Getting ready for the entry of Biden?

Seriously, Paris was a farce, it was dominated by bankers and carbon credits investors whose only goal was to increase the value of their holdings of carbon credit certificates. It was all disgustingly self interested. Just ask Greta.

They even demanded unused credits be rescinded, and countries (rich and poor) buy new credits certificates from them, so as to help the planet (sarcasm).

as effective as the Kyoto Protocol.

More likely regrettable because the U.S. won't be footing the majority of the cost impacts.

I thought as usual the statement from Japanese govt. spoken to neighbouring countries: "Unforgivenable"! 

Very humble and very restrained this time!

At this moment, Vice President Biden is on the verge of becoming the President-Elect. If that happens, sanity will return to American environmental policy.

The US will be back in the Paris agreement in under three months. The world can get back to being serious about tackling climate change knowing that America is on the same team.

The world is about to get a much better vibe and begin cooperating where it needs to.

Fortunately it will be short lived. Biden just flipped Pennsylvania and Georgia, he’ll be the next President and undoubtedly undo this idiotic Trump move.

President Biden will bring the USA back into the fold.

Can he do it unilaterally? It doesn't look like Democrats will have control of the Senate.

Biden’s been part of three presidential elections where the people chose him.

Trump is at zero. What a failure.
