Yes, we pretty much knew that China Joe Biden would rejoin the “historic” Paris Climate agreement, an agreement set up to attempt to make the U.S. compliant while avoiding the duly elected and empowered Senate per the Constitution, trying to placate the Warmists who won’t practice what they preach
Biden will rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. Here’s what happens next
President-elect Joe Biden will reenter the U.S. into the Paris Climate Agreement, the global pact forged five years ago among nearly 200 nations to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
The move will come after President Donald Trump formally withdrew the country from the climate change agreement on Nov. 4, which was the earliest possible date under its terms. Biden said he will bring the U.S. back into the accord as early as February.
Here’s a look at what rejoining means for the U.S. and the world and what could happen next.
In fact, nothing will happen except lots of plans and yammer, just like almost every 1st and 2nd world nation, who are not in compliance.
While the official U.S. exit from the accord further isolated Washington from the rest of the world, it won’t necessarily have an immediate impact on international efforts to mitigate climate change and implement the framework of the agreement.
However, nearly every country in the world is part of the agreement. Of the 195 countries that signed the agreement, 189 countries officially adopted the accord, and no other country besides the U.S. has abandoned it.
“Since the U.S. has one of the biggest economies in the world and has contributed the most to climate change, it is incredibly important that the U.S. return to the Paris agreement,†said Cornell University climate scientist Natalie Mahowald, a lead author of the 2018 U.N. report on climate change.
Trump getting us out of Obama’s bad deal was putting America first. Biden will put America last
The U.S. is the world’s second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases behind China and is seen as key in the global effort to reduce the effects of climate change.
“U.S. leadership and the U.S.-China bilateral agreement to cut CO2 emissions were key to getting the Paris agreement on track,†said Mahowald. “Continued U.S. involvement and leadership is key to any effort to stop climate change.â€
The America haters and China lovers will continue their China love, even as China makes pledges that they have no intention of keeping.
More broadly, the U.S. will have to rebuild trust with other nations in the agreement, especially after Trump’s legacy of climate change denial and his official withdrawal from the accord.
Why is it always that the U.S. will have to “rebuild trust”? Why do other countries, a good chunk of whom the U.S. has saved and/or protected for 100 years, think they can dictate our policies? Perhaps they should just say “thank you”, rather than expecting the U.S. to change while those countries don’t.
I’m looking forward to China Joe giving up his own use of fossil fuels.

California capped a week of unprecedented coronavirus spread, with officials unsure how much worse it will get while placing hope that new restrictions could help slow infections as the holidays approach.

Joe Biden won the White House, overwhelmingly, but otherwise, since Election Day, the news for Democrats has been bleak. They failed to flip the Senate—though the Georgia runoffs could still give them a 50-50 tie, broken by Vice President Kamala Harris—and lost seats in the House of Representatives, where they had been projected to pad their majority. But nowhere was the news worse than at the state legislative level, where despite unprecedented investment by Democratic organizations and outside groups, and expectations that they’d flip from four to eight legislative bodies—or more, in a “blue wave†election—the party lost ground.
The COVID pandemic is testing us in unprecedented ways, giving us a more tangible understanding of the importance of resilience, and of the scale of challenges we need to address as a society. We no longer can ignore our collective responsibility to change things. The time to act is now — for all of us.

A group of current and incoming representatives – plus one sitting senator – reiterated their demands on Thursday that the incoming Biden administration put forward massive, progressive action on climate change.
