IRT Metzger: I'm just not tracking your train of thought.  In your first paragraph you highlight what you see as benefits of the Paris climate change agreement.  Specious points but not to be discussed in my comment.  Then you say The president prefers to strike a deal which in your mind benefits the rich.  Where did that "deal" come from? What deal are you talking about?  Finally you conclude with "compassion or deals" ostensibly equating Paris agreement to compassion and implying that these unspecified deals as pejorative. Well, I read your letter as just another cheap shot, no substance or thought, at the president AND a chance to link him to those greedy rich folk.  I just needed to comment.  Disregard if you see it differently.
