Thank you for posting this. I have often wondered what all of the Trillions of dollars collected, supposedly from other world nations as well as America, would be used for. It seems to me that if countries are polluting then those countries should be told to stop polluting for the good of us all. No money needed, just stop what you are doing. Of course Liberals demand large amounts of money just to grease the pockets of us, er, ahh, well you know, other Liberals. This is called the Chicago method of politics.

I think not so much, Thank you Obama but more of, Thank you President Trump.

Daniel Scott (born November 17, 1963) is an American novelist and short story writer best known for his discussions of marginalized characters of American society.[1] He has also been cited as an "almost post-gay"[2] writer in that he sometimes employs gay characters

Deniers, for the most part, are computer literate Luddites. Industry, Capitalism, and technology will see fossil fuel non-competitive in the near future. It's happening now. Many remote third world communities are skipping fossil altogether and going straight to cheaper alternative energy production.

"4 things to know about the Paris climate agreement"

2) It’s voluntary
To accomplish this 2-degree goal, the accord states that countries should strive to reach peak emissions “as soon as possible." (Currently, we’re on track to hit peak emissions around 2030 or later, which will likely be too late.)

But the agreement doesn’t detail exactly how these countries should do so. Instead it provides a framework for getting momentum going on greenhouse gas reduction, with some oversight and accountability. For the US, the pledge involves 26 to 28 percent reductions by 2025. (Under Trump’s current policies, that goal is impossible.)

195 countries have agreed to it. But there’s also no defined punishment for breaking it. The idea is to create a culture of accountability (and maybe some peer pressure) to get countries to step up their climate game.

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.

I for one, would like to see some references to support Mr. Daniel’s contentions, especially #1 (China is number 1, but The US is #2, European Union is #3, and India is #4); #2 (what data or reference supports the 2.5 Trillion $ number?), etc., etc.

I suspect that few if any have actually read or understand the accord in its entirety (I have tried and read opinions and Wiki, but it is very complex), so without some actual references (and considering that at least statement number one is inaccurate), I would consider this an opinion piece rather than fact.

Do you have a point? Are you anti gay? Because he writes short stories does that mean he is not capable of writing truthful essays?

Don’t be shy. Speak up.

An erupting volcano puts more CO in the atmosphere than all the cars world-wide. And Al Gore's famous graph is not linear; it is piece-wise and deceptive.

Not according to NOAA, who has access to the most authoritative climate data in the country: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/climate-qa/which-emits-more-carbon-dioxide-volcanoes-or-human-activities

According to NOAA, volcanos produce ~ 0.3 billion tons of CO2 annually, while humans contribute ~40 billion tons, or more than 90x as much. And of that, cars and trucks produce 22% or ~9 Billion tons annually (power and heat generation accounts for 41% and industrial production 20%)

Need more fact checking here.

According to a Danish study, the average cow produces enough methane per year to do the same greenhouse damage as four tons of carbon dioxide.Apr 11, 2014

At least you have shown us you do have a minor amount of writing skill. Congratulations. Trust me I say this only by grading on a huge grade curve. This was based upon my being able to somewhat use the WAG system to come up with your supposed meaning.

Always a pleasure to shovel Dirt,
