Smarkil 11/10/17 12:02:43 AM #2:	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. --- "We're not even close" - Romans building Rome at the end of Day 1 <cite>Smarkil posted [p:890106649] in US is now ...

Yellow 11/10/17 12:48:31 AM #5:	On a per capita basis the US has donated a relatively measly amount. Don't worry though, we will now be doing nothing. Among the latest projects: development of irrigation and groundwater replenishment systems in northeastern India, where climate change has made monsoon rains less reliable; a hydropower plant in the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific to eliminate diesel generators; and restoration and protection of Ugandan wetlands that are used by subsistence farmers.

Zeus 11/10/17 1:53:48 AM #15:	Not sure what you're going for. Would you rather have us claim to follow it and then clearly violate it like many of the other countries -- especially China -- do?

Every country in it makes their own goals, and there's no mechanism in place to force countries to do anything. The US wouldn't have to give anyone any money for it. It's an almost symbolic agreement where countries are just saying "We'll do what we can to fight climate change".
