Economists have estimated quite a large cost to every American family if the things in the Paris Climate agreement come to fruition. Yet, here we have Biden, a member of the party that is supposedly for the average American family joining an agreement that will burden every family higher costs across the board for energy and goods such as food and clothing.
Meanwhile, the US pays so other countries can do whatever they want on the backs of the American taxpayer.
Democrats - why do you back Biden on this? What good is going to come from this bit of globalism? Please be specific in which ways this benefits the American worker.
Well, does the American worker wish to breathe? I think so. Does the American worker wish to eat? Again, I think so.
The US led the world reducing carbon emissions in 2019. We don't need the Paris climate accord. The free market works here. The Paris accord is ineffective in certain countries, obviously. Why would we'r want to be in a failed agreement?
Because it's only a commitment to work towards better environmental standards and leaves it up to each nation as to how they achieve this.
No mechanism forces a country to set a specific emissions target by a specific date, and this allows nations to decide targets for themselves.
The Paris Climate Accord does not force the US is to anything other than trying to reduce emissions and to try to tackle environmental problems.
Other countries are currently doing far more than the US, and they are not complaining.
Biden and the Dems are doing the right thing by rejoining the Paris Accord, and in terms of the environment.
The US needs to take a leading role in alliances and reestablish itself as a global leader.
Preserving the environment is definitely an important thing. Although, what does it have to do with being a part of this big circle jerk where each country sets it's own goals and we may or may not have to pay into it ?
Commitments, pledges, etc.... sounds like HR / Management gibberish.
Not being a part of this agreement does not hinder our country from trying to improve the environment.
Well, does the American worker wish to breathe? I think so. Does the American worker wish to eat? Again, I think so.
I’m not necessarily against your claims (although I’m not sure how much man has to do with it). But the Paris climate accord is doing nothing but taking our tax dollars. It seems like that is really hard for some people to grasp. It’s a joke of an agreement. It is non binding at all. China , the worlds largest politer of greenhouse gasses gives nothing to it and nothing is done about it.
