True that Purple. Have any of you actually seen the formula to see if you are abiding by the agreement. its your increase/decrease of parts per million pollution divided by your GDP increase/decrease. So if you are a developing country with a small GDP which can grow (on a percentage basis) easily, you can actually increase your pollution and still be a winner in the Paris accord.

Take china, their pollution increased last year, but their economy grew at a faster rate, so they are in compliance. Yet their pollution increase actually OFFSET THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WESTERN WORLD'S DECREASES AND CAUSED OVERALL WORLD POLLUTION TO INCREASE. Does that sound like common sense to any person???

Yet, to your point, NO ONE calls out chini or India on this farce.
