities, etc.) will likely face consequences as fossil fuels get phased out. However, it’s important to note that this transition doesn’t just result from the Paris Agreement. The price of renewable energy has dropped below the price of fossil fuels, giving developers an incentive to invest in renewable energy projects.

In short, the Paris Agreement might look like a bad deal to some, but it represents significant progress on getting the world to agree to take climate action.

What targets would go far enough? Be specific.

But you are leaving out the most important aspect of the Paris Accord....at least to the Democrats.....

......it harms America and Americans.

I am sure you will find the answer here....it's quite lengthy but it explains in detail. Mostly has to do with China.

The withdrawal undermines the universality of the Paris Agreement and impairs states' confidence in climate cooperation;

Darn it, if we only had more "states' confidence", those vulnerable climates could be made safe.

Sure what a load of horse shit. Climate change is the biggest hoax in the world.
A waste of our hard earned tax dollars you idiot.

Find a way to control the Sun and the Moon and then you can affect the climate. Anything else is a money maker for someone. Hell Al Gore laughed his way to the bank with his Climate Change gig.

A useless organization that Biden has committed US tax dollars towards. Mans as big a jack ass as you are. Dumbass.

The deal was worthless the way it was written up because it allows China and India to continue with high emission levels. It allows them to let their industries to boom while we cut our own.
Trump was 100 % to pull out of the deal. If that type of a deal is to be made it needs to affect everyone equally. Why do you have a problem with that?

You dont have to agree to a stupid deal to be a member of the FAMILY OF NATIONS. we have paid our dues many times over

It is about money isnt it? it will cost billions more in research funds for these idiots to determine if its getting hot or cold, but it's greatly a jobs program and a way for certain people to enrich themselves

Since America is the only nation that exceeds the agreement (under Trump of course) what does that mean?

It probably means these other countries could really give a shit about carbon emissions if its going to hurt their nation, but they all badly want the U.S. to be brought down a few notches and lose our competitiveness. So for us, the paris accord is a good thing, because we will be the dummies that actually try to stand by what we sign.
