Re: Shady #36905
You realize your conspiracy theories are just a lazy way to avoid actually thinking about reality, right? You just label what you don't like or don't understand as 'global corporatist'.

And then you conflate that shit with unrelated matters and presto, 'word-salad' grievance nurturing stream of semi-conscious bat-shit.

I can play that game. Where are Trump's tax returns? LOL!


Quote:
Why there isn’t a “better deal”

https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/20...imate-deal

Trump says the Paris deal unfairly puts constraints on the United States coal industry, and unfairly allows some countries to continuing to pollute at a greater rate than others. He also complained that it was a threat to our sovereignty. “Believe me, we have massive legal liability if we stay in,” Trump says.

But as Vox’s Dave Roberts has written, these arguments don’t make any sense. Namely: The Paris treaty was voluntary. How much of a better deal can you get than “nonbinding”?

“It imposes absolutely no practical or legal constraint on [Trump’s] actions — not on trade policy, not on domestic energy policy, nothing,” Roberts writes. “That means all talk of Paris being a ‘bad deal’ for the US, or hurting US trade, or affecting the US coal industry in any way, is nonsense.”

It’s also the case that Trump has just made a vastly unpopular decision. According to the Yale program on climate change communication, majorities in every US state support the US participating in the Paris agreement. A total of 69 percent of Americans say we should stay in the agreement.


What happens next?

There’s a lengthy four-year process for exiting the agreement. As Brad Plumer wrote for Vox, the thing to look for now is how other world leaders react:


Of course, no one knows for sure what will happen. It’s possible that a US withdrawal could have a galvanizing effect on the rest of the world, and other governments would redouble their efforts to promote clean energy and curb emissions. Most nations still have a vested interest in avoiding drastic temperature increases. But there’s a real risk that momentum for stronger action would be blunted.

There’s also the prospect that the US could face serious diplomatic repercussions for leaving. Europe, China, and other countries could threaten to withhold cooperation on other issues the US cares about. In the most extreme scenario, other countries could threaten to impose carbon tariffs on the US, sparking a trade war. In 2020, delegates are supposed to reconvene and provide updates about their emission pledges, and report on how they’re becoming more aggressive on accomplishing the 2 degree goal.
