Yup. Thats just what I've been saying.
The UN Paris Accord is a farce. It does little to nothing to reduce global CO2 emissions and global warming.
And Al Gore's Energy Transitions Plan is another farce. It sounds great, but why didn't Obama and/or Al Gore and/or the environmental community demand that this plan or something similar be incorporated into the 2015 UN Paris climate accords? No country is going to voluntarily take these steps on its own---a decarbonization plan has to be part of a global climate treaty to be effective.
I get that Obama was probably too busy scheduling all his upcoming $400,000 speeches with the Wall Street Banks, but why didn't the Sierra Club or GreenPeace or 350.org or SOMEBODY denounce the UN Paris Treaty instead of going along with the farce? Dr. James Hansen denounced it as worthless, but he's about the only one that had the honesty to do it.
Cheers!
