I've found it particularly entertaining that many seem to be cozying up to China. CNN went
so far to publish a story titled "Has Donald Trump Given the World to China on a Silver
Platter?" China being the country that has added more soft coal burning capacity than the
rest of the world combined during the past decade. U.S. per capita emissions have been collapsing since shale kicked in (guess that is why the Greens hate the US, go figure); China's have tripled since 1990. It's unclear what Trump's withdrawal from the Paris accords will have on climate change, because it's unclear what a non-binding agreement like Paris could do in the first place. My fear is that the Paris accord is just smoke and mirrors and huge back scratching/money collecting by the world's ruling elites. Non binding means that no country will take its goals seriously. There is a problem of warming and the Paris accord simply does not address the problem, spending billions for no real drop in temp.
