Why do you think this is about science and it not being a terrible agreement?

We don't need to dump our money into other countries to combat climate changes. We're already one of the largest contributors to emissions, so why would we not just use our own money to fix our own problems?

Who are the three biggest contributors to emissions?

China
US
India

Who pledged more than double the contributions to the agreement than anyone?

The US.

Who is completely absent from the contributions list?

China
India

So basically China and India are in the climate agreement, but have refused to pay a dime for it. I would rather we take the billions from the agreement and put it toward fixing the emissions problems in this country. If Germany, France, the UK, etc. want to give their money to China and India - fine.
