It was extremely easy for nations to join the “landmark”, “historic” Paris Climate Agreement. Most of the requirements were actually set up to be voluntary. But, it was heralded as mega super awesome and was going to Save The Planet. Much like the Kyoto Protocol, though, it turns out that most signatories are actually doing anything
(Breitbart) Following President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, a number of other nations have quietly begun ignoring the Paris energy goals, according to a new report out of Canada.
According to Lawrence Solomon of Energy Probe, a Toronto-based environmental organization, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is one of the only signers of the Paris agreement who is actually abiding by the exacting demands of the accord.
Meanwhile, Solomon notes in an essay in Friday’s Financial Post, “most signatories are ignoring, if not altogether abandoning Paris commitments, undoubtedly because voters in large part put no stock in scary global warming scenarios.â€
“Trudeau now stands almost alone in sincere support of Paris,†Solomon writes. “The populist backlash — a revulsion at top-down governments laden with jet-setting politicians landing in posh places to preach restraint to the masses — has swept America with Trump’s election, Great Britain with Brexit, much of Europe, and Australia.â€
“In the process, global warming enthusiasts are being swept out,†he writes.
Who’s surprised? Doing Something about Hotcoldwetdry sounds great on paper, but, as soon as citizens have to start actually ponying up their own money, as soon as it starts raising their cost of living, as soon as it starts restricting their own lifestyles and liberty, well, that’s where it all hits the fan. The Queensland 2012 elections were the bellwether, where the ruling Labor party, which pushed ‘climate change’ laws, lost so many seats that they were not even an officially recognized party in the legislature. Really, ‘climate change’ hasn’t done well at the ballot box.
And missing targets shouldn’t be any surprise. Almost no Kyoto Protocol signatories met theirs. And, Germany, which is one of the loudest voices on Hotcoldwetdry, is going to miss their 2020 Paris agreement targets. And, as the Breitbart article points out, Australia rejected the Clean Energy Target, which was their plan to comply with the non-binding Paris agreement. Furthermore, the Australian elections last week saw two parties with no interest in pursuing ‘climate change’ scam policies (which weren’t even discussed in the leadup to the election) swept into power.
Cult of Climastrology stuff sounds great on paper. Have fun, Canada.
