    I can see how news organizations around the world cover the US.

    You don't speak to the US shelling out as much as $100B/year to other countries and how other countries might actually want that money.

    It's goal is to limit the warming of the planet to 1.5 degrees by 2100 and reduce carbon emissions by power plants by 32% by 2030.

    Anyone that wants to do anything about emissions should try and get California's Fastrak toll road bullshit outlawed.

    I was just there in a sea thousands of cars while 2 near empty lanes sat waiting for people who had more money.

    My goal is to be a billionaire by next year and invent a time machine. This "largely symbolic" agreement does what you say how?

    I wont hold my breath.

    Is VOX a news source you normally read? I suggest the Wired and LA Times articles but as you can hopefully see there are many articles covering exactly what you're asking about.

    That's all I see against Trump - ad hominem attacks.

    I made none, just a fair observation.

    No, it's the first result from your Google link.

    I asked if you or anyone here knew one damn thing this did. Still waiting.

    I've literally started using Riverman's idea of reading people's posts in famous voices. Unfortunately most of them are Billy Bob in Sling Blade.

    Something common here and it bares little resemblance to do with anything close to science, earth geology or rising seas. Seems more like chastising people for failing to fallow the teaching in catechism.

    Wow, you and Denny are amazing. It's unbelievable how long you both can keep your heads buried in the sand without feeling the need to breathe......good luck with that.

    I live most of the time in the Palm Springs area. I cannot get any Solar company to install solar on my roof, even if I were willing to pay cash for it. They say it's a horrible deal without the electric company subsidizing most of the cost.

    Even with massive government subsidies:

    OK, so from what I have read about all of this, a summary of my understanding...

    This agreement has emission goals, that are set by each country, but you don't actually have to keep them. There is a financial commitment that the US will significantly fund, plus each participating country will contribute. IF each country keeps the goals they set, it is still debatable on how this will affect the temperature increase rate (I saw debatable because I have seen the numbers vary), but will definitely slow the rate.

    Can anyone verify if my summary is on the right track? I don't want opinions just if this is close to the facts.

    A repeat here seems appropriate.
