Calamities are often unpredictable, so don't expect a rock-solid forecast to come from science. What the data can tell us is the likely climate trend, as well as the historical record of past societies that have been impacted by climate change. What we also know is that it is in the self-interest of carbon-based industries to obfuscate the information and sow confusion over the issue.
According to what the scientists claim about the release of spirit, gases and carbon emissions, that it is a great evil that is destroying the planet. When I die and my spirit leaves, and my body decomposes and releases those gases, it would also suggest that they claim that as an evil departure that destroys the planet...Even cow flatulence doesn't escape their judgement, how would I...
...I notice that they assumed on themselves the right to give exemptions in the Paris Climate Accord. Assuming upon themselves the position of gate keepers. Trying to cover their behinds and separate themselves, from what their claims and positions entail.
I have to look past them.
P.S. I know my writings are elementary and difficult for the highly educated to understand.
Over the past few years the US has decreased emissions by about 17%.
In spite of, not because of the lack of federal response.
There are lot of industries in the US that take it seriously and realize that we have to cut carbon output.

Unfortunately, the global warming alarmists want to force more restrictions here in the US, where we already have strict regulations on pollution. But they seem oblivious to places like China, India, Southeast Asia, and Latin America where pollution is rampant and rain forests are being destroyed. They can’t pick on them because that would be xenophobic.
It’s all part of their hate America campaign. America bad, pollutes, must pay price. Meanwhile, advanced and non advanced countries pollute far more than we currently are, and as you said, this is ignored because of fear of being called xenophobic and also their hatred for America.
The Congress should finally be able to move forward on climate change action in the next session.
The era of denialism is over in America.
First, it was global cooling, the weather got warmer.
Next, it was global warming, the weather got cooler.
Finally, it is climate change. When weather get warmer, climate change. When weather get cooler, climate change.

Mostly the auto industry cutting both emission and gas mileage with mandates from the government which is the long run is good for the environment. Now when you fly into Los Angles you can actually see the ground. But fly into Beijing or New Delhi and you won't see the ground.
The first photo is New Delhi and the second is Beijing. I can vouch for both photos because I have been to both cities and seen first hand.

There were 197 countries to sign the Paris accord....The US was only one of those.
I don't see those other 196 countries pressing anyone to cut emissions. The fact is emission in the majority of those countries are increasing. A lot of hand ringing and bold but empty talk is all I hear.
Like I posted before with evidence the US paid a billion dollars before departing the Paris accord and the majority polluters of the world, China and India paid nothing.
The only reason those 196 countries are whining is because like other organizations they support but don't help pay the bill is the most money comes from the US. NATO or WHO ring a bell.
The greatest sin committed towards the earth in the last few decades was the first world letting China industrialize and rise to power.
It's amazingly arrogant and idiotic for Americans to think they can help the earth by punishing America, at this point in the game. The war is across the globe.

I was in Bejing for 4 days and my throat was really itchy by the time I got out. And it was only after rain on the 3rd day that I realized Bejing was ringed by mountains. I had no clue. Couldn't see them through the haze.

We also know that those scientist who are pro climate change, can also obfuscate the information and sow confusion over the issue.
Such as the "hockey stick" theory....
Oh, and lets not forget the Kyoto Protocol and how great that worked out....
