It's more a planetary thing. We've only got one and we all share it; what one country does affects the rest because we can't section off the atmosphere or the oceans. Setting goals and sharing some resources to clean up our act globally benefits us as an inhabitant of the planet.
 

What a great end to a rather downbeat week. For those of us in the free world it is great that the US is once again taking its place in the famil of nations.
Which changes nothing since we already meet all of its emissions standards.

But now liberals can go around gloating about it or something.

It destroys our economy, inflates prices, and sends private wealth out of this country. It lowers our standard of living. It is a globalist hoax.

Don't the freaking Brits have enough on their plate? The U.K. dropped out of the European Union but a liberal Brit celebrates the U.S. rejoining the Paris climate extortion plot.

Is that why France refuses to follow the Paris agreement?

You ever try to plan and organize a company picnic or party? You'll never get 100% consensus, but the show goes on while the grumblers grumble. For the past 4 years, we were a grumbler while most of the world tried to work toward a common goal. Now we're back, and I'm glad.

You are delusionally dreaming and know Jack-shit about Geo-Politics!

Good article, should you care to read it, on the current state of affairs. Good news and bad.
 
Carry on chewing crayons kids, the adults are in charge now.
Been a while since I looked it up, but last time I did, the US was exceeding the reductions mandated by Paris...and we didn't even belong to it.

Matter of fact, we're the only Western nation meeting or beating the mandated reductions.

Y'all need to get your shit together.
 
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's the "correct" temperature of the world, and how much will it cost?

It's not. It places a handicap of increased energy costs on the US while it allows other competing countries like China to continue to burn cheap fuels like coal! Tommy doesn't care about what's good for the US though...he'd be happy to see a return to the Obama "leading from behind" days!
So you want other countries to stick to an agreement that you ripped up ?
Were they complying with it?
