It is, but its not an economic one as trump suggests. He actually claimed that when the people were celebrating the original signing of the agreement, that they were actually laughing at america and how much the rest of the world was screwing the US over. Its just weird. Its like he thinks none of us have a tv or the internet to fact check things he says.
Trump doesn't understand it, it's as simple as that. He claims that China can make as many coal plants as they want but America isn't allowed to which is false. Worse than that China have actually cancelled building over 100 coal plants in their goal of spearheading renewables.
It's all in trumps head, or he's been told to do it by the kock brothers and their ilk. Unfortunately far too many people refuse to see the truth because they don't want to admit they got it wrong. Funny thing is Clinton wouldn't have been any better. She would just have been more of the same but at least she wouldn't be pissing off the rest of the world and sucking up to Russia at every turn. I don't blame anyone for wanting change, but I think it's pretty clear at this point trump isn't that change they wanted.
Actually I tell a lie there is one penalty for missing targets. The country that misses is targets is shamed. That's it. The rest of world gives the country that misses its target a disapproving look and shakes its head.
yup, the last of the last of the summer wine guys. rip.
It was never like that. It was all government level stuff. In fact most of the companies in America are urging trump not to pull out. They are mostly in support of going green. Intel, Microsoft etc etc are all disappointed in trumps actions. These are big companies that are for the green agreement.
As for the little guy, no, no one would be forcing anything on them. It would all just trickle down. If trump really wanted to look after the little guy, he'd be offering massive government subsidies to get the ball rolling or renewables. The more money available the faster the uptake, the faster the uptake the lower the prices become. That all filters down to the people. More jobs, less cost and a lot less pissy Wars in the Middle East. No more relying on foreign oil, no more problems in energy at all. The sun isn't going anywhere, the wind won't ever stop, and the water will keep flowing.
As it stands China is doing all of this. So in 20 years they'll be selling energy to the us. They'll have the big companies in place to corner the market, and set the prices. The time is now. But trump only thinks in the now, not years from now. And it's the American people that are gonna pay for it. Him and his rich buddies will be racking it in.
It's that and a lot of propaganda. The American people are led to be
I've they are the best in the world at everything. It's unfortunately not true, but if you dare say that you are labelled anti American, a communist, socialist, traitor etc etc.
Oh god, you are that fucking stupid. A volcano, is part of the eco system. Your hundreds of fucking coal power plants are not.
Thats also not taking into account that fact that youre full of shit. Volcanos put at the most 319million tons of co2 per year, compared to the 29 billion estimated tons by humans per year. All these facts are easily found outside of your rightwing oil based echo chamber. And god isnt going to help you.
Carbon footprints in kilotons has the usa at just under 8million. China is just over 5million and india is almost 2 million. The problem with the usa is that its so vast and has such different types of land and populous. So you can look out your window in wisconsion and see clear skys, but look at your window in LA and choke to death in seconds.
Yes, it was a good idea. But no one is forcing america to do it. There are no penalties if america doesntdo it. The paris agreement has no gun pointed at americas head. Trump paints the picture that paris is forcing america to do things, which is not true. America looked at itself and made the call where it could lower carbon output. So when you say paris is a raw deal, its not true. Its something that moron has said who clearly has no clue what the paris agreement is about.
The paris agreement was signed by Israel and Palestine. Let that sink in for a moment. Israel and Palestine AGREE that the the paris agreement is a good idea. Even north korea thinks its a good idea ffs. Trump has walked away from the first thing ever that humanity has come together for. The whole world, except trumps america. Think about that. Think about if you really want to be that isolationist.
Jesus fucking christ, you cant be that dumb, can you? Its not carbon thats the problem, its the amount of carbon thats the problem. The earth filters carbon over a hundred years or so. It a has a fine eco system that means it can take x amount. We are adding to that number and throwing off the balance.
Do you know why you shouldnt take more than 2 paracetamol/acetaminophen tablets in 4 hours? Its because the body only produces enough enzymes to turn the toxic parts into non toxic in that time frame. If you add more you risk damaging the liver and other organs. Theres a balance to everything. Why fuck with it?
Taking into account economics, the U.S. ranks 10th highest in carbon pollution per gross domestic product behind China, India, Russia, Estonia, Poland, South Korea, the Czech Republic, Mexico and Turkey, according to the International Energy Agency . The U.S. spews almost five times more carbon dioxide per dollar in the economy than Sweden.
Because carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for more than a century, scientists and regulators say it's more important to look at historical emissions. Since 1870, the U.S. has produced about one-quarter of the world's carbon dioxide(twice as much as China) and that makes it the biggest polluter in the world by far. Carbon emissions are the only measurements that matter. Clean air free or soot and other shit, yeah, the USA is great. But air born particles are not what's causing global warming.
