A number of years ago, when the controversy was brewing, I sat down and read the Paris agreement. The thing is a joke. It will do nothing for anyone other than shift billions of dollars into a number of nations for doing nothing. We already know some nations used the money to buy fleets of cars and airplanes, which is the very definition of irony.

The problem with a lot of these things is that everyone forms an opinion without investing any time reading the material (like the agreement) and doing even the most basic math to verify claims. And yet everyone knows we can "save the planet", it would be funny if it weren't so serious.
