I agree the US is a bit more oligarchic than other similar nations, but not sure what the Paris climate accord examples proves?

America was the main holdout, and it wasnt because they thought it wasn't effective enough, quite the opposite. So yes its pretty vital that we do at least that much.

It proves this...it was sold as a major accomplishment. It was sold as one of that POTUS' defining moments. And it wasn't any of that. The USA held it up. The USA made sure it had no teeth.

So the talk was "We're so great" the reality is that's BS.
