The Paris Accord hardly does anything. Temperature is still supposed to rise 2 degrees or more by the end of the century. Really, if this is world-changing stuff, why aren't you guys demanding electricity by non-fossil means, and a limit to number of cars per household, or something like that?

Okay, then the answer is stricter regulation and tougher agreements. Right? So that it does "enough"?
People -are- demanding alternative energy and clean cars or more public transport to reduce the number of cars.....Alpha..............that's what you and your boy are actively obstructing. In fact, the world.. is demanding it ( you know..minus us and syria......). That's what the Paris Accord was. How could you have possibly not known the target of your own protestations?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

And it wasn't much. http://news.mit.edu/2016/how-much-differ...-make-0422 Quote:Assuming a climate system response to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions that’s of median strength, the three scenarios reduce the SAT in 2100 between 0.6 and 1.1 C relative to the “no climate policy” case. But because the climate system takes many years to respond to emissions reductions, in 2050 the SAT falls by only about 0.1 C in all three cases. Meanwhile, the rise in SAT since preindustrial times exceeds 2 C in 2053, and in 2100, reaches between 2.7 and 3.6 C — far exceeding the 2 C goal.So, apparently you guys don't think the world will come to an end with a rise between 2.7 and 3.6 degrees, or you'd be demanding a lot more. Or, the Paris accords were mostly intended to make you think that something serious was being done, and you didn't care to really look into it.

Are you guys really OK with that, or don't you really believe it? RE: Earth to Trump -- Fuck You!!

Oh stop, alpha...ofc we aren't. That's explicit in the fact that we were -for- whatever reduction the agreements could have afforded us, especially in light of a bunch of dolts in government who didn't think it was happening at all..or who knew it was....but action against it would be against their own private interests.
But that's not at issue, none of this is an issue, for you...you're just trying to talk your way through a rough patch. Unless we've misread you, and the president, and you both think that we should team up with nicaragua to make an even more expansive agreement. Care to clear that up?

It is expected of you to be a cherry picker.

That you're not makes me question whether you really believe the forecasts. RE: Earth to Trump -- Fuck You!!

Do you have any idea what I'm doing? Why, no, no you don't.
You could have though, I've never been shy about posting it. Alternative ag, sustainable aquaculture, IPM. I'm all in. I don't have a dime left to put into it...until i sell a house on the water...in FL. I moved to elevation, and northward...to grow "southern" crops for a niche market. I do think that we aren't doing enough....you know who else thinks we aren't doing enough? Pretty much every-motherfucking body in this country who doesn;t think that climate change is a chinese hoax. That's the whole point of having those agreements in the first damned place. ....................................? I mean here you are, complaining about them because they don't do enough...as if that's a problem for you...and then, that?
