    I’d rather talk about it than pick it up! Unfortunately, that’s not generally how it goes.....

    China was responsible for 28% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2017 - that’s more CO2 than all European, African, and Latin American countries combined.

    Sorry that you didn't retain anything from the class. Then again if your memory is that bad, you likely don't remember your grade in the class either.

    Yeah. And they weren't called upon to do anything immediately by the Paris Accords. Just that they "promised" to reduce carbon emissions to 20% of GDP by 2030- which, according to the Website "Climate Action Tracker" is "Highly Insufficient". In fact, the peak year for China's emissions isn't even supposed to be reached until "somewhere between 2020 and 2030" with the latest peak estimation coming in at 2025.

    See, that's great. The US has already been doing things that reduced our pollution for years and were gonna be slammed more by Paris. Meanwhile, the world just kinda pats China on the head and says, ahhhh, that's Ok. You just keep increasing pollutants for another 10 years (from 2015 when the Accords happened) and then "Try". China's latest "promised" modernization target date is 2035!!.

    What a freaking scam and Thank Gawd Trump pulled us out of that trash heap.

    Good thing humans don’t contribute to our climate or China’s pollution would be bad news! Mother Nature laughs in the face of China!

    The Paris Accord imposed no legal requirements on the US.
    We will not formally be out of the agreement until the day after the next presidential election in 2020.
    Much of China's problem stems from using coal as a power source.
    I thought using coal was part of MAGA?

    The world’s population nearly doubled in the past 50 years from 3.7 billion people to over 7 billion people. If over the next 50 years the population grows only 50% there will be nearly 11 billion people. More human waste, more trash, more carbon emissions, more pesticides running into drinking water and much more dense population resulting in more buildings, which retain more heat. For those of you who think all is well, may I suggest you write a letter to be opened by your loved ones 50 years from now letting them know what you think about the world today and how you felt everything was going to be just hunky-dory. Surely, they’ll appreciate your sentiments as they maneuver through a world changed by all the stuff in just mentioned.

    Global cooling is hurting the maple syrup industry. And oh, the NYT misrepresented a few key facts.
