Looks like nobody in the last 50 posts has been able to explain why the Paris Climate agreement is good for American workers.

The best way to approach this problem is through international cooperation. Yes, we would like India and China to do more. Pulling out of the agreement does nothing to advance that goal.
1. You need to prove that global warming is man-made.
2. I would take global warming anytime than global cooling. Warm climate means more livable and farmable land and longer farming season.
3. If global warming is such a great threat, why the coastal restate market has not crashed?

3. Because Democrats are spending billions of dollars buying coastal real estate.

That tells you what they really believe.

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.
Not a Democrat, but I'll take a stab at this. American workers will be benefited by not being dead because the planet eventually vomits us up like the poison we've been to it over the last couple of centuries.

It's been my experience (and you know, this is open to interpretation of course) that being not dead really helps with the productivity.

As opposed to those people who got lost on their way to the MENSA meeting on 01/06?

If it's really that serious, and drastic things need to be done, why are we dicking around with this stupid agreement ? A few billion people need to be offed, shipping needs to be shut down, and the switch turned off on industry. Time to start living like the Amish. It would also cure the obesity problem in the world.
