We supposedly can't leave until 2020, but who would enforce that?

There is also the option of staying, but reporting our carbon emissions with alternative facts. Done to an extreme, that means we get the payments.

What you describe is what everyone is doing anyways. My country, Canada, is "in" the agreement but mere weeks after signing approved a controversial liquid natural gas project in B.C. that just by itself would blow away our ability to meet the Paris agreement commitments completely.
