I was thinking the same thing. Did some quick math. A Gulfstream V uses 375 gallons of jet fuel per hour of flight time; Los Angels to Rome is about 14 hours; that's 5250 gallons each way per plane. Now I know they are not all flying that far, but some are flying larger jets that burn more fuel. I drive about 30,000 miles per year, get about
25mph or so, that's only 1200 gallons of fuel per year. Wife drives half that and gets better millage, so lets just say 1800 for the family. And a certain element of society follows these people like lemmings to the sea.

Complete lie. Before we withdrew they were on pace to reach the targets set out in the treaty well ahead of the timeframe agreed upon:

Okay so we should just do nothing? What sort of enforcement mechanism can you impose on a sovereign state?

Never implied that.

I would prefer that it be more free market based like tax incentives, or something similar, for meeting certain emission levels.

This is a goal.

China committed to peak its carbon emissions around 2030
The French must have "negotiated" that. So we were in fact paying the Chinese billions, and they were allowed under the agreement (not treaty) to increase emissions for more than a decade. Thank God we got out of that agreement.
The Chinese government should love climate change, and never want it to go away as an issue. They get paid, and their competitors cripple their industries. It's an economic wet dream for them.
Again, sell it elsewhere. I don't care if it's China, but this country has paid more than its fair share.

More than 1% of people care about climate change, and of those people way more than 1% of their opinions are influenced by these clowns flying to Sicily.
You may not want to admit that but it’s true.
In fact, if it weren’t for the hyperbole and hypocrisy surrounding the issue we may be able to have an actual conversation about it. But, the dramatic elitists in our society are the ones beating the drum, so the conversation will stay with one side announcing our impending doom while the other side calls bullshite and never actually move closer to the middle.

you are completely out of your depth. Making this kind of change to a country the size of China, in the industrial stage they are in now, is a massive endeavor that takes years and years to effectively address. You can’t just snap your fingers and magically their emissions drop, at least not any kind of a reasonable plan that a sovereign nation would ever agree to.Posted on 7/31/19 at 1:18 pm to Draconian Sanctions

Thankfully, we don't have to find out. It shouldn't be our business to pay China to do anything. Ever.

Skype conferences release too much CO2, so they must take planes

I'm sure these solons of ecological policy would approve of a 100% federal tax on movies, music and other entertainment arts to fund cleaner emissions so that they "pay their fair share." After all, the Earth is in such critical shape I'm certain they'll pitch in without a peep.
