re: The Climate Melters Are Not Paying Attention

That agreement had China and India, two of the largest countries, running roughshod until 2030 while the US was being immediately strapped financially. Last time I checked, there is only one atmosphere. To have two countries who use the most pollutive means of energy production not only continue on their path but open even more plants while we hamstring ourselves is just a terrible deal for our country.

If this accord addresses such a dire and immediate need, countries who feel aggrieved that we aren't participating should perhaps look to create a more equitable deal for all parties involved. Just because the USA has the ability to foot the bill for something doesn't mean we should. There's a lot of freeloading countries out there that should understand that the time of free handouts is over.
