Not so much the world is out to get us, I was trying to say that the Paris Agreement was not effective at reducing the effects of man made global warming and the cost of being ineffective was insanely high.

 

The cost insanely high? Nah, the US can afford it - just up their 20 trillion debt a bit more...

In SF, John Kerry drums up the ‘fight’ for Paris Agreement, Iran deal

 

 

 

"And, drawing a knowing laugh from the crowd of Ploughshares donors, Kerry said the president’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement does not take effect until the day after the 2020 election."

Right.

From Fox Views. Whatta surprise...

 

What Is the Green Climate Fund and How Much Does the U.S. Actually Pay?

 

 "The United States has pledged by far the most — $3 billion, twice that of the second-largest pledger, Japan."

 

"But on a per-capita basis, many other countries have offered more than the United States. Swedes, for example, will contribute nearly $60 each.

 

"If the United States contributed its full pledge, the total would be a little less than $10 per American. With Mr. Trump stopping payments, the United States will have contributed $1 billion, or just more than $3 per person."

Willfully uninformed=Willfully ignorant.

Pledge, is the operative word. From the second biggest polluter on the planet.
