But which country is complying with Paris accord and meeting their goals? China, EU, Japan? I am not arguing because I believe global warming is a serious problem and that we need to so something. Personally I am doing my part.
This is the first deal stuck by EU, which requires specific provision of inclusion of Paris accord. Enforcement of future compliance no-one really knows. Atleast it is on paper and both signatories are enthusiastic about Paris accord.
Or they agree to something like the Bancor based on a basket of currencies, weighted heavily toward JPY and EUR. Whatever, the damage done by our psychopath president rages on.
Because , in contrast to the U.S., both are moving, or have already moved, away from Coal. Trump goal as President was better relations with his banker. And that meant saying fuck off to our NATO Allies. He's worked hard to improve relations with his banker. And he's probably succeeded in achieving that goal. In fact, his kowtowing to Putin to secure his lines of credit with Russian Banks and Russian Oligarchs may be his smartest business move yet, assuming he can stay out of U.S. Jails.
