Title: Paris Agreement petition
Post by lee on Oct 24^th, 2019 at 4:11pm

I see there is a petition before Parliament to withdraw from the Paris Agreement.

You know the agreement that gives China and India a free pass until about 2030. Seems very strange if CO2 is an "existential" threat.

The Paris Agreement is very unfair to allow many of the worst
polluters to keep on polluting.

The Paris Agreement doesn't hold anyone to anything. It is a voluntary thing.

There are no penalties for not meeting any agreed value.
